Hey all, Just a quick question. Are there any known issues using the zaptel drivers on different linux distros? ie: is a 2.4 kernel the only requirement? I ask because I have an X100P i'm still trying to get work properly and I'm thinking there is nothing wrong with the card itself. It's setup correctly as far as I can tell and it used to work when I was using RedHat 8 and 9. But since I went to Fedora Core 1 I don't think it's ever worked properly. Anyone else using Fedora Core 1 and an X100P without issues? It behaves very strangely and has the same symptoms as setting it to ground start signalling instead of loop start on a loop start PSTN line. However it is definately set to fxsls and even fxsks has been tried. I've purchased another X100P just in case it IS a hardware issue. tia... -- Regards, Jamie Carl Chief 'Stuff' Officer J-Code International geek@j-code.net PH: +61414365466 IAXTel: 17004250969

Actually, I don't have a clue about what is the difference between them, so I just put there what the guide said. :) But my card sometimes gets crazy. It starts making a very loud noise, and only comes back to normal after reloading the wcfxo module. Other times it just locks up the line, and there's no way to dial in or out. Again, a module restart fixes the problem. What do you mean by "strange behaviour"? How do I know if I should set KS, GS, or LS? Marconi.

I'm using the Linux 2.6.8 kernel with the Gentoo distro. In theory, the Zaptel driver should work on any 2.4 through 2.6-based distro. I haven't tried 2.7.> > I ask because I have an X100P i'm still trying to get work properly and > I'm thinking there is nothing wrong with the card itself.

I'll be dumping it in favour of a Sipura SPA-3000 soon. I've never used Red Hat Fedora, so I can't comment on that. Perhaps you should try FC2 instead of FC1 or, even better, try Gentoo. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.biz _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/
