Thank you Shaun, that patch did the trick. DAHDI compiled and appears to 
be functioning normally.

I wondered if I might impose upon you for a question. I am in the 
process of replacing an old router with a T1 interface with a Linux 
machine. My test rig is currently using a spare TE220F. I know digium's 
card were primarily designed to function in a telephony role, but is 
there any technical reason I should not use them in an exclusively data 
role as well? I am trying to decide if I should purchase another TE220F 
(which I have experience with) or use a Sangoma product (which I do not).

Thank you for your time.
