Dear list, I have been using asterisk for some time now. However I have never used it with any of the digium or compatable cards (Purely used for SIP). I understand that for using Meetme, I need to have a timing device, which could either be hardware or zrdummy etc (I am not using any right now). Can someone tell me if the timing device is needed for voicemail and other applications too?. I am currently using voicemail, however at times the sound gets choppy and when I log on to the cli I see lots of "event scheduled in the past" warnings. I am using a fairly high speced machine (Athlon 64 3Ghz with 1GB RAM ...) so I can't imagine the system is being starved of CPU resource (Top shows the CPU idle rarely fallng below 90%) Currently I am not running stable versoin, rather a farely old cvs version (these are production units so hard to upgrade without a lot of effort), I do plan to upgrade to stable version as soon as possible, however would like some advice as to the best way to improve things and eliminate the choppyness and the warnings. Thanks Umar
Hi,> Can someone tell me if the timing device is needed for voicemail and > other applications too?.i'm sure that searching on google and/or voip-info.org can lead to an answer. btw, the answer is no. only meetme and iax truking needs a timing device. -- Matteo Brancaleoni System Administrator Tel +39.02.70633354 Sip matteo@sip.voismart.it Iax2 matteo@iax.voismart.it ****************************************** Visit us at CeBIT 2005 - Hall 13,Booth D51 ******************************************

There might be others I've missed, but Voicemail is not one of them. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.biz _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/
