It is hard for us to examine a core file when we don't have exactly the
same version.

It would be better if you used a binary of our own[1] and preferrably
the latest upstream version 1.4.11 (i.e. packages >= 1:1.4.11~dfsg-1)

To a PSTN telephone through what?
zaptel? analog or ISDN? BRI or PRI? Which card exactly?

What version of zaptel are you using?
If this was an ISDN interface, what version of libpri are you using?

Please provide as much information as possible. Whatever you may think
that is important or unusual about your setup.

Unfortunately, it is working fine for me and for many others, so it is
something specific to your setup.

All in all, a proper core dump with a known version will help us most.

Thanks a lot,
Faidon

using etch, add
  deb http://pkg-voip.buildserver.net/debian etch main
to your /etc/apt/sources.list and install the package from there.
