DOes anyone have any good suggestions as to good SIP or IAX clients for linux? I have set up and am currently testing asterisk in a controlled environment. I have gnophone running on one of my boxes but the gnophone site has been down. So I can't seem to fing the IAX and Ix-devel rpms or the gsm and gsm-devel rpms. So that prevents me from setting up gnophone on another box. I am

In my musiconhold.conf file, in the classes section I uncommented default and loud. In my extensions.conf file I have a set musiconhold line.

I have an interesting problem now. I use asterisk to connect to both FWD and a sip provider here in sweden. suddenly, (i know my provider upgraded from a unknown SIP proxy to SER) Asterisk crashes when I try to make a call using this provider. FWD still works fine, and I can call directly towards the GW to POTS without any problems. But, as I call using my providers SER, Asterisk crashes.

Can anyone give me presise instructions on how to compile cdr_mysql.so? When I initially installed asterisk on the system, I didn't have mysql installed. Since then I have installed mysql, created the database and table structure for cdr_mysql and placed the appropriate settings in the cdr_mysql.conf file. However when I do a show modules at the CLI I cannot find cdr_mysql.so.

Can anyone provide me with a step by step on how to set up Windows Messenger on a Windows XP Pro box as a SIP client with asterisk?

Is there a way to configure voicemail to do reminder paging? I would like to configure some voicemail boxes to send an e-mail message to a pager every 10 minutes until the message is retrieved.

Greetings all, As most of you probably know from my previous questions on the list, I'm still in the newbie category. My question today is pretty brief, as I told you all a few weeks ago I ordered a PRI from Verizon. I understand that there is a "B" channel that comes with this. The question is just what can I use this "B" channel for and how??? Thanks AJ

In taking a cursory browse at Vonage's site today, I noticed they are now offering a soft phone. Has anyone had any experience using this? And does this possibly open new opportunities for using Vonage with Asterisk? Just thinking outloud on the list, soliciting thoughts and experiences from others. AJ

I know the recommendation it to not run more than 2 T/E100P's in a system but what about X100P's.. Usually there are 5 PCI slots in a system, has anyone tried 5 x X100P's in a system? Later.. -- ______________________________________________ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze

Hello all I just checked out the latest zaptel/zapata/libpri/asterisk/asterisk-addons from the cvs and ran through the entire make procedures. Everything seemed to go fine however now when I attempt to start asterisk, it says ok but it seems to be immediately crashing. The following messages are displayed in my /var/log/asterisk/messages file for the time right around the crash: Dec 29

In speaking to the representative at Verizon, we came to the conclusion that DID numbers were not the correct solution; however we were told by Verizon that they could do something called assign individual numbers to the PRI. What this would in effect do is give us an additional phone number that we would like to route to a specific extension; however unlike the DID number, it would not be

Hi guys, Having a bit of a problem trying to get conference bridges working.

Can anybody telling me what I'm doing wrong here?

Can anyone explain to me the difference in zaptel.conf and zapata.conf? I'm trying to get a real clear understanding of them but its getting a little murky in places. I will be setting up a PBX running asterisk with 2 T100P cards. I will be bringing a 23 channel PRI into one card and connecting the other card to a Nortell 24 channel FXS channel bank. As I understand it zapata.conf is

I would like to know how to define the s extension when I have an incoming PRI line? Currently I have 5 incoming DID numbers. Four of these DID numbers I have going to specific extensions, the fifth number which is the main number I wish to go to a background sound where callers can hear message, get directory, dial extension, whatever. I see that the way to normally do this would be to

Hello guys Is there anyway for me to change the sounds that are presented in VoicemailMain? For instance, instead of it saying "mailbox", I would like it to say something like "please enter your mailbox number now". Is there a way for me to do this? I also noticed that when in some of the menus, even if I select one of the announced options it simply repeats the same menu

Hi all, Is there any alternative hardware components for multi port FXO cards, other than Single and E1 or T1 level? For example 4 or 8 port FXO card is ideal. Also the price matters. Thanks!

We currently have a 15-phone system using Asterisk, a combination of analog phones/Grandstream HandyTone-286 and Grandstream BT101s, and 4 X100Ps connected to analog lines. The system works well except for the occasional echo problem. I have all the echo parameters configured, removed all the extra incoming analog lines except to the PBX, etc. following all the advice on the wiki and on the
