asterisk users - Nov 2004 - FreeBSD asterisk and zaptel versions

Hello List,

I seem to have a reoccuring problem trying to find the right version
of the zaptel drivers to run with asterisk under FreeBSD.

I had been running asterisk-0.9 with zaptel 0.7 with no problems (both
built from FreeBSD ports). Yesterday I cvsup'd my ports tree and build
asterisk 1.0.1_1 and zaptel 0.8_1, which seemed to work except that
any attempt to play music on hold completely hangs to box.

I had a similar problem in the past with moh hanging the box, and it 
was apparently solved by finding the magic combination of the right
versions of asterisk and zaptel.

I've now built the latest version of asterisk against the latest
freebsd zaptel from cvs/svn, and still find the hanging problem with
moh enabled.

Can someone recommend a semi-recent combination of asterisk and zaptel
under FreeBSD that is know to work well? I'm running 5.2-RELEASE.

many thanks,
Richard

as has been discussed on the asterisk-bsd list, there could be some 
threading issues involved, though that would most likely be on 4-STABLE and 
not 5.x. have you checked if both zaptel.ko and ztdummy.ko are loaded ? MoH 
needs a timer and you'd either need ztdummy or a digium wildcard in the box 
for a timing source.
