I manage my own Debian package repository for Debian stable (woody) backports of asterisk and related stuff (based somewhat on backports.org). I currently use: Version: 1:1.0.6-0.bristuff_0.2.0_RC7k.cril.0 so it's about the same (I just have a few additional patches). > It could be: bristuff-0.2.0-RC7k stuff from http://www.junghanns.net/ - > but this locks you into using a particular - non-HEAD version of > Asterisk.. (and missing all the new goodies) not really, AFAIK the last time I tried, the BRI patches apply cleanly also to more recent versions. And 1.0.6 works quite well for me. The only problem I still have with 1.0.6 is that for some reason, IAXcomm user tell me that when they get a call, and answer it, then after 30 seconds or 1 minute a new call comes in (which is fake) and you have to cancel it in IAXcomm to get the first call correctly. I haven't debugged it yet. I have SIP phones, IAX2 connections to remote Asterisk, ISDN bidirectionnal gateway, analog TDM board with el cheapo analog tel, DECT CLIP-compatible phone (works), and also ISDN local phones (using HFC NT mode). > I wish there were single, four and eight port ISDN BRI cards that Digium sold > and supported - so I could run whichever version of Asterisk I wanted... ISDN was never popular in the US for BRI lines. In Europe we even do stupid things such as multiple-BRI operated in cascade (e.g. 4 BRIs, giving you the equivalent of 8 communication channels), where it would be more intelligent to use (partial) E1 for that purpose. I think Germany has those partial E1 available to the public. In the US, people usually do analog upto 10 lines and then get a T1. As analog lines include caller ID (however AFAIK no easy ability to *set* outgoing caller ID nor real calle*d* ID, without distinctive ringing), most benefits of BRI ISDN are unneeded. That's why most BRI ISDN development is done in Europe -- or more precizely looks like it's Germany, really. An alternative to zaptel is to use the m_isdn implementation of the Linux kernel. As I use 2.4 and it works very well with zaptel/zaphfc, I didn't bother to try the 2.6 (crappy) kernels or the 2.4-m_isdn backport yet. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
