Hi all,

i have found the two possible solution for doing RAS with Asterisk:

1) PPPD (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+PPPD)
I have downloaded the tgz proposed in the Wiki: app_pppd-060822.tgz
But it do not compiler under Asterisk 1.2.9.1-BRIstuffed-0.3.0-PRE-1q.

First this #if gave me an error
#if (ASTERISK_VERSION_NUM >= 010400)
#define ASTERISK_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE
#warning ASTERISK_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE defined
#endif

root at officepbx:/usr/src/app_pppd # make dep
rm -f .depend
touch .depend
for i in *.c; do gcc -g -Wall -O -D_ISOC99_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE
-I/usr/include -M $i ;done >> .depend
app_pppd.c:43:6: error: invalid digit "9" in octal constant

But since this is only an test for asterisk version, i my version seems
to fullfill the requirement, i just commented it out (only the diff, so
that the #define will be used!)

After this the
make dep
goes through, but make does not:

root at officepbx:/usr/src/app_pppd # make
gcc -c -g -Wall -O -D_ISOC99_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include -o
app_pppd.o app_pppd.c
app_pppd.c:45:2: warning: #warning ASTERISK_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE defined
app_pppd.c:827: error: conflicting types for ?unload_module?
/usr/include/asterisk/module.h:57: error: previous declaration of
?unload_module? was here
app_pppd.c:840: error: conflicting types for ?load_module?
/usr/include/asterisk/module.h:46: error: previous declaration of
?load_module? was here
app_pppd.c:848: error: conflicting types for ?description?
/usr/include/asterisk/module.h:75: error: previous declaration of
?description? was here
app_pppd.c:861: error: conflicting types for ?key?
/usr/include/asterisk/module.h:92: error: previous declaration of ?key?
was here
make: *** [app_pppd.o] Fehler 1

Does anyone know if app_pppd compile under Asterisk 1.2.9 ?

I think this solution is quite attractive, since no zaptel patching is
required ...

2) ZapRAS (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+ZapRAS)

Here one need to patch zaptel but the download link is broken:
ftp://ftp.digium.com/pub/zaptel/misc/

Furthermore a Howto this all the steps would be very nice.

For example the Wiki say this:
- You need to apply the PPPoE patch then the Zaptel patch.

Well, i have to work not very often with patch but i know that it
matters what options you have to supply and the location from there you
execute the command.

After studying the Wiki page it seems that the patches only affect the
ppp-package. Can someone explain to me why i have to re-compile zaptel?
Do i have to change something there too? Why re-compile asterisk? No
changes/patches in the asterisk source code are mentioned ...
app_zapras.c is part of the asterisk packages, it is compiled and the
.so file lies ready to use.

Do i miss something that makes these recompiling necessary?

After all the Link to the patches seems to be outdated:

ftp://ftp.digium.com/pub/zaptel/misc/ should be changed to
http://downloads.digium.com/pub/zaptel/misc/

I can do this myself the moment i got my password back for the Wiki

Thanks for any help/suggestions offered,

Tobias Wolf

Many people think ZapRAS is for modem dialin. None of the RAS stuff
support modems, as far as I know. The RAS stuff in Asterisk is for
networking via ISDN, rather than modem.

If you want to do RAS (modem or data) I would suggest going with a
Portmaster PM3(Livingston, then purchased by Lucent, They are reliable
and pretty cheap. You can use Asterisk to route the calls into it if you
use a two port card.
You can find them at www.portmasters.com
pm-3a-2t-r PM-3A-2T w/48 56k v.90 modems $395.00
$400.00 it will save you more in time and aggravation.
