I don't know if this helps, but I've been running our office IP phone system on Asterisk, on a NetBSD-1.6.1 system for over a month now, with no trouble at all. The functionality is limited at the moment, due to the lack of the features provided by the zaptel drivers, but I hope to remedy that in the not-too-distant future. -Brian Message: 10 Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2004 20:27:07 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on FreeBSD 4.9?

Is this Linux-specific bias intentional or accidental? I would call it historical. Asterisk was first developed on Linux, and little attention was paid to portability. This is changing, though there are still Linuxisms in the code. I would hesitate to consider it stable yet on anything other than Linux, but YMMV. I personally would like to see Asterisk portable to any *nix with pthreads, and am working to make this happen. As always help in the form of patches, testing or accounts for building and testing on less common types of systems are appreciated. -w -- /~\ The ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email X No Word docs in email / \ Respect for open standards _______________________________________________ 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
