Hi Matthew, thanks for your fast answering - I will try this. Anyway, can you recommend a linux distribution and maybe even a hardware environment where libss7 is known to run stable? Also using always the latest versions of the asterisk/zaptel branch seems to be a little unpredictable to me. Is it possible to run libss7 with one of the stable non-beta asterisk releases, lets say with the current 1.4.20 release?
