asterisk users - Dec 2007 - Installing/configuring TE120P debian way

Hi all

I use asterisk (1.2 brach) from debian official packages and it works fine.

Now I need to install and configure a Digium TE120P card, but I cannot
find any guide to install it using debian packages.

I would like to know if anyone of you knows about packages that would
include the necessary kernel modules or any other method that won't be
broken when the asterisk packages are updated.

Would anyone consider just install everything from source (branch 1.4)
as the best option? I would like to keep an easy upgradeable system
like Debian packages, but could use source code if necessary.

Cheers,

AFAIK those cards are not supported in the version of Zaptel in Etch.
So you basically need a newer zaptel .

Last time I tried the same zaptel 1.4 worked with recent asterisk 1.2,
but I'm not sure about asterisk 1.2.13 .

Etch backports of both zaptel *and* asterisk are available at
http://pkg-voip.buildserver.net/ or from http://updates.xorcom.com/rapid
. The latter updates less frequently and is far less complete. But
includes pre-built zaptel-modules packages for etch kernels (to save you
'm-a a-i zaptel').
