Back in October as mentioned inline, Sangoma donated a card for development
in the Astlinux environment...Does anyone know what came about with the
Sangoma/Astlinux Integration?

Barry (and others),

        As Darrick pointed out, Sangoma has an EXCELLENT software
installation 
and configuration mechanism.  It works perfectly on every machine, every 
Linux distro, etc that I have ever tried to run it on.  However, this 
comes at a sacrifice - it makes a lot of assumptions about the location 
of files on the system and was not designed to support cross compiling. 
  It is also quite large.  The Setup script is several thousand lines long.

        I have been able to get it to compile against recent versions of 
AstLinux.  However, my current solution requires a HUGE amount of 
patching.  Every time Sangoma releases a new version, which is often 
(that's a good thing), there is a good chance that I would have to 
rework significant portions of the patch.  This requires a lot of time, 
and I don't want to end up in a situation (like with mISDN lately) where 
it takes so much time it can't be done reliably from release to release. 
   mISDN was missing from a couple of releases, but now it is back. 
That is not acceptable to me and I want to work very hard to make sure 
something like that never happens again.

        As of yesterday, Sangoma has promised me a donation (presumably) for

working on this issue.  No bounty is necessary, and I won't take any 
donations from you guys for this.  Thank Sangoma for doing the right 
thing and supporting AstLinux directly!
