That's what I thought but it's better to ask as I don't feel so easy to read
source code at the moment.

I agree with Tzafir, I'm not aware of zaptel support for HFC-USB; I 
checked bristuff, it doesn't support it.

Just to clarify: Our device does not use the HFC-USB chip. I'm indeed
not aware of any zaptel driver for such a device.

Would be interesting to see one.

Do you think it could work with a Bewan Gazel 128 USB ?
I could get a hand on one and before diving into it, I would be very curious
to get your opinion on it.

I read carefully the thread you pointed me to and specifically I read :
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2008-March/032164.html

>From it, I understood Bristuff's zaphfc was key for that.
I'm not aware of any zaptel driver for such HFC USB modem (some Xorcom's
products use USB, so ...) so I'm inclined to think it's not possible but
it's better to ask ...

Zaptel also has always supported digital (PRI) cards from Digium.

Though I don't have experience with this setting and other BRI cards at 
the moment, I believe B410P is supported, as well as other cards 
supported by bristuff.

I took a look at :
http://svn.digium.com/view/libpri/trunk/

Though BRI support is mentioned several times but I couldn't find any
supported hardware list.
I'll open a new thread on this last and specific point.

One last question Jean-Denis, when you wrote your "system has been
running fine for nearly a month with libpri-trunk, asterisk-1.6.0,
zaptel-1.4 (patched) and zaphfc", does zaptel-1.4 (patched) also relates to
BRI support ?
I thought that (without bristuff) zaptel was dedicated to analog lines.
Did you have to install zaptel for BRI support ?

This is a basic BRI card with HFC chipset (Bewan Gazel 128)

Development version of libpri (libpri-trunk) does include prliminary 
support for BRI.

I can't speak for Digium !

That is the thread I was thinking about and that I'm not exactly sure to
understand.

I'm not sure about the B410, but my home asterisk system has been

Would you mind if I asked you this :
- Which card did you include in your home system ? Are you using an ISDN BRI
access ?
- Is libpri necessary for ISDN BRI access ? I thought libpri was mostly
dedicated to E1/T1 access

Quoting previously mentioned thread :

Actually...

It'll probably work.  I have tested making basic phone calls, etc over
it, although I'm still tweaking it and making sure that the Q.921 layer
is more likely to pass testing.  Of course, YMMV.  I certainly don't
mind testers though trying it out and reporting issues that they find
with it.  That would help me out a lot.  You'll have to update your
libpri to trunk for it to work though.  That's where all the BRI
development is happening.  And NT-PTMP is not going to work, only NT/TE
PTP and TE PTMP.

If positive, which cards will be supported and with which feature set ?

Thanks

I have the following error in system logs, but it seems harmless.

You should have a look at this thread:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2008-March/032142.html

I'm not sure about the B410, but my home asterisk system has been 
running fine for nearly a month with libpri-trunk, asterisk-1.6.0, 
zaptel-1.4 (patched) and zaphfc.

I have the following error in system logs, but it seems harmless.
Apr  1 09:16:59 tiare kernel: zaphfc: dropped audio (z1=6992, z2=6958, 
wanted 8 got 34, dropped 26).

Quality is great (no echo).
