No, it's the device driver/API for telephony (Digium and Tormenta) cards, not NIC cards.
If you claimed that you made OpenBSD run asterisk, then that is something worthwhile to talk about.
It's not a claim, it's a fact. It's in the ports tree and it works.
But as I could see, your setup is making your machine connecting to some other machine elsewhere.
That's what most VOIP systems do. Would be pretty pointless if it didnt communicate with other VOIP systems.
Well, in my opinion it would be nice if one could put zaptel+libpri+asterisk under one box just as a typical pabx.
And indeed the *only* thing missing on OpenBSD is the ability to interface directly with an *existing* non-VOIP PBX or non-VOIP phones. You can design and implement a perfectly functioning VOIP PBX on OpenBSD as long as you don't need the OpenBSD box to interface directly with a traditional PBX or telephone.
FYI, I do not used softphones and I prefer hardphones.
It's of no relevance, both works with Asterisk (and SER) on OpenBSD. --- Lars Hansson
