Ok, sorry for being so generic.

What I remember right now is:
- ISDN modems using the i4l interface (hisax driver) does not work at
all on debian release (you get an error like "can't open /dev/ttyI0")
- zaptel drivers and chan_zap gives some strange errors on TE405P cabled
to E1's and legacy PBX (I've not completely solved the problem, tough)
- Latest release has also licensed mp3 files for WaitOnHold that are
really useful
- something minor I don't remember right now, but that I'll check to
report you as soon as I solve all my remaining problems (mainly related
to tone detection on isdn channels)

Also there are some limitations on the startup script provided in
/etc/rc.d/ (I suppose it would be better another bug report for that).
The problems I remember are:
- "/etc/init.d/asterisk restart" does not work if asterisk is stopped
- "/etc/init.d/asterisk start" gives no (correct) feedback if asterisk
is unable to start

Thanks,
Alex
