I tried Sangoma and even though they list FreeBSD as a supported operating system they will not support it and have told me I need to move to Linux.  I am using Sangoma A102 2 port E1/T1 cards.  If anyone has a T1 card they get better support out of I would love input as well.

This fails because zaptel 1.4.11(vr?) doesn't work right.

Alex, the freebsd support person at Sangoma, is the person responsible 
for this afaik--he has been made aware of the workaround for this 
situation.  Sangoma has also been made aware of false advertising on 
their website on multiple occasions.  I'll leave to you to decide what 
that means about the company.  I know if I had a choice now, I'd ditch 
my Sangoma products in heartbeat.

The workaround around I've found is to just use http://www.oldports.org/ 
to put a previous version of zaptel on which wanpipe will compile 
against(1.4.6_7 maybe?).  Another thing to consider is if asterisk will 
work properly with the version of zaptel you've got installed so be 
aware of that too.  Also wanpipe works perfectly under fbsd7 when done 
correctly contrary to Sangoma documentation.

When I first got started with asterisk on freebsd, I went with sangoma 
because they did provide freebsd support.  Ironically, digum cards are 
probably much better supported now than Sangoma.  I think there are a 
couple of other voice tdm asterisk freebsd compatible cards, but not 
sure what they are.

At the end of the day, my FreeBSD/Asterisk experience has been good, my 
Sangoma not so good.  My Sangoma card are a101d and a104d.  Another 
funny experience with them is I got my first card, an a101, then call in 
about it a month later only to hear from them that it wasn't supported 
either.  Had to send it back and pay for upgrade to A101d.
