But one more question please: I have a Debian host base with vserver support (virtual machines, I use them for running squid, postfix and a lot of services without problems) I?ve just installed Asterisk in a new vserver from Debian Etch repositories and I get this error:
Setting up zaptel (1.2.11.dfsg-1) ... mknod: `/dev/zap/ctl': Operation not permitted dpkg: error processing zaptel (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 After that I see the content of /dev/zap and there is nothing at all. Any idea ??? Can I continue without this device if I use only softphones ???
