FreeBSD and Zaptel

Hello,

I'm starting to experiment with Asterisk on FreeBSD and I'm
wondering  
if zaptel is really needed. I will be playing MOH and as
well as using  
MeetMe. I've been using Asterisk on Linux with ztdummy.
However, our  
company wants to start migrating to xBSD (FreeBSD to be
specific) and  
I want to make sure we won't have any problems with
Asterisk. In some  
places, I read that ztdummy was not really needed on BSD,
but other  
places to make reference to compiling zaptel on BSD. I
assume that if  
I were going to use a Digium card (or the like), I would
need to  
compile zaptel. However, not sure if I really need ztdummy.
Please  
advise.

Thanks,
Waldo

Yes zaptel is needed for ztdummy for timing. There are a few
things to also 
set when you build your setup. You have to know what to
enable and what not 
to enable in the build.

Thanks. I guess I'll follow the instructions on the wiki for
building  
zaptel and then just load zaptel.ko and ztdummy.ko.

Hi,

I'm running Asterisk on FreeBSD on a number of
installations, and some of
them do not have zaptel installed.  I suspect it is only
needed for TDM
connectivity and if you need ztdummy (I don't use MeetMe).


Regards,
Aragon

if you build asterisk from the ports it builds zaptel.
