<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've been playing with two pieces of
hardware: a X100P and a TDM400P with an FXO and two FXS modules.
I had been using just the TDM card; however, the TDM FXO module
seems to hear things and "answer" the telephone for no reason,
and I wanted to compare the results with an X100P card.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If you want further details, I can give
them to you, but suffice it to say that trying to work with both cards
and both modules has been incredibly frustrating. Modules that won't
load, or that load but don't work when you run Asterisk, or Asterisk segfaulting
even though the modules *seem* to load properly...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Am I the only person who finds the combination
of seeminly awkward separation between modules, duplicated information
(between zaptel.conf and zapata.conf), strange interactions and limitations
between different modules for what would seem to be very similar hardware?
This is not a rhetorical question, nor is it a shot at the developers.
I'm really asking two things: am I alone in this? Or
are my expectations too high?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I would be thrilled to give you whatever
information you might desire if you're interested in seeing what I'm talking
about. I'm using a dirt-simple configuration: basically four-line
configuration files, just the minimum necessary to make the hardware work.
Even these configurations cause a dizzying variety of issues...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Again, I'm not trying to blast anyone.
I just wonder what I can do to improve my success! :) Mostly,
I would like to hear how others are fairing, particularly with a variety
of analog devices. Am I alone?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thank you,</font>
