Further 0.7 observations... 1. Migration from Zaptel to DAHDI following astlinux.org documentation seems to have worked perfectly.
2. The VPMADT032 (or whatever it's called) hardware echo-canceller which comes with the TDM410P looks as though it works out of the box (as far as dmesg is concerned - I don't have lines here to test), as I'm fairly sure I never manually configured it on this former 0.6 box. 3. Boot time with a TDM board is massively quicker too - the modules are no longer reinitialized each time the latency is increased, nor is the echo-canceller (is this a DAHDI improvement, or an Astlinux one?). 4. Finally (a small, but irritating point from 0.6), SSHing in when the box is not connected to the internet is now as quick as when it is connected - in 0.6, there was a huge delay before the password prompt appeared. Nice work indeed, so thanks again. Tom On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 5:03 PM, Tom Chadwin <[email protected]> wrote: > Back from hols, and here are first impressions after my first 0.7 upgrade: > > 1.
