Had the same problem with Gentoo. Does Ubuntu have a compatibility package for dealing for things written to run on redhat systems?

It's not often that someone points out what's wrong and provides a solution for it! Our module is such a tiny portion of our codebase that it doesn't get quite the attention it deserves and we'll consider GPL'ing it so customers like you can contribute changes. In addition, we'll integrate fixes to address most of the issues you've listed in the next release. The module was intended for less technically-inclined users who may have trouble getting their PBX setup right. In our experience, customers who have the knowledge to write the module themselves usually have no problem cutting and pasting a few configuration settings. :) Thanks again for your feedback and don't hesitate to contact our customer support team for any further questions or configuration help if you change your mind about using our service in the future.
