        I don't see a lot about !FreeBSD on the asterisk-bsd list (apart from people replying saying "use freebsd" if someone tries to use something else). Nothing but a few requests for OpenBSD support on voip-info.

        Are you talking about a port attempt from 2005 which, according to the README, "For the most part, it doesn't work, and in some cases doesn't even build!"?

        Or the google code asterisk-bsd project, "Currently, there is no activity in this page or repository. All is inside the official FreeBSD ports."?

        Or gonzo's undocumented svn code, with no mention of OpenBSD in commit log or files?

        Unless you can show me something useful, you're just a damn troll.

        Dude, are you kidding me. Look who posted the comment. Stuart has to be one of the most thorough people in this community and has a great knowledge of asterisk. Just walk away. You cant win this argument.

          I don't follow the status of zaptel drivers, but I've known John Todd for 10 years (dating back to Digex/Skycache/Cidera days). He's a fan of OpenBSD and has been using VoIP since before it was VoIP. If anyone might know more about these technologies than our own Stuart, it would be him.

          I'll check with John when I see him online later and get clarification.

          P.S. Useless trivia knowledge: JT's license plate is OSIL4. Now *that* is geek. :)

            jdixon thanks, that would be interesting. It's not exactly "google it" though :)

        If so, please donate such hardware and some cash to the project. If you really need to speed things up, hire a developer full time!

          It doesn't work for me. It hangs on boot in legacy mode and it panics on raid mode. I have a FSC Celsius W360 workstation with the latest BIOS installed.

              Not yet. I try to figure out how to do it from install media prompt.

            of course it panics in raid mode. it is a bios assisted software raid. use ahci and life is good.

            I've got an ICH9R working just fine here in AHCI mode on 4.4. Be sure to turn off legacy USB support as well.

              Indeed dear sir, it does, thank you very much for pointing this out! I tried OpenBSD 4.4-stable today and it works wery well. So, my gues is that something wrong has happened with the ahci driver in -current. I think this is a issue that the developers should be aware of.

      Have you got it to build on OpenBSD?
