HI, I have been looked around, and found that ports/net/asterisk is a reasonable VoIP gateway software fully built on FreeBSD, but I did not successfully install it because the H232 libiary was failed to install. Then I found another one call AquaGatekeeper also fully written in FreeBSD, but it lacks of documentation, I even not really sure whether AquaGatekeeper is written for the purpose of VoIP gateway. Then I found a commercial software called MVTS , it has a version for FreeBSD, I've even install its demo version in the FreeBSD 5.2 Current, but haven't got a chance to paly around it. And I heard that MVTS can only be sold for Linux, what a disapointment. Can anyone suggest an alternative software that fully support FreeBSD system? I dont mind it is a commercial or opensource, as long as it is popular in the community. Your suggestion is very well appreciated. Thanks Sam

HI, I have been looked around, and found that ports/net/asterisk is a reasonable VoIP gateway software fully built on FreeBSD, but I did not successfully install it because the H232 libiary was failed to install. Asterisk is the best supported open source pbx that I know of. zapata port works in 5.2. What went wrong /w the H.323 build? Tom

I will see if I can download all the current   source from openh323 and make a custom compilation.... sam

HI, I have been looked around, and found that ports/net/asterisk is a reasonable VoIP gateway software fully built on FreeBSD, but I did not successfully install it because the H232 libiary was failed to install. Asterisk is really your best best. However the zaptel support on FreeBSD is really not there yet. At the end I put it on a Linux machine simply to get the zaptel hardware support (with a TDM04B card). Check the Asterisk wiki, there are some specific FreeBSD configuration you need to take into account otherwise asterisk will take 100% of the CPU time Jean-Yves
