Good day, everyone! We (me and my friend) are developing very simple but very functional USB based FXS, FXO and Blue (cell phone channel) and possibly DECT dongles. At first idea was to make them compatible with Asterisk/Trixbox, but after talking to other potential users I realized that many of them would like to be able to use their existant Windows platforms - not like we don't want or don't like Linux based PBX (as matter of fact I as firmware developer don't care much which system will be used with proposed dongles). After looking around for possible solutions I run into your creation and after very brief look I liked it. Do you have well defined API (or are planning to have) to analog (not IP based) hardware? Our plan is to use composite USB device with Audio and HID descriptors. All our dongles will be presented via this interface. The question is that I would like to use more generalized logical API rather then expose hardware registers on a host driver level (like Zaptel/Dahdi does with Si3210 or Si3050 based FXO/FXS cards) including SPI and PCM configuration. Any suggestions? We are willing to contribute to FreeSwitch code base and make our dongles compatible with it. If you are interested then please reply to : zakharov@ca.inter.net On a side note - it's very hard to figure out if your development is "alive", even though I think I saw few files in the repository that were modified recently. How many people are behind the project? Best regards, Alexander
Gentlemen, Thank you for your interest in FreeSWITCH. I can assure you that this project is alive and well! Firstly I would recommend that you check this page: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/OpenZAP It describes the TDM abstraction library that FS uses to talk to various telco cards like those from Digium, Sangoma, PIKA, etc. Most likely this would be the place for you to start. You can also browse the code: http://fisheye.freeswitch.org/browse/OpenZAP The best thing to do would be to hop on the IRC channels and talk to those in the know: irc.freenode.net, #freeswitch, #openzap, and #freeswitch-dev MikeJ and anthm are the primary developers on this TDM abstraction layer but there are others who also can probably give you some direction. Please definitely review the OpenZAP information and then come join us on IRC for some questions, as I'm sure you'll have many.

Not sure where you are looking but have been working nonostop for 3 straight years. =D http://fisheye.freeswitch.org/browse/FreeSWITCH/src On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 3:06 PM, <zakharov@ca.inter.net> wrote:

I guess the AUTHOR's file and every source code file in the package is too obscure a place to look. :-)
