[asterisk-users] ZapRAS priviledge error

[Will Payne]

Another day, another error..

Am now getting:

Plugin zaptel.so loaded.
Zaptel Plugin Initialized
Using zaptel device 'stdin'
Zaptel device is 'stdin'
Unable to put device 'stdin' into HDLC mode


Should ZapRAS see the channel as stdin and not /dev/zap/x?

Will
