zaptel support is hampered by the architectural choices - the kernel parts aren't just simple device drivers, which could be included (a bit) more easily, but they deal with various non-hardware-specific things, e.g. echo cancellation and application-specific timers, which I don't think really belong in the kernel. I haven't heard any claims of code audit for zaptel and it doesn't exactly make for easy reading, I'm quite happy that I don't need it very often. I'm not familiar with the quicknet devices (and they doesn't seem to be too widely available now unless I'm mistaken?) - they look like they would probably be an easier target, but still a lot of work (and I've got a feeling people would just whine for zaptel if that went in). Someone should build some nice cheap USB FXO/FXS devices, ideally with (at least the option of) built-in G.729, and a chan_* driver using libusb for portability. Then put a bunch together in 1U 19" cases for the 'business edition' :-) Hmm, or even something as simple as an iaxy with some half-decent usb<>ethernet in front (the realtek ones are ok), all powered from USB to avoid the horrible mess of cables ... > With the lack of telephony hardware support for obsd, and poor > support for the IXJ driver in freebsd, I was forced to run linux. Where I can't use the OS I'd prefer to use for an application, if I can't find an alternative app I'll try and use some OS close to that used by the app's developers in the hope of it reducing the chance of incompatibility. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- Asterisk-BSD mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-bsd
