[Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk on FreeBSD 4.9?

[Brian Buhrow]

	I don't know if this helps, but I've been running our office IP phone
system on Asterisk, on a NetBSD-1.6.1 system for over a month now, with no
trouble at all.  The functionality is limited at the moment, due to the
lack of the features provided by the zaptel drivers, but I hope to remedy
that in the not-too-distant future.

I would call it historical. Asterisk was first developed on Linux,
and little attention was paid to portability. This is changing,
though there are still Linuxisms in the code. I would hesitate
to consider it stable yet on anything other than Linux, but
YMMV.

I personally would like to see Asterisk portable to any
*nix with pthreads, and am working to make this happen. As
always help in the form of patches, testing or accounts for
building and testing on less common types of systems are
appreciated.
