I sent this off to digium, but have received no reply yet. Unfortunately, my freepbx system is down now. This happened suddenly but sometime after thunderstorm.

I'm trying to determine if I have a hardware or software problem with the subject setup.

When I plug in the analog line, the card takes the line off-hook after about 10 seconds.

Some stats:

I had thought it was a kernel module problem after doing a module up date to the freepbx system. I got the latest libusb and zaptel sources and am trying to build it, but getting an error during the compile:

I've googled for these errors and have found many older references to a problem with spinlock.c in the kernel, but the changes have been made in the kernel sources.

The modules previously built appear to be loading: An lsmod reveals:
[root@phone zaptel-1.4.11]# lsmod

wctdm 32832 0

and the output of dmesg...

Any hints on whether this is a hardware or software problem?
