Re: SIP on OpenBSD
If I'm not mistaken you could use a Patton (or any other brand) VoIP gateway to connect to the physical phonelines and use Asterisk running on OpenBSD to talk to the VoIP gateway using SIP. I've not tried Patton, and there are many alternatives. But yeah, exactly.

Re: SIP on OpenBSD
I keep seeing the subject coming up. Yes, a complete OpenBSD solution would be nice. However only two persons offer some possible financial help to make this happen, but nothing concrete. In any case, I put the wheel in motion to replace a commercial solution my business use, and I will do what I need to replace it. How long will it takes, well... Time is not endless, free will is goodwill only and in limited resources, and money doesn't grow on trees either. So, may be your $$$ help can speed things up more. But, real good talent for writing is properly is very rare, but welcome possibly. So, fell free to contact me, but $$$ is really what's needed most in the end to speed up the progress and to get this off the ground to give it a life of it's own sooner then later.

If one's intention is to run just purely VOIP softphones and hardphones, the asterisk software alone is enough to do the job. Whereas, if you want to interface you machine to an existing old pabx or if you want your openbsd machine to work with pstn at your location then you need to get zaptel+libpri working on your machine.
