, as it seems to be running Asterisk-11. =A0I've previously installed Asterisk-11+FreePBX in a VM, and this appears to be very similar. =A0Is there any upside to using AsteriskNOW vs. Asterisk+FreePBX? Other than the obvious fact that everything is nicely placed on an iso for ease of installation?<br> <br> As for the actual upgrade, is it possible to step through each of the UPGRADE*.txt files under the Asterisk-11 source? =A0I.e, UPGRADE-1.2.txt -> UPGRADE-1.4.txt -> UPGRADE-1.6.txt -> UPGRADE-1.8.txt -> UPGRADE.txt? Or would it be prudent to recreate my current 1.0.x configuration under Asterisk-11 instead?<br> <br> Regarding HA/failover, is a hardware solution (such as Digium's R800/R850) my only option? =A0During my research I've found scripts on the internet that allow for failover using arp/nmap, however those appear to only work for hardware failures. =A0I would need something that can account for both hardware and software failures.<br> <br> Thanks in advance for any advice that anyone can give on the subject. =A0Any suggestions, etc. would help immensely!<br> <br> -- <br> Andre Goree<br> -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-<br> Email =A0 =A0 - <a href=3D"mailto:andre at drenet.net" target=3D"_blank">andre@drenet.net</a><br> Website =A0 - <a href=3D"http://blog.drenet.net" target=3D"_blank">http://blog.drenet.net</a><br> PGP key =A0 - <a href=3D"http://www.drenet.net/0x83ADAAAB.asc" target=3D"_blank">http://www.drenet.net/<u></u>0x83ADAAAB.asc</a><br> -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-<br> <br> --<br> ______________________________<u></u>______________________________<u></u>_________<br> -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by <a href=3D"http://www.api-digital.com" target=3D"_blank">http://www.api-digital.com</a> --<br> New to Asterisk?
