! 			vpb.conf holds the configuration for the VoiceTronix line of OpenLine and OpenSwitch 
! 			hardware.  The VoiceTronix hardware can be either FXO or FXS channels, depending on 
! 			how the card is set up.  The OpenSwitch 6 OpenSwitch 12 have 6 or 12 respective 
! 			Loop-Start (FXO) or Station (FXS) user-configurable analogue ports.   The OpenLine 4 
! 			has 4 Loop-Start (FXO) ports.

! 			<para>
! 			All of the options in the configuration file are shown in the example configuration file

! 			The general section allows you to make settings that affect all boards, as 
! 			well as define the number of boards (cards),of the same type, in the machine.
! 			The <varname>type</varname> variable setting lets you define the card types 
! 			that are in the system, valid entries are: v4pci (OpenLine 4) and v12pci 
! 			(OpenSwitch 6 and 12).  The <varname>cards</varname> variable is the number 
! 			of VoiceTronix cards in the server.
! 			</para>
! 			<para>
! 			The interfaces section contains the information about the specific cards in 
! 			the system.  The interfaces section is broken up by <varname>board</varname>
! 			 variables.  Everything from a board = line to the next board = line is
! 			considered part of that board definition.  The <varname>echocancel</varname>
! 			 variable can be turned on (or off) to effect echo cancellation.  This 
! 			can compensate for lower quality lines when working with a channel in FXO 
! 			mode.  The <varname>callerid</varname> variable can be turned on for the 
! 			detection of callerid data on the FXO channels of a card.  The <varname>context</varname>
! 			 variable is the Asterisk context that incoming calls will be put into.  
! 			This should point to a context that can answer incoming calls.  
! 			The <varname>txhwgain</varname> <varname>rxhwgain</varname> variables control 
! 			the amount of gain on the transmit and recieve volumes that is performed 
! 			in the hardware DSP.  The <varname>txgain</varname> and <varname>rxgain</varname> 
! 			variables control the amount of gain on the transmit and recieve volumes 
! 			performed in software.  The <varname>channel</varname> variable is used to 
! 			define the existance of a particular channel.  If channels 1, 2, and 3 are 
! 			available on an OpenSwitch 6 card, the above example will work.

! 			Card configurations of 0 FXS and 6 FXO, 2 FXS and 4 FXO, 4 FXS and 2 FXO, 
! 			6 FXS and 0 FXO are available for the OpenSwitch 6.  Configurations of 
! 			0 FXS and 12 FXO, 4 FXS and 8 FXO, 8 FXS and 4 FXO, 12 FXS and 4 FXO are 
! 			available on the OpenSwitch 12.  These must be setup with onboard jumpers
! 			 before Asterisk can use them.  For more information about how to configure 
! 			the OpenLine and OpenSwitch cards please refer to the driver documentation 
! 			that comes with the card.

! 				The VoiceTronix OpenLine and OpenSwitch Cards are an inexpensive line of
! 				FXO and FXS cards for standard analog lines.  In low density implmentations 
! 				they can be a highly effective solution.  The OpenLine 4 has 4 FXO ports, 
! 				the OpenSwitch 6 has 6 user-configurable ports that can either be FXO or FXS, 
! 				and the OpenSwitch 12 has 12 user-configurable ports that can either be FXO 
! 				or FXS.

! 				The VoiceTronix hardware is supported by the chan_vpb channel driver in 
! 				Asterisk.  The driver is part of the standard Asterisk source distribution 
! 				and is compiled as part of the standard build.  The ring type code can be 
! 				modified to specifically support either US (United States) or AU (Australia) 
! 				ring tones.  With the improvements in indications.conf this will be depreciated.  
! 				</para>
! 
! 			<para>
! 				The chan_vpb channel driver is loaded by the use of the vpb directives in 
! 				either the extensions.conf or somewhere that the channel is used.  To configure 
! 				a specific card, you edit the vpb.conf as per that section of the documentation.
! 				  The VoiceTronix hardware needs a kernel module to operate, vpb, and that must 
! 				be acquired from VoiceTronix:
