1 Ugh. You're right. Yet another important piece of software I have
2 to manage without the convenience of Portage. :(

4 My TDM400, despite being very new, was affected by the bug that older
5 ones had in which they'd change their PCI ID sometimes after a power
6 cycle. I also had to modify the zaptel driver to support pulse dialing
7 (I have a collection of vintage phones). So I guess it's not really
8 that big of a deal.

10 One of these days I need to explore the possibility of getting
11 zaptel to decode coin tones (1700+2200Hz) so I can cancel my
12 (expensive) coin line and move my Western Electric 2C2 to
13 Asterisk. Coin relay control isn't a problem, so the only
14 remaining hurdle is the coin detection.
