Title: RE: [Asterisk-Users] yet another Asterisk and VMware question I did find this on the VMware wish list re Asterisk and PCI slots.

Vmware presents a complete Virtual PC, so unless EMC / Vmware release drivers to specifically connect the Virtual PC to the real PC hardware, you are in trouble. The do a pass-through w/ USB, Serial and Paralell, but those are a different story. > With a great amount of effort, I can drum up a spare machine, but I REALLY > don't want to do this and would much prefer the VMware setup.

I'm afraid that under any Virtual platform (CoLinux, Vmware, MS Virutal PC) you are SOL as far as real access to hardware on the host PCI bus w/out special drivers written specifically for that purpose. On the other hand, I'm sure that Vmware would be happy to help you out if you gave them a couple of million bucks! ;) -- Vice President of N2Net, a New Age Consulting Service, Inc.

[Asterisk-Users] yet another Asterisk and VMware question
I looked through this forum and other lists trying to get a definitive answer to the VMware question... I have a Windows 2003 Server box that is my development machine. It is fully loaded with many s/w packages, dev tools, etc. It's not very feasible to convert this box to Linux without losing an awful lot of stuff. On it, I'm running VMware GSX 3.1.0. Under VMware, I have a virtual machine running Red Hat Line Enterprise Server 3.0. Under this VM Linux I've installed, compiled, and configured all of the latest cvs Asterisk and associated software. This is a sandbox installation that I just want to test various features of Asterisk. It by no means is (or ever will be) a production machine. I've purchased a TDM11B card and have installed it in the box. Windows sees it as a PCI Simple Communications board. A Linux "lspci" doesn't show anything even vaguely resembling this card. This troubles me. When I do the "modprobe wctdm" (as prescribed in http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=configuration#TDM11B, I have all my conf files configured per this site), I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# modprobe zaptel [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# modprobe wctdm /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.ELsmp/misc/wctdm.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.ELsmp/misc/wctdm.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.ELsmp/misc/wctdm.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.ELsmp/misc/wctdm.o: wctdm failed Am I banging my head against at Windows/VMware/Linux/Asterisk incompatibility? Or can this work and I'm just doing something stupid (always a possibility with me). With a great amount of effort, I can drum up a spare machine, but I REALLY don't want to do this and would much prefer the VMware setup. Any advice will be welcomed.
