Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2004 6:08 pm Post subject: [Asterisk-bsd] Success Story
Had to build me a new box at home, and based on recent discussion here,
decided to give FreeBSD a shot. 5.3-BETA7 installed clean and easily
updated to 5.3-STABLE. The zaptel port installed without issue, and
asterisk CVS-HEAD also built without issues (after installing gmake and
bison). With just a few simple edits to the makefile and asterisk.conf, I
have the whole thing running in /usr/local.
My hardware is a generic X100P (intel winmodem), and a TDM400 with 3 FXS
ports. IAX2 works like a champ, I have no need for MOH or conferencing, so
didn't even try it.
Good job to everyone working on getting asterisk working on FreeBSD. I
can't wait for the T100P and eventually the T400P to be supported. I also
can't wait for the entire zaptel suite to be committed to the kernel.

You can't wait for GPL code in a BSD licensed kernel?

I wish I could say I had a success story. On my own away from work I
decided to setup Asterisk. Yes, of all things I decided to take my work
home... Here is my problem any ideas?
I'm trying to have * translate a call from one user to another using
different codec's.
It fails and terminates the call with error message saying: "no path from
G723 to G729". So basically, it isn't converting the codec's for the call
and
fails realizing it cannot do the translation.
Maybe I can report a success soon too.

Said somewhat less snarkily, what he means is that since the code in
question (the zaptel driver) is under the GPL, it can't be included in
any of the BSD kernels.
I agree, however, that it's still pretty cool. I'm currently working on
porting the ztdummy driver to NetBSD, and if I can get that working, the
zaptel and wcfxs drivers as well.

Your problem is that neither of those codecs are supported (well G.729
is but thats for Linux only). Try using something that is supported.

GPLed source for ext2fs is in /usr/src/sys/gnu in the FreeBSD kernel
source tree.

This is not going to happen. The licence cost for G723 is way out of
anybody's reach in the asterisk community.
So no legal codec will be produced until the patents run out.

There's already plenty of GPL code in the source tree, and I fully expect
that once the zaptel drivers are complete (stable and supporting all current
zaptel hardware), that it wouldn't take much to get it committed.

I think Chris Coleman @ BSDMall is trying to work with Digium to get G.729
for FreeBSD. Apparently, the problem is that the current code Digium uses
does some funky linux thing to pull the MAC address from eth0 to activate
the license, and they don't know how to do the same thing in FreeBSD.
If you'd like to see G.729 for FreeBSD, let Chris and Mark know.

that's excellent. is there a web page where we could register interest in
this ? i'd definitely like to see more freebsd support in asterisk.
