Hello, Steve!

ztdummy was only used for timing. Linux 2.6 provides this function in
the kernel and I assume Solaris already has timing functions there.
Page 36 of Asterisk: The Future Of Telephony
(O'Reilly Press) states that you either require a
Digium PCI card to provide clocking, or ztdummy
if you "lack the PCI hardware required to provide
timing". It goes on to mention that a UHCI USB
controller was required pre-2.6 but now that
there's a 1kHz clocking source in the kernel,
ztdummy will attach to that instead, thus
eliminating the requirement for the UHCI USB controller.
While it doesn't explicity say so, it seems to
very strongly imply that either a PCI card or
ztdummy are *required* for some Asterisk
functionality (namely music-on-hold and
conferencing, apparently). Is this actually not the case?
OK, that's not what I inferred - but you could be right?
Is there a definative answer on this, or I'll have to go and re-install
a test system ;)

When I try to start a meetme conference on an Asterisk system without
TDM hardware or ztdummy loaded, Allison pleasantly tells me " That is
not a valid conference....".
