I would like to echo the sentiment of a recent previous poster that this
list is named 'asterisk-bsd' and not 'asterisk-freebsd'; I am disappointed
for the lack of participation by openbsd developers and saddened by
lack of interest when I tried (some years ago) to mount a porting effort
for the IXJ driver (or any analog station hardware driver).
zaptel support is hampered by the architectural choices - the kernel
parts aren't just simple device drivers, which could be included (a bit)
more easily, but they deal with various non-hardware-specific things,
e.g. echo cancellation and application-specific timers, which I don't
think really belong in the kernel. I haven't heard any claims of
code audit for zaptel and it doesn't exactly make for easy reading,
I'm quite happy that I don't need it very often.
I'm not familiar with the quicknet devices (and they doesn't seem to
be too widely available now unless I'm mistaken?) - they look like they
would probably be an easier target, but still a lot of work (and I've
got a feeling people would just whine for zaptel if that went in).
Someone should build some nice cheap USB FXO/FXS devices, ideally
with (at least the option of) built-in G.729, and a chan_* driver
using libusb for portability. Then put a bunch together in 1U 19"
cases for the 'business edition' :-)
Hmm, or even something as simple as an iaxy with some half-decent
usb<>ethernet in front (the realtek ones are ok), all powered from
USB to avoid the horrible mess of cables ...

With the lack of telephony hardware support for obsd, and poor
support for the IXJ driver in freebsd, I was forced to run linux.
Where I can't use the OS I'd prefer to use for an application,
if I can't find an alternative app I'll try and use some OS close
to that used by the app's developers in the hope of it reducing
the chance of incompatibility.
