[Asterisk-Users] How can you check that egTDM04B hardwareinstalled and drivers OK

[Angus Comber]

Digium logged in and fixed the problem.  It seems they had to fix the zaptel 
source code - so not really something I could easily have done.  something 
about adding the subvendors ID to the cards source.  So I assume a bug.

I personally feel a little indebted to Digium for sorting the problem and 
obviously making the Asterisk available.  But would like them even more if I 
didn't have to go through these problems ;)
