I would like to echo the sentiment of a recent previous poster that this
list is named 'asterisk-bsd' and not 'asterisk-freebsd'; I am disappointed
for the lack of participation by openbsd developers and saddened by
lack of interest when I tried (some years ago) to mount a porting effort
for the IXJ driver (or any analog station hardware driver).  With the lack
of telephony hardware support for obsd, and poor support for the IXJ
driver in freebsd, I was forced to run linux.

The choice of obsd is often dictated by the application mix; in my case,
I needed to host asterisk on a border router running obsd and isakmpd
ipsec vpn with kernel pf support; in the alternative I had to setup a
diskless linux slave to run asterisk.  Freebsd was just not an
alternative.
