similar to: New Asterisk article on O'Reilly's onlamp.com

This was published on O'Reilly's site last week, but they didn't tell me until now. :) The article is pretty minimal, because I had a limited number of words to work with, so many features are not implemented. However, it's a good start. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/07/03/asterisk.html I had a few people review it beforehand, but I'd also welcome changes or

ONLamp.com has finally published part 2 of my Rails article! You can find it here: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/03/03/rails.html It would be really nice if we could get this slash dotted again before the weekend. >From what I understand, you''re more likely to get accepted when multiple people submit something. So, to anyone who has the inclination: if you would submit

I have installed Ruby on Rails and the latest version of MySQL in my Windows XP machine and I am following a demo from ONLamp.com <http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=3>. I am 3/5 down the page where it says: "Open a browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3000/recipe/new. You should see something like Figure 32." Instead of a page like Figure 32, I get

An article I wrote that provides a basic introduction to R has been published on Oreillynet.com. The article is titled "Analyzing Statistics with GNU/R". Here is the link: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/11/17/r_for_statistics.html Please feel free to post comments or interesting basic R scripts at the end of the article. Kevin Farnham

I really should be doing something better on this beautiful weekend, but I'm trying to save myself some time for later projects by documenting some things that have been particularly troublesome in the past. That being said... I've written up a configuration guide for the Cisco ATA-186, which describes some of the features that are possible to set in the ATA and specifically what

Bug in the register= code; see details below from the developer of "ser" (SIP Express Router) Apparently, ACKs don't need to be sent on OK's to REGISTERs. Plus, malformed data somewhere... no details on that, though. JT >Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2003 23:54:07 +0100 >To: John Todd <jtodd at loligo.com> >From: Jiri Kuthan <jiri at iptel.org> >Subject: Re:

Hello all - Second-to-last notice to collect RSVP's for interested parties for the Asterisk Birds of a Feather dinner/beer meeting. There are five people signed up for this at the moment. Looks like it's going to be the 23rd of September, since that fits well with the VON conference schedule. Please email me directly for details. JT >Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 01:52:52 -0700

Sipura does include STUN as an option. It has for quite some time. We are using it with all of our Sipuras behind NAT'd gateways and it works great! Try upgrading to the latest Sipura firmware rev.

John, I spoke with Level(3) last week regarding SIP termination. They quoted $0.01/minute, with an 11 Million Minute / Month minimum.

I'm wondering if there is any command-line interface available for working with values stored in astdb. Of course, I can run "asterisk -rx "database show" " or other commands like that, but I was hoping for a local command that would allow manipulation or output in some other form. Is astdb in a standard db format? JT

This is a fairly large list of hardware phones, features, and URLs, with some vendors I've never heard of before on it. I suspect that any phone that doesn't explicitly say "SIP" is an H.323 phone. http://www.tmcnet.com/it/0403/0403sg.htm#sidebar2 JT

I have several phones running Cisco's 6.0 SIP software release at this time. Two of the phones have not shown any abnormal behaviors, but one of them has an unsettling propensity to lock up after several hours, where the softkey labels disappear and the phone stops registering, requiring the standard *-6-settings reboot sequence. Otherwise, the phone seems to work OK except for a slight

This is not specifically Asterisk-related, but I think that sometimes a "pre-emptive" clue is a good thing. Viking Electronics (http://www.vikingelectronics.com/) has some neat widgets that attach to phone lines, which I'm sure many of the people on this list would find at least somewhat useful in conjunction with their Asterisk systems. Many of the widgets can be replaced with

I ran across this URL the other day: http://www.advancedvoip.com/ It seems that they have a low-priced solution for billing, which seems to have some interesting features (at least, via the canned demo they provide.) It handles CDRs and also (sorry, Jeremy) Radius, and seems to have a lot of features. I'll be calling them later today to discuss their product, if only out of curiosity

I've been involved with getting better data for running Asterisk on the Amazon EC2 cloud computing system. Here are some calculations I've made on costs based on current published prices on Amazon's system. Feel free to tell me that I'm wrong with these calculations - but be specific if you find any problems, as I suspect others may glom onto these figures as gospel and

Hey there, Just wanted to drop a line and let people know that I'll be heading to San Francisco for O'Reilly's Etel. If you are interested in attending, there are some free passes floating around.

Interesting notes on the 79xx series. The 7920 is the wireless phone; not mentioned here. For a more complete guide to Cisco's phones, see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_data_sheets_list.html The 7902 is the "very inexpensive" Cisco phone, and it looks like it will be SCCP (Skinny) only.

http://www.loligo.com/asterisk/misc/Presentations/Asterisk-features-20040106.xls I had been asked a while ago to put together a short Excel spreadsheet listing many of the "common" features of Asterisk as compared to a typical PBX. Many PBX vendors supply an exhaustive list of their features, and I figured I'd take as many of the unique features as others had offered, and put
