Hi all again, im writing an introductory report on trixbox. Does anybody know a good article on trixbox which covers the features and functionalities of its every component. Actually i dont want to install it and test the functionality of each component myself as the uninstallation of it is not simple. So if anybody knows about some good article(s) on trixbox, plz share. Thanx in advance. -- Regards Rizwan Hisham Software Engineer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nerd vittles has a lot on TrixBox and I think the wiki (www.voip-info.org) has exactly what you are looking for. Not to be a jerk but it sounds like you are not writing an introductory report on TrixBox, you are looking for a place to plagiarize, plus you are not even using tools such as google to help yourself. If you want a quality report, don't be lazy. Why not install it, setup a softphone, read the Wiki and Nerdvittles articles and then test the different functionalities yourself? You cannot trust much of what is on the Wiki due to old or inaccurate data. Thanks, Steve Totaro
Do a google on Nerd Vittles and Trixbox and you'll find a complete install and overview. But seriously how much research did you do before posting that here?

Then relate your experience in your own works. You might decide, as I did, to look elsewhere. joe

Sigh. Self reliance. What a concept. I found Trixbox (1.2) to be quite a frustration. Now, granted, I am quite green with asterisk, and only recently into Linux, but . . . it is billed as "up and running in 1 hour", etc. I even sprang (not too easy at my age, ya know) for a new tdm400p card, with two FXO and two FXS modules, to eliminate any hardware config/compatibility issues. It is supposed to automatically fill in the blanks if using Digium hardware. Or so I was told. In any event, I found it did "install" but did not seem to function properly. It did "see" the TDP400p, zttool (IIRC) said it was OK. But I'd had to manually fill in zaptel.conf. Easy enough, having "the book" to refer to. It did seem to work with SIP phones I was trying, which indicates that the asterisk part was working. The webish stuff seemed to work as well, (perhaps that's obvious) as I could configure the SIP parts and some other items that escape memory at the moment. It did not answer a PTSN incoming call, nor did it give any indication that it was aware of any activity. When I looked in logs, and rebooted, I could see that wcfxs was not loading, being missing in (in)action. Seems to me, that should have been there. Research (there's THAT word again) indicated I was going to have to compile zaptel stuff. OK, fine. Too bad the source was not there. Downloaded that, and attempted the steps shown in various places, only to find I needed "linux source" (I think it was, memory fails, early senility). Fearing for brain, (and blood pressure), while getting no support from various places, Digium included (get "our" software installed, then we can talk), and not seeing any response to my whines on the Trixbox forum, decided to quite while behind and take another tack. So, now I am struggling with a Suse SLES 9 install, that seems reluctant to co-operate. (needed libnewt, which needed python 2.4, which now broke red carpet . . .) But at least that's not billed as "for dummies". joea

I find that following the FreePBX install procedures for CentOS to be quite straight-forward. I have a bunch of Digium and Sangoma cards as well, all working too. My 2c, YMMV, etc. Avi -- National Manager - Special Projects < Sydney / Melbourne / Canberra / Hobart / London /> 2/340 Gore Street T: 1 3000 SQUIZ (77849) Fitzroy, VIC T: +61 (0) 3 9235 5400 3065 F: +61 (0) 3 9235 5444 W: http://www.squiz.net/ .....>> Open Source - Own it - Squiz.net ...../>
