After spending a couple hours scanning for an open source (non- commercial) billing package yesterday I am underwhelmed. Almost all of the packages listed on the WIKI appear to be defunct, for several years now. I will be happy to get a login and edit them out if that is the proper method to do so. My requirements are very minimal and at this point unless I have missed something will

What's the maximum number of #include statments I can have in extensions.conf? I'm getting an error at the 11th one. I tried breaking twelve #include's into 2 different contexts, and still got the same error. These aren't nested includes... they're only one level deep. Thanks, Doug.

Hi List, I have a Polycom 601 that when the user is on the phone they only hear one beep and the CID of the second incoming call is not shown.

I have posted this to the Asterisk Forums, but got no response yet. Sorry if you are reading this for the second time. What fax hardware do I need for a T1?

Greetings, I have a customer with an old PBX which cannot accept a PRI. Has anyone tried/tested connecting a CAS T1 to provide 2way DID trunks to a pbx? Either directly to an * server or a gateway? Thanks Jerry

We had an issue, and I know others had posted the same on the list. Scenario: Polycom phone user sets call forward to a toll free number(in our case) Call arrives for the phone, the phone notifys asterisk, asterisk dials new number. Telco drops call. But if you dial direct to the number it is a good working number. Solution Turns out our carriers DMS had a tuple on the PRI set incorrect.
