I actually meant to go back and insert the word "properly" between  
work and in, got distracted by my daughter, and forgot.  I don't have  
any asterisk instances running without a timing source, so none of my  
attempts at OpebnVZ would work.  If you don't need the zaptel modules  
or ztdummy for timing, there's probably no reason it wouldn't work.   
But that also means no call waiting, no putting calls on hold, no  
channels or spans...  honestly, it leaves you with a pretty limited  
system in my opinion.  If all you need is the ability to place a call,  
though, it's fine.
