Miscelaneous

UNIX Users: Version 1.0.0 introduces Unix98 PTY support, so 'Legacy Character Devices' are no longer needed. Note that the labels used for the actual devices change because of this. For versions prior to 1.0.0 you will need a linux kernel that has support for 'Legacy Character Devices'. If you do not have '/dev/ttyx0', you will need to recompile your kernel with 'CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y', and 'CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256. The menuconfig section is 'Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Legacy (BSD) PTY Support'. This option is enabled in FC2 default kernels, but not in FC3 and FC4 default kernels. Click here for some more info as to how to recompile your Fedora/CentOS/RedHat kernel.

Windows Users: You need two COM ports connected via Null-modem cable to create one modem. Use Null-modem emulator for this.

You will need OPAL or H323plus or OpenH323.
