http://packages.debian.org/asterisk (Hey, Etch is out! "oldstable" no longer has Asterisk 0.1 ;-) As you can see, there is 1.2.16 (and soon 1.2.17, I've already asked to upload it) in Sid, and 1.4.2 in Experimental . Etch has 1.2.13 . Alternatively, try: deb http://updates.xorcom.com/rapid etch main which has some backports of Sid packages. > > 2) Do I have to configure a dummy PSTN interface in my case ?? You need the zaptel module ztdummy. As you just need ztdummy and not a real zaptel, there's really no reason to use latest&greatest bleeding-edge zaptel. If you added my packages source from above: apt-get install zaptel zaptel-modules-`uname -r` /etc/init.d/zaptel start If you have just the standard Etch sources, the procedure is a bit more complicated, because you have to generate the package zaptel-modules for your kernel: apt-get install zaptel zaptel-source build-essential # maybe you need to also explicitly install linux-headers-`uname -r` # to build and install the zaptel-modules package for your kernel: # (Will probably fetch the proper linux-headers package as well) m-a a-i zaptel /etc/init.d/zaptel start In both cases You should get an error from ztcfg because there's no zaptel.conf, but just ignore it, as you don't need ztcfg for ztdummy. To make that error disappear you can run: touch /etc/zaptel.conf > > And if you have a debian-asterisk howto, I really thank you. As usual with Debian, start from /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/README.Debian . Two other potentially-useuful packages in our repository: freepbx # though still a bit broken. maybe try # 'freepbx-common freepbx-modules' asterisk-config-simple Maybe they'll also help you getting started. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
