Hi,
Just a quick one.
Last month i created a asterisk system running on freebsd-7
(pre-release) Nothing special, Took an 1.4 asterisk from the ports tree.

Only minor point is that it takes foreven and a day to rebuild the whole
lot, but that is because i had to use old hardware. (bsd is pick about
hardware....)

But on the whole, it works nicely including the tdm-board.
