</div>A helpful tool.<br>

Though my opinion is that for the common cases (analog-only systems,<br>
BRI, simple PRI setups) you should just use it and save yourself the<br>
need to configure two and more different places.<br>

I would like to know where it has bad defaults and where it could be<br>

</div>dahdi_genconf is not run automaitcally as part of the installation<br>
procedure and should not be run automatically IMHO.<br>
<br>
(Int also generates a .bak file for every file it generates. But this is<br>
only useful when you run it once)<br>

</div>The parameters files is optional. I'm not sure I like installing sample<br>
configuration files that later on get obsolete. But documentation there<br>
is still badly missing.<br>
