Hello!
I've been playing with two pieces of hardware: a X100P and a TDM400P with an FXO and two FXS modules. I had been using just the TDM card; however, the TDM FXO module seems to hear things and "answer" the telephone for no reason, and I wanted to compare the results with an X100P card.
If you want further details, I can give them to you, but suffice it to say that trying to work with both cards and both modules has been incredibly frustrating. Modules that won't load, or that load but don't work when you run Asterisk, or Asterisk segfaulting even though the modules *seem* to load properly...
Am I the only person who finds the combination of seeminly awkward separation between modules, duplicated information (between zaptel.conf and zapata.conf), strange interactions and limitations between different modules for what would seem to be very similar hardware? This is not a rhetorical question, nor is it a shot at the developers. I'm really asking two things: am I alone in this? Or are my expectations too high?
I would be thrilled to give you whatever information you might desire if you're interested in seeing what I'm talking about. I'm using a dirt-simple configuration: basically four-line configuration files, just the minimum necessary to make the hardware work. Even these configurations cause a dizzying variety of issues...
Again, I'm not trying to blast anyone. I just wonder what I can do to improve my success! :) Mostly, I would like to hear how others are fairing, particularly with a variety of analog devices. Am I alone?
Thank you,
Tim Massey
