[Asterisk-Users] ztdummy

[Paul Fielding]

Ok, Here's my ztdummy question.  Forgive my ignorance.  Everything I read 
about ztdummy and zaptel cards describes them as being required 'for 
timing'.  But what exactly does this imply?

Eg.  I have two separate boxes where I did the following:
- installed Linux (debian Woody)
- compiled a 2.4 kernel
- added a few other prereq packages needed to allow Asterisk to compile
- compiled and configured Asterisk

At this point Asterisk works like a hot darn, no problem, for everything I 
try to do.  No Zaptel card.  No ztdummy.  So what does ztdummy buy me?

regards,

Paul
