Probably nice to have.


I was going to dedicate some time to try and see what adaptations are
needed to the Digium chan_zap and libpri in order to work with the
bristuffed Zaptel BRI drivers.

I started with the obvious changes: telling libpri to accept the type
"bri_cpe" and "bri_net" (though they are now simple aliases to "pri_cpe"
and "pri_net", repspectively), and setting the proper channel number for
the D channel.

Strangely enough, asterisk classic with those two fixes managed to work
with our quad-bri card. Thus seems too good and simple to be true. 

So other bristuffers in the crowd: could you please try a test build of
asterisk-classic with the patch zapbri.dpatch ? It should naturally
conflict with the real bristuff patch, so disable the setup and build of
the bristuffed copy.
