You will need to use ztdummy then. do a search on voip-info.org for more information on that.

As for using non-registered SIP trunks, take a look at this bug posting:

How to compile ztdummy
ztdummy is a Linux kernel module that will provide your Asterisk with a Zaptel timer even if you don't have any Digium hardware installed in your Linux server. The ztdummy module takes timing from the usb-uhci kernel module, which should be loaded before ztdummy. Note that usb-uhci must not be compiled into the kernel, it'll only work with ztdummy if loaded as a module! On kernel version 2.6 ztdummy uses internal high-resolution kernel timer and does not require any USB. Using the internal kernel timer is recommended.

General instructions for compiling all of the zaptel modules including ztdummy are here: Asterisk Zaptel Installation

Do you have the correct USB Controller?
If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel you will need a USB controller to use ztdummy.
There are two types of USB controller chips used on motherboards: USB OHCI and USB UHCI. To use ztdummy, you need an USB UHCI type controller on the motherboard, as the OHCI chips work very differently. If you do not have an appropriate USB controller as a timing source, then you should use Asterisk zaprtc. It was originally written by Klaus-Peter Junghanns and is distributed at http://www.junghanns.net/asterisk/.

To check if you have the usb_uhci module, do lsmod
Check out the zaptel module from the Asterisk CVS repository
Make sure you have the Linux Kernel source files installed
Edit the Makefile and remove the '#' in front of ztdummy in the top
Do a make all
Do make install
To load the ztdummy, do modprobe ztdummy

You will probably want to include 'modprobe ztdummy' in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local to make sure it is present at startup before Asterisk is launched.

Hi,

there is as such no requirement of zaptel card if you have ztdummy installed.for ztdummy to be activated after you untar the zaptel get into source directory open Make file and goto MODULE line and uncoment ztdummy.Remeber for using latest zaptel you need to upgrde your kernel ether from source or through rpm like kernel 2.6.17rpm and kernel-devel-2.6.17 rpm like that.Once do necessory changes in ztdummy make file

type these commands

make clean
make linux26
make install

now you set to go.This worked fine for me with fedora core5.
