[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on Solaris 10 (AMD Opteron, Sun Fire X2100)

Hey Alex,

Please forgive the question, but what is the rationale behind using Solaris
over Linux as an asterisk hosting platform? 

Cheers,

Mark

Hello, world!

I'm considering running Asterisk 1.2.4 on Solaris 10 on a Sun Fire 
X2100 server or two (Opteron CPU, nForce 4 chipset), and apparently 
this works. I've read that the Zaptel package won't work on anything 
other than Linux, since it's intended to hook into the Linux kernel 
in the form of a kernel module. This concerns me, since I've read 
that ztdummy, the timing-source component of Zaptel, is required for 
the music-on-hold and conferencing functions of Asterisk to function.

So, with this in mind, is there any way to run a complete Asterisk 
solution on Solaris 10 (including music-on-hold and conferencing)? If so,
how?

Thanks in advance!
