Doing some searching on the mail archives will point you in the right
direction. Thorsten Lockert posted quite a bit a while back (May)
with his excellent patches for OpenBSD. I have successfully compiled
Asterisk, but real life keeps interrupting my intended goal of
testing with SIP channels.
What would make leap up and down with glee would be to see the Digium
hardware supported in OpenBSD, but I don't think that's going to
happen any time soon.
Why don't you try getting it running on FreeBSD? Shouldn't be _that_
hard, but I can't say for sure.
