Yeah, there is a lot of work going into asterisk on BSD, unfortunately, this is only half the battle. The hardware drivers are the biggest thing that needs to get done. For the time being, I'm running asterisk on Gentoo Linux, which is still a far cry from BSD, but makes Linux bearable. Definitely worth a look for those of you who wish to get VOIP working. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks http://www.psknet.com 866.477.5638 > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Michael C.
