My pleasure ... Try and put what ever I can ... Thank you for all the help!!

I see there is a new kernel out for CentOS, so I would really like try
and see if there are any problems or if I might be able to provide
back some more positive feedback ...

I have two servers that I can test kmod-dahdi and one server with
kmod-misdn, which I will do during the next week.

I have had a problem with kmod-misdn v1.1.7.2 on another server, and
currently testing v1.1.9.2, but compiled from source, seeing that I
can't seem to get v1.1.9.2 into an rpm.  Seems the authors changed too
much and is beyond my skills fix and put into a rpm kmod. Could you
look at kmoding misdn for v1.1.9.2 and putting that into testing or
something?  Plus, I think that we should also package misdn utils ...

http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/5/current/SRPMS/mISDNuser-1.1.7.2-1_centos5.src.rpm
http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/5/current/SRPMS/mISDN-1.1.7.2-3_centos5.src.rpm

 Plus I wonder if it's not worth dumping to the latest release of these tools?

Thanks
