You don't need to know a lot about programming to cut and past
lines out of a file.  You don't have to fix the problem.  But it
would help a lot if you could identify _which_ line the error
is comming from.  I don't read Greek but I bet I could find the
12th line on page 72 in some Greek book.

But I assumed anyone who's attempting to port Asterisk to BSD
would know about C and the BSD system.  Ports like that, mostly
require a bit of programming.  I expect you will
need to re-write 1/3rd of the code in the zaptel directory.
No way would any of that stuff work on BSD.
