[Asterisk-Users] Module nonsense (zaptel, wcfxs and wxfxo)

[tmassey at obscorp.com]

Hello!

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.

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...

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?

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...

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?

Thank you,

Tim Massey
