There are desk phones, softphones and a couple SIP trunks to another office. They all experience the problem. Calls between extensions, from or to the E1, from or to trunks. The only scenario left to try is connecting calls only via the E1 so we completely eliminate the network side of things and se if we get the same behaviour. During calls you can hear some background noice and interruptions in the voice. DTMF fails when we try to dial to external IVR. I do not really believe that the fault is in the Asterisk server but I have to eliminate all posibilities on my side before I can lay blame on the network infrastructure. I was also just wondering if DAHDI would not be a better timing source for Asterisk since it is hardware based? -- Telecomunicaciones Abiertas de M?xico S.A. de C.V. Carlos Ch?vez +52 (55)9116-91161

I wouldn't expect dahdi to improve things unless something was really wrong on the system itself. -- Joshua Colp Digium, Inc. | Senior Software Developer 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - US Check us out at: www.digium.com & www.asterisk.org

Most SIP providers have sample snippets for your sip.conf and extensions.conf files. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwards at sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-edwards-4244281

Rule Two: Type your reply *after* the thing you are replying to. Your SIP trunk provider will know how to connect an Asterisk box to them. That, after all, is what most people are going to be connecting. -- AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list!
