Also, TerraSoft sponsored an Asterisk port to YellowDog Linux on PPC - from what I gather, with full Zaptel support.

I didn't think it's be necessary to run YDL to get Zaptel to work. Does anyone know if this is the case? From what I understand, as long as zaptel compiles it's up to udev and the kernel to do the remaining hardware detection and resource assignment, which should be a distribution-agnostic process.

Is it possible that this particular chip used in this particular X100P clone is not supported on LinuxPPC? It is a Motorola 6508 chip, identical to the SM56 winmodem. A picture of the card is here:

Appreciative for any help.

So I took a chance with an X100P knock-off on eBay. I'm running Asterisk + FreePBX on a PowerMac G3 (beige desktop) using Slackintosh 10.2 and kernel 2.6.16.16. Everything has been fine up until now.
I compile the 1.2.5 Zaptel drivers without a problem, get the udev configuration in, modprobe zaptel, and finally modprobe wcfxo. At this point, I get the message:

ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: No such device or address (6)
FATAL: Error running install command for wcfxo

dmesg gives me:

Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196
Zaptel Version: 1.2.5 Echo Canceller: MG2

wcfxo: probe of 0000:00:0e.0 failed with error -5

syslog tells me:

ztcfg -vv says:

ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: No such device or address (6)

and lspci -vv tells me this:

One of the reasons I'm running on a PowerMac is specifically because I've been told the X100P cards work well on this type of hardware, since it tends to not have problems with flawed PCI buses and IRQ sharing, but I'm starting to have my doubts. If anyone has experience with X100P cards on PPC, or have any other insights, it would be greatly appreciated.
