Does anyone know if the Page dialplan command still requires DAHDI (software, not hardware) for timing? Various online resources say it does, but it’s hard to tell whether they’re outdated. Thanks in advance.

Page was moved to using ConfBridge underneath in 2012. If ConfBridge works, then Page will work.

Thank you Joshua. We’ve been using ConfBridge for a long time, but kept installing DAHDI in the belief that it was required for Page. Glad I asked!
