I'm looking for the best version of the Zaptel drivers to use for a FreeBSD 5.4 box.

Specifically the current ports tree drivers (0.10_1) have problems with the FXS board on my TDM411B.

The choices I appear to have are:
Port (0.10_1)
SVN Trunk
   (or nightly snapshot)
SVN 4.x branch
( which seems to have a snapshot at http://portaone.com/~gonzo/zaptel-freebsd-0.11.tar.gz that I found by mistake when trying to compile the svn head as a port!)

I would have expected the SVN trunk to be the one, except that there appears to be a changelog entry:

"12/10/2005 Alexander Timoshenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    o Fixed problem with panic on -current and 6.X"

which appears in the Changelog of the 4.X branch and _not_ in the trunk Changelog. ???

Let me clarify things a bit. There was an ugly hack called zt_clone in order to support multiple device instances for single device node(linux kernel behaviour). It caused kernel panic on 6.X and -CURRENT so i've cleaned things out and rewrite it using FreeBSD cloning API. Unfortunately it relies on devfs and there is no defvs (at least functionaity i need) in 4.X AFAIK. So to keep FreeBSD 4.X supported this 4.x-branch has been created. But some time ago i've got workaround for all systems from Roman Kurakin, so i've commited it to 4.x-branch it is not in trunk because trunk does not cause kernel panic on 6 or -current.

I'm not familiar enough with SVN to be able to work out what is in each change, unfortunately.

PS - any chance of updating the port to a SVN snapshot that contains the fix for the "ProSLIC 3210 version 2 is too old", since it seems to be a fairly common problem looking at the list archives and Google.

I've send update to Maxim Sobolev and waiting for him to commit the new version of port. 0.11 will be snapshot from 4.x-branch. It will be last update with hack i've mentioned above because this version is known to work (somewhat :)) and trunk code has not been tested fine yet.
