Thanks Darick

I finally got the TDM400P card working by manually creating the dahdi 
configuration files. It is probably best to remove the scripts that have perl 
dependancies as they are only wasting space on the image and as my example 
shows serving to cause concern that there is a problem somewhere.

I came to the conclusion last night that the Asterisk GUI causes more problems 
than it solves and resorted to manually editing the configuration files to get 
some basic functionality working, once I finally grasped that there needed to 
be two contexts one for the incoming lines with an s catch all and another for 
the sip phones to dial out instead of having them all-in-one it all started to 
fall into place.

I think my main problem with Asterisk is that there seems to be little (or 
difficult to find) in the way of up-to-date comprehensive documentation, google 
throws up loads of snippets of information on various blogs and wikis much of 
which is now out of date and so it quickly becomes confusing. For me the big 
problem was getting started, I spent hours and hours trying to grasp the 
basics, putting so much effort in and getting more and more frustrated to the 
point I gave up in the past. But then once I finally got it then it was fairly 
straight forward from there, in fact it was far easier to use the files than 
the GUI, now I know why you hide it.
