<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">So I hope you all will appreciate a little yelling and screaming!!!</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Here is what I did today..</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I took a brand new DN2800MT Atom MB. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">Added 2G of ram, and 60G SSD drive and put that in an M350 case. I then took the Debian *64bit* net install, the latest - 6.0.5 and I used a tool to put it on a USB stick. From there, I booted from the usb stick and I installed Debian. I had been to this point prior so I knew how to get here.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Next I knew I needed to get new drivers for the ALSA support. So I went to Realtek and downloaded their linux kernel modules.. Built and installed them - this meant I also had to put a development environment on the debian install through apt-get. Ok, so far so good.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I had seen this as my motivation to get this working on Debian… </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><A HREF="http://kriskirkland.com/?p=143"><SPAN LANG="en-us"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Calibri">http://kriskirkland.com/?p=143</FONT></U></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></A><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I took this install script and modified it a little. Also because I can't get to the dl.allstarlink.org site directly (DNS issues), I got the files I needed through my cell connection and used them locally.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">During the install, you build the entire source for everything. This was my first challenge, t</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">here were errors in the source that I had to fix. As it turns out, it was just include files that needed to be added due to the recent kernel that I'm running. I also had to fix the udev rules for zaptel, they were basically wrong for the version of udev that is running, nothing dramatic, just some "="'s that needed to be "==" due to a change in the udev syntax.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Next</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">I added the ixaRPT setup and rebooted.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> Wow, a clean reboot. Nothing wrong and everything seems to be working… I was using the allstarlink node list to determine if I was up or not and I've since found out that I've got one little issue to work through. On a reboot, the system is functional, but I don't show as registered in the list. If I manually stop and start asterisk, I show up correctly.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">So… Bottom line, I seem to be functional and on the allstar link network with node 28578 - now before you all start connecting to me… There are no radios attached just yet. :)</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">… I'm waiting on my URI's and I've got an RTCM setting here that I need to look at in the coming days.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">But thanks to everyone that helped with suggestions and ideas… And thanks to Bryan</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> Boyle for connecting to me and letting me know that audio was working both way, at least from my windows machine via the iaxRpt client… </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I also have the X-Lite client configured to connect to the sip.allstarlink site, but I don't know how to make PTT work with it :)</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">… I'll figure that out next.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Bottom line, a pristine Debian install, with a Debianish ACID like install, on a very late model Atom MB…. Most would say 3 strikes, but man does it feel good when it works!</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Ok, one quick question</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">… The *only * notice I get on bootup is something about </FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">a zap(tel) timer and using ztdummy instead…. Is that normal?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Alan</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
