Greetings All,
I have a new post on the blog. It goes a little bit more in depth on 
wcfxo.c and touches on zaptel.c. Two more screen shots. Loads of fun.

Take a look: http://zapteldoc.blogspot.com

 I'd thought I'd been through the whole Zapata Telephony Site. Could you
 e-mail back and point to the specific links you had in mind?

Start with

http://www.zapatatelephony.org/philos.html

and dive into

http://www.zapatatelephony.org/project.html

and then into

2004-09-08 Thread Victor Rini
Hello All,
I've got a new post up on the blog. I would have had it up sooner but 
blogspot was having trouble.

I even included neat graphic!
Check it out: http://zapteldoc.blogspot.com
By the way someone mentioned that my choice of color scheme wasn't 
optimal so to speak - i.e. lacked contrast. I'm not a web designer so I 
was inclined to go with one of blogspot's limited theme choices. If 
anyone has a preference of blogspot theme or can give a succint set of 
instructions on manipulating the current theme - please let me know. 
I'll defer to your judgement.

Regards,
Victor

be great, perhaps through using a blog or wiki.

Once the zaptel dragon is dispatched, I'd then focus on Asterisk.
What do you all think?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I sure as hell would be interested in 
such a document.  I don't think it would even just be for the 
technically inclined but not hard core technical guys either.  I 
consider myself pretty hard core but I just don't have the time to sit 
down and learn about how it all works on the inside.  There's just too 
many other projects that need to be done.  So in my opinion, a document 
that just lays it out in plain english would save me a heck load of time 
and allow me to learn about something that I unfortunately just don't 
have the time (or motivation) to figure out for myself and therefore 
probably wouldn't end up learning about otherwise. :)

My 2c.

I'll be happy to be a second set of eyes to help edit such a document.

 Hello,

 myself with device driver programming and the interesting hardware on
 the wildcards. I've always thought Asterisk and Zaptel were two of the

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Zaptel 'Under the Hood' Project

2004-09-07 Thread Victor Rini
Thanks for the replies. Today I'll set up a blog. It's quick and it will 
serve as a diary of my progress.

I toyed a little bit yesterday with a docbook editor called 
conglomerate. It's a little rough but it may do the job.

Lastly I'll be learning how the asterisk wiki works. This may be the 
best place for community involvement with the document.

Everyone keep chiming in.
Thanks,
Victor

Tony,
I'd thought I'd been through the whole Zapata Telephony Site. Could you 
e-mail back and point to the specific links you had in mind?

As I recall, the tormenta driver source and a brief discussion on the 
linux port had the most releveant information.

Thanks,

Hello Everyone,
The blog for the project is up and has a couple of posts. Haloscan 
commenting is enabled. I've included a site feed but I'm a little unsure 
about it.
