The basic idea is that dahdi-linux is the linux-specific part whereas dahdi-tools should be os-independent. I'm not really sure that this is the case with the dahdi-perl scripts (that rely heavily on the procfs and sysfs interfaces) and the ppp module in dahdi tools. > > About the 64 bit machine: > If my machine is 64 bit, does that effect on selecting the DAHDI and > the Asterisk version?

As I regularily use DAHDI drivers on my 64bit laptop, I can say it works rather well :-) One limitation: if dahdi is built as a module for a 64bit kernel, it will not support 32bit userspace clients. This is normally not something that you do, though. https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=14808 -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[email protected] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[email protected] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[email protected]/tzafrir _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
