The Zaptel drivers work on LinuxPPC. Further, there is some work in progress on Zaptel drivers for BSD and some folks use X100P and TDM400 on FreeBSD already. Since OSX is BSD based, it will eventually benefit from the work done to bring Zaptel to BSD. We have made an Xserve available for Rich Murphey, one of the main contributors to the Asterisk on BSD effort, specifically for him to test things on OSX. What's needed is more contributors to the BSD effort, or so it would seem. Since driver development requires skills that are less common than those required for many other development tasks, there are fewer people who can do it. It also takes more time to move drivers from one platform to another. I think a sponsorship fund could do some good because it might give somebody the ability to work fulltime on drivers for BSD in general and OSX in particular. I believe that it should be possible to raise significant sponsorship funds for drivers (especially for OSX) from end user donations alone. In order to do that, a few people need to come together, think about how to organise this, set up a website, open a kagi and/or paypal account and get the word out. I am discussing this idea at present with some Mac folks who seem to be willing to put a bit of time and effort into this.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] E3 PCI Cards
Another promising candidate is Apple's dual G5 (PPC970) Xserve (a 1U server). http://www.apple.com/xserve this one looks as if it might beat the price/performance ratio of a high end Intel server. The Apple G5 Xserv system has a "PCI-X" interface. Does anyone know what that is and will a T405P or T410P card work? Both systems run LinuxPPC. Does anyone have * running on PPC? Yeah, check out: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20MacOSX%20Support Specifically for OS X. There's a download link. The problem still is that no one has written ppc drivers for the Digium cards. As I understand, the only drivers are for GNU/Linux on i386.

If you look back at the archives, you will probably find discussion about that card has been here before. There isn't appropriate drivers in linux for telephony. You did mean a telephony interface since you are in asterisk, right? -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Any one out there seen anything beyound 4 T/E1's? John Todd and I had a discussion about that recently. We were looking at non x86 alternatives mainly because of IRQ issues but found that there should be gains in terms of performance as well. For example, we speculated that the new IBM eServer OP720 (a 4U server) should be able to handle more than a single T1, especially the 4 way model. http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/openpower/hardware/720.html Another promising candidate is Apple's dual G5 (PPC970) Xserve (a 1U server). http://www.apple.com/xserve this one looks as if it might beat the price/performance ratio of a high end Intel server. Both systems run LinuxPPC. We thought Apple and IBM should be eager to do some Asterisk load testing on their systems and that we would love to have the spare time to "put this idea into their heads" as John put it. rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

None currently, and it may be a while before it is wise to trust that many voice calls in and out of a single PC. You would do well to split it apart into single E1s and service that in a cluster of machines. Think about the upgrade headache of bringing down an entire E3 to upgrade code? At least in multiple E1 config, you can shutdown gracefully and let the calls go elsewhere while the current calls begin to fall of. Then you upgrade the individual machine and let it rejoing the cluster. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
