Has anyone out there used the PipeMedia/PipeCall PSTN gateway? Anything good/bad to say about it? I'm considering using them for a new customer. They seem to have good rates, good provisioning tools and (better still) give commission on usage to dealers. -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Fax: 0871 661 1756 Hemel Hempstead UK

...e voice prompts I'm using have the best possible audio quality. Is it possible to use sound files at higher than 8kHz sampling? My callers will be coming in over PSTN to a VoIP gateway and then to me by uLaw/aLaw ... would higher sampling rates gain me anything in this configuration? -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd.

...r way ... I hear no audio on the softphone from the caller's phone. I'm getting no alerts from my firewall that it's dropping anything. I know my way around packet sniffers, but I don't know what to look for here. What should the inbound audio packets look like? Thanks -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Hemel Hempstead, UK

...too, with the same behaviour. I've a sneaking suspicion that the PSTN->VoIP gateway needs to recognise the call as a faxcall and do the signalling appropriately, and that Gossiptel doesn't do this. If that's the case, anyone know of a gateway that does handle fax? Thanks -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd.

...r UK-based VoIP-PSTN gateways. They should ideally offer: - IAX connection - Multiple simultaneous calls on a single account - Lower call rates than BT Business - Auto-top up or invoicing in arrears I can find several that offer one of these facilities, but none that offer all. Thanks! -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Hemel Hempstead, UK

...configured for the same username? I'd expect all the phones registered under the username that that extension is associated with to ring, and the first one that answers gets it. What I get, is just the first phone that registered gets a ring. The second one doesn't ring at all. -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Hemel Hempstead UK

...manuals to check functionality until you buy it I'm leaning towards either the TDM400P with 2xFXO, or the Mediatrix 1204, though because of the cons I'd like to hear from folks that have successfully used these in this type of configuration in the UK before I shell out for them! -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd.

...N gateway - Customer wants a new PBX but doesn't want to pay typical PBX prices - Customer has a distributed user base across offices and homes, and wants to cost effectively integrate them into one PBX - Customer wants flexibility in configuration - needs might change rapidly Thanks -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd.

...ly to folks who provide a SIP URI, eg: 100@calluk.com, without either having to switch profiles in SJphone (to direct SIP) or having to define calluk.com (in this example) as a destination in extensions.conf. Is this possible? The less user twiddling to get a call through, the better ... -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd.

...spaces or parentheses, it's fine. The following questions arise: - Are these characters allowed in a SIP URI? - If so, is this an Asterisk problem, a Stanaphone problem, or an SJphone problem? - How can I simply strip out spaces or parentheses from a dialed extension string? Thanks -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Hemel Hempstead, UK

...op on this line. This much is working fine. For outgoing, I'd like * to be able to tell if the line is already in use by someone else - ie when it tries to take the line off hook, can it detect that the line is already off hook and return to the dialplan that the line is unavailable? -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd.

...al use. Are you using a commerical SIP-aware NAT router solution? If so, what? Are you using a software SIP-proxy like SER or siproxd? If so, which? Do you set everything to "canreinvite=no" in sip.conf? Any comments about real-world implementations would be welcome. Thanks -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Hemel Hempstead, UK

Looking for folks experiences with ISDN BRI cards in the UK ... what's good and what's bad and any gotchas. Thx -- David Gurr Congruity Ltd. Hemel Hempstead UK

I found some postings from Google (notably from Mark Spencer) about successful integration of a legacy Toshiba Strata system and Asterisk. I am also facing that current dilemma. The general legacy solutions that I can come up with is very easy -- either making Asterisk a "proxy" (or frontdoor) to the Toshiba system, or have it operate behind the Toshiba via regular extensions.
