[App_rpt-users] Zaptel & newer Kernels.

[Ken Page]

Hi Guys,

Well another week rolls by and although the Asterisk is running here the 
TDM card and all DMK URI interfaces still remain offline basically 
making us uncontactable this end.

I am wondering if there are any plans to update Zaptel to work with the 
newer kernels that don't have the IOCTL stuff?

Or perhaps fix the Dahdi bugs?
