[Asterisk-bsd] RES: Hi all

Wed Jul 9 14:56:42 CDT 2008

At the risk of sounding redundant, why not just install Asterisk from the ports collection. Everything you need to run on 7,0-RELEASE or 7,0-STABLE is right there and builds in one operation, including zaptel.

Of course, I know it's easy to oversimplify, but I'd do a fresh install of 7.0-STABLE, then install the ports and do this:

cd /usr/ports/net/asterisk && make install clean

Select the zaptel driver and any other of the options you wish when the config screen displays, then sit back for about an hour and "you're in like Flynn".

I'm running 7.0-STABLE with Asterisk 1.4.20.1. It's a solid as can be for my use. But being that you have 150 phones at risk, I'd take it one step further. 80 GB hard drives can be had for less than $50 these days. Pickup a new drive, build the new setup and then test it before blasting away your stable operation. If all works well then "you're in like Flynn".

Who the heck is that Flynn guy anyway.... ;-)

Good luck.

Maybe I wasn't clear..  I'm very aware how old it is.  It's also very 
stable, which what I want to keep, since the District depends on it 
for 150 phones.. 

I'm planning a fresh install of 7.0-RELEASE, then migrate the 
configs over. 

I"ve gotten the ports/misc/zaptel compiled and loaded, just 
fine. 

What version of asterisk, should I use with the zaptel port? 
That's what I'm needing..   The current release off of Asterisk.org 
hangs and locks up..  built from source. 

What revision works well with the ports zaptel, on 7.0

[Asterisk-bsd] RES:  Hi all

Hi, 

FreeBSD 6.1 is very old release (more 1 year), at least you need update your ports, but the better way is update all (sources and ports) with “cvsup”, or install fresh release (FreeBSD 7.0) and after that do a “cvsup” ports/sources, “make” buildworld… install to get last version of all, syst. Op. and ports (Asterisk, Zaptel, …)

Good luck,

Assunto: Re: [Asterisk-bsd] Hi all 

If one wanted to build Asterisk on FreeBSD 7.0-Release with zaptel 
drivers for T110   (wcte11xp), which rev of 1.4 should I use, and is 
the zaptel package in ports/misc/zaptel ok to use (1.4.6) 

Currently on 1.2.12.1 on Freebsd 6.1 

What major problems/changes do I need to be aware of?

If memory does not fail me, I think there is no ISDN support in 7.0? I
think it will be with 7.1?

Most questions in ast-user list are concerning dialplans and which
phone is the best :)
