At one point I did have this kit working but since upgrading to the latest
Asterisk, it no longer seems to.
I had the following problems after several reinstallations:
- USB adaptor had a proper dialtone, asterisk recognised the pickup,
but pressing keys on the handset had no effect
- USB adaptor produced a strange horrible tone, not a dialtone;
pressing keys has no effect
- USB adaptor silent; pickup not recognised by Asterisk
So you can see my situtation has gradually deteriorated with each
tinkering/CVS-reinstall of the system.
What I don't understand is what Linux or other elements do I need to get
the USB adaptor to work?
I am running RedHat 9 with the 2.4.20-20.9 kernel.
Apart from these problems, I also noticed the following when using the USB
adaptor:
- unplugging and plugging the handset into the line side of the adaptor
killed the adaptor; have to restart the machine to clear the problem.
- unplugging the USB adaptor from the USB port causes all manner of
problems. 'rmmod'-ing and 'insmod'-ing astrisk related modules
doesn't
help. Running asterisk or 'ztcfg' always complains of problems on the
USB
adaptor channel. Restart of machine needed.
- sometimes problems with the computer's audio system
