asterisk users - Jan 2006 - iDEFISK (mac iax2 softphone) release

]
Hey ho,

A few days ago we released the linux version of the phone, today we are 
very happy to have the mac version ready for a little field test.
Freely downloadable from http://www.asteriskguru.com/tools/idefisk_mac.php

At the same time, we also put a newer version of the windows and linux 
versions online.

Let us know how you feel about it, a more mac look (brushed metal) is 
coming.

Please send us all problems you find, (support@asteriskguru.com), all 
stories about how it saved or ruined your life are also appreciated.

Cheers,

Zoa

I went looking for it and I will post my remarks ASAP. This message is,
however, for a loosely related reason: are you considering a port of
your softphone for the Palm platform?

Strangely enough I cannot find any kind of softphone for Palm OS.

Thank you and best regards

Aldo

I have no clue, at all, too....

So your plan makes sense (hoping you will go for that additional challenge!)..

Best regards

is there any chance of a FreeBSD port of idefisk ? more often than not, 
most of us in *BSD-land get left out in things like this. we'd be willing 
to help in the port wherever we can.

the "mapping stuff" doesnt always work the way you think it does.
while
most linux binaries seem ok when run under linux emulation on freebsd, some 
of them do crash for weird reasons. the linux flash plugins usually crash 
mozilla quite regularly on my notebook, for instance.

the three major bsd variants, netbsd, openbsd and freebsd, share enough 
similarities that porting such things is only needed once. porting between 
the three *BSD variants for userland applications is usually trivial.

are you running the linux mozilla?  That may be the problem where you
are trying to mix given that there is IPC stuff going on between flash
and mozilla..

Right why I said its more a matter of recompiling.  Even from linux to
BSD is generally trivial for most applications (some network stuff can
be a bit odd becuase the structure names in the include files can be
different why linux has __USE_BSD and __FAVOR_BSD to try to use the BSD
names in things like IP/UDP/TCP headers and all - not something most
programs do).
