On the other hand, chan_misdn was developed by the same guys who develop mISDN. Now they stopped working on chan_misdn and who is maintaining that code in the future? Hmm, nobody knows ;-) That's always the same story with open source... People want everything for free with great support and code maintenance. > If chan_lcr is something which could receive more support than > chan_misdn then maybe we should consider it. Let it say this way: chan_misdn does not work with the latest mISDN version which is V2. Probably chan_misdn will never work with V2 because no one is porting it. So it has to stick with V1 code of mISDN. The latest release here is 1.1.8. Do you believe that this code will be maintained in the future as there is already V2? I don't know... The ISDN protocol in general won't change probably, but kernel versions change and you have at least to adopt your structures to newer kernel versions. So in the future someone would have to touch the V1 code again to make it compatible with the latest kernel. Last but not least, kernel >= linux 2.6.27 includes mISDN V2 !! I think, that's the future and I don't think that chan_misdn is the future unless someone put either money on the table for the existing developers to port it or someone else feels smart enough to do the port as another open source project. cheers, Ingmar - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's not really correct. A channel driver does not care about hardware support. You have to check what is supported by the kernel drivers. You can compare what mISDN V1 supports versus V2. > Another note, it seems the lcr project is designed as a PBX, and the > chan_lcr code is meant to turn that PBX into a channel.

The only difference to a just a pure channel driver is that you have another daemon running, the lcr deamon which controls the signalling. http://listserv.isdn4linux.de/pipermail/isdn4linux/2008-July/003533.html http://listserv.isdn4linux.de/pipermail/isdn4linux/2008-July/003548.html Regarding CPU load -> feel free to test it, spend time and figure out yourself :-) regards, Ingmar - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

DAHDI support for ISDN/BRI would be great. No more worries about mISDN and such. But: do you think, that people start writing kernel drivers for various BRI cards or do you think, they will use mISDN V2 code from kernel >= 2.6.27 and just write an interface to that? Writing all drivers again from scratch for all available cards sounds like a nice task. > Which makes me think that maybe we should stick with chan_misdn for the > moment and then later move to native libpri/dahdi support once the > project moves to 1.6/trunk.

No I don't have another net4801. The problem now is: the box doesn't reboot itself. With 0.4.8 it rebooted.

Re: [Astlinux-users] genkd/genunion
Mart, Sorry, been busy. If you are using both an existing key disk AND created a new unionfs partition, you should see a script called 'movekd'. I created the script, but it has not been tested extensively. It does the following: Moves files from a key disk to a unionfs partition based on file system labels (it uses 'findfs LABEL=ASTURW' and 'findfs LABEL=ASTKD') then moves the data from the key disk to a directory on the unionfs partition. It then relabels the old key disk with a different file system label (OLDKD). After that's done, you should reboot immediately, if not sooner ;) After rebooting, you should be golden. However, if you just have the keydisk now, follow all of the instructions in the 'genunion' script. It will prompt you as follows after creating the unionfs file system: > echo "Filesystem Created. > > On new systems you can optionally use unionfs instead of they key disk. > > To create the appropriate file structure, type yes. > > If you have an existing key disk and want to migrate your key disk > settings to this new unionfs partition, execute movekd $DEV after > this script exits. > > To create a new key disk structure on your new unionfs partition, > type yes followed by the Enter key. Press any other key to exit. > > If you are new to Astlinux, you will want to say yes." If you have an existing keydisk answer NO then run movekd.

Re: [Astlinux-users] genkd/genunion
Unionfs turns the Astlinux RAM-based disk into one with persistent storage... anything that you write to the disk gets saved onto the CF card and "replaces" the version that is on the RAM disk. So all (yes every) configuration file will survive a reboot. If you use genunion, you no longer need the USB keydisk. Everything that was on the USB KD is now on the CF card (in the same file structure that it was on the KD). I believe that the genunion script includes instructions on where to copy your existing KD filed into the new unionfs partition so that you don't need to recreate everything. In general you wouldn't explicitly access the CF card by going to the CF card mount, rather you would access it through the normal filesystem... and unionfs would read/write from the CF (or the ramdisk) as necessary. However, if you want to see exactly what is on the CF card unionfs partition, then you can go to /oldroot/asturw and you will find it.

Not really. Your best bet is to use the net5501 and get one or the other (ISDN or analog) a mini-pci device. Otherwise, get the ISDN as pci and use an external ATA.

It is alot to take in initially, but it is doable. I don't know how much ISDN cards cost (is the card you have a single port?), but it may be quicker/cheaper/easier to buy a supported card. We try to support most hardware with Astlinux, but since none of the developers have this hardware, it's a little difficult for us to test it. If you do want to create a package in Astlinux, we'd be happy to answer some questions after you've dug into the development environment and have a basic understanding of how it operates.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Case for 2 PCI cards
I'm using a TDM400P and an OpenVox MiniPCI HFC ISDN card in an astlinux system (0.6) in a Net 5501. It works very well. I mounted the ISDN board with the connector on it upside down (with spacers) at the end of the TDM 400P. There is just enough room. I can send photos if you are interested.

[Astlinux-users] Fax detect/receive
I see that libtiff and spandsp packages are included in astlinux. Are the RxFax/TxFax functions and nv_background_detect functions also included? (see http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/AGX+Extra+Addons+for+Asterisk ) I'm bold enough to try and see if I can receive a fax over a VoIP line with AstLinux!

Re: [Astlinux-users] Fax detect/receive
You'd be better off using iaxmodem on another machine tied in with hylafax. Much more robust than rxfax. I have successfully sent and received faxes over IP through a TDM400p card to my Brother fax machine. Darrick David Kerr wrote: > I see that libtiff and spandsp packages are included in astlinux.
