asterisk users - Jul 2004 - [OT] The stories people tell to support.

This one is for the archives.

I got a call today that the * at one of my clients was not working.  The
switchboard is set up to ring for a while and then the rest of the
phones start up if the switchboard doesn't pick up. This was not
happening.  Instead the mobile phone of one of the people there was
ringing and after the delay the internals started ringing.

When I connected to the web interface of the SNOM 200 I found the
redirection set to always and the number of the mobile proceeded by the
0 to dial out as the destination. Apparently this is a bug with the SNOM
200.  If you move it 30cm., they didn't say in which direction, it
automatically chooses a phone number and sets up the redirection.

It's not 1st April is it?

You obviously didn't read the EULA...it says that they can install 
software on your phone or redirect it to numbers they have sniffed 
off your network.

Luckily, this only happens between 3:45pm and 3:46pm on the 32nd day 
of the month.  And only every third month.

This feature is called ALWANCAS (annoying lusers who are never clear 
about stuff)

I think that is also an ID ten T problem.

I have a cisco 7960G and would like to run in on asterisk I have an issue
though for some reason it has a problem running thru NAT

Any assistance would be great!

Note that you posted your question as a reply to another thread. This
action alone is enough to have your post ignored by a marjoity of the
list. Try composing a new message (yes, type or copy the list address
rather than using reply and cutting out the text) with an appropriate
subject line. Also mention some details about your setup and what you have
already attempted in trying to get the phone working. But before doing any
of this, check the wiki www.voip-info.org and google in general.

Maybe Jeremy was trying to give us an example of the sort of stories 
people tell to support?
:)

One thing I have learned is to document the questions, so people can 
help sooner, etc, ah, and also not to hijack threads.. I did it one 
too.. oops

How about top posting and improper editing?
