OK. I solved this problem and thought I would post a follow-up for the archives.
It did turn out to be a hardware problem. The card worked fine under Linux but not under FreeBSD so I assumed (incorrectly) that is was something in the driver or software. I removed the card over the weekend and did some testing on the electronics. It turned out that the resistor that provides impedance loading on the line was bad. I'm not sure why it still worked under Linux but FreeBSD refused to work with the crappy hardware (as it should). I'm glad to find out that my favorite FreeBSD wasn't letting me down (it never has yet ;-) ) and I'm back up and running. Thanks to all who tried to help. I did learn a lot about how asterisk works with the zaptel card. ---- Kirk -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kim Culhan Sent: May 5, 2005 8:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-bsd] Zaptel X100P card dropping calls On Wednesday, May 04, 2005 11:17 PM, Kirk Davis said: > -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1' > May 4 16:08:20 NOTICE[31109]: chan_zap.c:5626 ss_thread: Got event > 2 (Ring/Answered)... > -- Executing Wait("Zap/1-1", "1") in new stack > -- Executing Answer("Zap/1-1", "") in new stack It doesn't answer the pots line here ? > -- Executing DigitTimeout("Zap/1-1", "5") in new stack > -- Set Digit Timeout to 5 > -- Executing ResponseTimeout("Zap/1-1", "10") in new stack > -- Set Response Timeout to 10 > -- Executing BackGround("Zap/1-1", "demo-congrats") in new stack > -- Playing 'demo-congrats' (language 'en') > -- Executing BackGround("Zap/1-1", "demo-instruct") in new stack > -- Playing 'demo-instruct' (language 'en') > > << Right here it answers the POTS line and then hangs it up >> Please post your zapata.conf file also -kim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
