[Asterisk-Users] FreeBSD + Zaptel + Asterisk

[Tom (UnitedLayer)]

I've been lurking on the list for quite a while now, and I hadn't seen
much from people using FreeBSD, so I figured I'd post something.

Yes, the driver in the ports tree for the digium card works!
I'd heard reports that it crashes the box/etc, but I have yet to encounter
that.

I've had all the fun I can stand making it answer the phone, dial
numbers/etc. The makefile for the fxo_test program needs a bit of work,
but its pretty easy to do. I added some other features to it, so at some
point I may make it a bit more interesting :)

Unfortunately that particular driver only seems to support the X100/X101
cards, so the larger cards will prolly have to wait, but it is a start in
the right direction.

Building asterisk is a PITA due to the lack of anyone fixing pwlib, lots
of asterisk's dependencies depend on pwlib. Someone should prolly fix this
as there have been patches out for quite a while now. If I get bored
enough, I'll do it myself :)

I got asterisk to build, run fine, run the demo, and do a couple other
things. My X100P card works good, it answers calls, dials calls, sounds
good/etc.

I ran into some trouble when working on un-natting my setup, and I got a
buncha weird messages from chan_sip.c about "address family not supported
by protocol family".
Given that I think we're talking about TCP+UDP, there's something up
there. I'm gonna rebuild and see what happens tomorrow.

My Setup:
OS: 5.2.1-RELEASE (installed about a week ago)
HW: AMD 1.4Ghz, 512MB ram
FXO: X100P
Location: San Francisco, CA

If anyone is interested in my story, lemme know :)
I'll try to help, but I can't promise anything.

plz reply off list

thx
