I don't know for sure how you did it. But I been working with Asterisk+Zaptel+Libpri here in UK both for personnal and commercial VOIP applications. My success so far on the BSDs is with FreeBSD and never had any single damn problem. I have and reviewed the specs of digium over and over again that zaptel is the device driver for the NIC card that talks to the kernel. If you claimed that you made OpenBSD run asterisk, then that is something worthwhile to talk about. But as I could see, your setup is making your machine connecting to some other machine elsewhere. Well, in my opinion it would be nice if one could put zaptel+libpri+asterisk under one box just as a typical pabx.
FYI, I do not used softphones and I prefer hardphones. > On Tue, Feb 13, 2007 at 10:39:59AM -0000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > | If zaptel won't work in openbsd, there is no way for asterisk be installed. > Hence, no chance for > | any SIP protocol to work.
