[asterisk-users] Zaptel 1.2.26 problems

[Lex Lethol]

Hey Ira,

I'm glad someone else noticed this.  I found out this with 3-4
installs the hard way.

Latest (or should I say last X releases) zaptel 1.2 have some strange
bug on wctdm and will not working OK for incoming calls.  The problem
described is exactly what I experienced, if you unload and load zaptel
modules sometimes incoming rings will get detected and asterisk picks
up, but I would say about 5% of test calls get pickd up with the newer
versions...

I am able to reproduce this almost immediately after installeing
latest 1.2 from branch (ie. SVN-branch-1.2-r120109M).  I thought it
had to do with one install (low ring voltage, etc) but its definitely
a zaptel version issue.

I went back to zaptel (ie. SVN-branch-1.2-r46964M) and the wctdm goes
back to work OK for incoming calls.

If anyone from digium sees this, I'd be glad to help any way I can so
that you can debug the problem.

BTW loading zaptel with debug=1 will not give any relevant info on
incloming calls that wont 'ring' via dmesg.

Regards,
Lex
