      Anyone has a port of zaptel driver for FreeBSD-8.1? I'd like to use a X100P FXO PCI card on my pfSense box, but it's not even listed in dmesg…

        I don't think pfsense is the right place for a voip boad. The idea of this package was to be usefull as a sip gateway/firewall.

        I fully agree, but I'm not sure that Asterisk is the right software to use on a SIP gateway/proxy.

        Have a look at:

            That depends on the requirements. In many cases a SIP proxy is just not enough, for example when you need to select between multiple providers based on callee destinations (to select cheapest of them). Or when you need Music on Hold while transferring a call from one handset to another.

              I was mostly referring to pfsense being a security device (rather than a full blown VoIP pbx, Squid proxy server, NFS/SMB server etc), and so some sort of session-border-controller software (i.e. SIP L7 inspection/filtering) would be the most appropriate to use on pfsense itself …

              Otherwise, I'm sure Asterisk or FreeSWITCH can probably both work fine on it.

                Since i moved asterisk on my pf-sense box, i have better quality with my calls, i don't know if it's due to move from asterisk 1.6 to 1.8 or move to my pf-sense box. Maybe the few milliseconds gain are sufficient to have better quality? or less nat traffic (udp 5060 no more redirected to another server)?
                So i'm very pleased with this solution!
                i still have work on the subject : save my logs from time to time because i'm on embedded pf-sense. (Yesterday i was with a uptime of +5 weeks, and a short of electric power make me loose all my calls history…)

                And now i have gone to read the opentelecoms site : i want to test sip proxy!

                    Appears to be here:
                    http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/freebsd/trunk/drivers/dahdi/

                    Unfortunately the project to port DAHDI to FreeBSD was completed in Oct 2010, after the 8.1 release so it is not in the 8.1 ports tree. You could try the version from 8-stable but it's a complex package so the chances of it working seem quite small. Backup everything first because you'll probably cause all sort of problems! ;)

                    
                    pkg_add -r ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/mirror/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest/dahdi.tbz
                    

                    When you say 'not even listed in dmesg' are you saying it doesn't even appear as a 'none' device? (one that has no driver attached)

                        Configure on service at once. siproxy, freeswitch and asterisk will try to bind on the same port.

                          Marcelo,

                          In order to edit a configuration file do we start with the xyz.conf-dist files and write to xyz.conf files?
                            How do you want or envision configuration to be done?

                            Current package helps only on installing and monitoring only, a future release will include asterisk-gui.

                            Edit/rename config files using console, filer package or scp for example.

                            att,

                              For those who is following this thread, I've submitted asterisk-gui to freebsd ports. Since it's approved, I can add it to this package.

                                Guys thanks for the awesome work!

                                I've a pfsense 2.01 on a nanobsd platform running asterisk package successfully.

                                While I've the voicemail for only one extension configured, I wanna integrate it with my google IMAP account.

                                I was reading details on howto here http://www.asteriskdocs.org/en/3rd_Edition/asterisk-book-html-chunk/voicemail_IMAP_integration.html

                                I've configured voicemail.conf successfully and module reload app_voicemail.so does not give me any errors but I still dont see any voice mails coming up on my IMAP. I'm wondering if the IMAP toolkit was compiled into this built of asterisk. Being a no-pro, any heads up on how to check and proceed would be appreciable.

                                  Hi all,

                                  1st post on this forum, so this may not be the place, but thanks so marcelloc for his hard work and tireless support.
                                  I've been using pfSense for about a year now, and have discovered "real" network administration, it has opened up for me many possibilities for me, learning and achieving so much I can't ever be so thankful !

                                  Anyway, here is my problem with this module today:
                                  Since GUI upgrade to 2.0.2, service fails to start:

                                  
                                  Dec 22 12:06:03 	root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk: WARNING: failed to start asterisk
                                  Dec 22 12:06:01 	php: /status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'Stopping asterisk /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libssl.so.6: unsupported file layout'
                                  
                                  

                                  Any ideas ?
                                  Thanks !

                                    In most cases it means wrong arch on libs, for example, amd64 libs on a i386 system.

                                    Did you upgraded i386 to amd64???

                                      Thanks for your prompt reply.
                                      Ah, that may well be the case !
                                      Would uninstalling the module and reinstalling correct this, or may I run into other bugs doing so ?

                                        Are you doing it with pkg_add on console/ssh?

                                          I usually do 99% through the GUI. BTW, I'm using full install, if that helps.
                                          I now remember I had to use i386 installing 2.0.1, as I had found incompatibilities with my motherboard at install (intel D2500cc), VGA problems were worse on x64. Maybe I should have used a serial setup, but am really not familiar with that.

                                          I'm just going to uninstall reinstall the package through GUI, see if that helps, and report here. If it breaks, I'll try to reinstall 2.0.2 i386 and load previous configuration.

                                            A simple uninstall / install from GUI fixed it.
                                            Sorry for the trouble, I should have tried that right away.

                                            Thanks again for your contributions to the project, they're priceless !
