[Asterisk-bsd] zaptel drivers and Asterisk 1.4

[Bill Harris]

Rich,

I couldn't agree with you more.  And I apologize if it seems like
complaining.  I just recently used asterisk to replace 5 analog switches
at the school district I work for.   I wrote a small C++  client
to pull all the provisioning info for * and the cisco phones from
a mysql database. It's pretty fast, builds all the asterisk .conf''s,
100+ Cisco .cnf files, and reloads the switch in under a second.

Those that do have time to do the active development, are very
much appreciated by those of us who use it daily to make our
lives easier.   I know you can't can't cash that, but I mean it.

I'd like to wrap a nice gui (maybe the new one in 1.4 if the file
functions are abstracted enough that I can replace them with
database calls) and put it out there for others to use.

With all the changes in 1.4, I can/have to rewrite the client it to
better use the new users.conf format.

I don't have the knowlede/skill to write driver level code, but I've
been successful so far.  My boss appreciates what asterisk does for
the district, and so do the taxpayers of our school district.

BTW, Dinesh,  several at Astricon convinced me I can turn on re-invite,
since I don't need any recording functions.   That will let me enable
real fault tolerance between my primary and secondary switch.  I plan
to put VM and the asterisk db files on a small NAS, like a Snap server
that the two core switches can share.

Bill
