Actually, it's been ported over to OpenBSD. It shouldn't be too much of a struggle to adapt Asterisk to FreeBSD, although I haven't tried yet. The real difficulty will be in porting the zaptel drivers over to FreeBSD. BTW, gastman currently compiles and runs on FreeBSD. I'd recommend GTK-2.0, however, over GTK-1.2, as the 1.2 stuff has some critical problems. -Tilghman _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
