I looked at the log file and there was no commit on this recently. It
seems that if this change has been made, it's just not in CVS yet :)
Looking forward to trying it though...

Yes. I followed the instructions on the Digium download page, namely:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/cvsroot
cvs login [password anoncvs]
cvs checkout zaptel libpri asterisk 
cvs logout

cd zaptel
make clean ; make install
cd ../libpri
make clean ; make install
cd ../asterisk
make clean ; make install

The zaptel compilation was fine and resultant wcfxo module size is
different to the previous one so I assume it is OK.

That's encouraging news.

"modprobe wcfxo opermode=1" was rejected with the following error:

/lib/modules/2.4.20/misc/wcfxo.o: invalid parameter parm_opermode
/lib/modules/2.4.20/misc/wcfxo.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/misc/wcfxo.o failed

I couldn't find "opermode" mentioned anywhere in the source tree either.

I'm in Paris right now and can't test this change, but I've been
researching the DAA and there are a few international settings I can
change, so I've changed the driver in CVS so that you can specify
the operational mode.  Try "modprobe wcfxo opermode=1" if you're in most
of Europe and that should switch to CTR21 mode which slightly modifies a
few of the electrical characteristics of the DAA.

As we add modes you'll be able to see them with "modprobe wcfxo
opermode=-1" and then doing a dmesg.

Anyway all you folks that had some trouble like this try it out and let me
know if it makes any difference.

That is very interesting. I have assumed that it is hardware related. Our
X100P is currently plugged into a POTS port of an ISDN TA and that seems
to have overcome the line test problem. However, we really would liek it
to be on a PSTN line.

I am not in the UK, but I am having a similar issue with X100P and the
on-hook impedance (I guess that is what is causing the problem) -- here is
the description of what I am getting:
I have glommed asterisk on top of an existing old PBX (AT&T Spirit
1224/2448). The PBX has two analog ports for analog devices such as
modems/fax/speakerphones, etc. I have tried to connect the X100P's to
these ports, but the PBX detects the lines as in-use, though they are
actually on hook, and will not allow them to ring in or be picked up for
call-outs from attached phones.
I do not think it is necessarily a hardware issue, as the line-in-use
lights do not light until the wcfxo kernel module is loaded. It would be
very nice for asterisk to be able to share these lines via the PBX..
