asterisk users - Aug 2005 - Ztdummy or Zaptel card on production server

Hi there

 

I am currently using Asterisk with Meetme on a 2.4 linux kernel. I am using
Ztdummy with usb-uhci driver for timing. It seems to work ok, although I
haven't tried it with more than 5 users. However, I am now looking to move
into a production environment and some people have said that it is better to
have a Zaptel card. I would be installing Asterisk on a 2.6 linux kernel for
the production server, which wouldn't require usb-uhci if we were to go for
Ztdummy - but one person seemed to have found problems with this:
http://www.sineapps.com/print.php?rssid=731. Also, if I were to go for a
Zaptel card for timing, would pretty much any FXO card be suitable?

 

Any advice on what to do would be great.

We encountered the same issue and just ended up buying a simple TDM400P to
handle the timing.  Then again, that was some time ago, and we were never
able to get the timing on ztdummy to work well with the 2.6 kernel.   The
card was a minor investment for the amount of money we were saving by
avoiding a commercial solution (well over 10k).  

 

We are still looking for a way to build a method to do call-out conferencing
and build a web-based interface to it that uses the management port to
create/destroy conferences and set passwords.
