Hi Scott, Asterisk is the way to go. There are two BRI cards approved and available in .au that work with Asterisk. The Fritz PCI card at around $350, or a NETjet PCI card at about half the price. To be honest the Fritz driver has better echo cancellation at the moment but I'm working on this.

I think your problem might be with the SCO binaries rather than a kernel problem, I could be possible that the version of Libc you are running to compile 2.4.20-13 could have conflicts with the libraries required for SCO. The best way to fix the problem is kill SCO binaries. ;-) -Original
