[asterisk-users] special characters in alphanumeric extensions
Hi all, I use alphanumeric names as extensions in my Asterisk architecture, which are the username part of the e-mail of each person at my site. Because Asterisk was primarily built to use numeric extensions, I'm having some problems with people that have usernames with dots between letters, like "john.doe". More specifically my problem is when john.doe dials some number. Asterisk doesn't match his rule in extensions.conf. I have in that file the following line: exten => _[0-9]./john.doe,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@did0,60) When that user dials some number, Asterisk never matches his rule. This only happens because dots are special parameters for Asterisk. I've tried to put a slash "\" before the dot, but nothing happens!... Any suggestion? Thanks in advance, Ricardo.
Hi, I am trying to decide which BRI card to buy and am looking at the B410P. I have the following questions and hope that you guys can give me some advice. 1) Anyone uses the B410P with Asterisk with good or bad comment? And how does the B410P compared to the others like the AVM or the Beronet. 2) I think the B410P is using the mISDN driver. I also read that the mISDN driver will have problem with SMP kernel, so if I want to use the B410P, I should not get any duo core CPU with the computer, right? Also, if this is true, maybe I will be better off with a card that uses the CAPI driver like the AVM? 3) The installation guide on digium http://kb.digium.com/entry/55/131/ says that I need at least Linux kernel 2.6.15. Does this mean that CentOS 4.4 is not compatible with it? Thanks in advance!! Best Regards, King
