Dear all, I've recently installed Asterisk and am trying to understand where exactly Asterisk 'fits' in my VOIP architecture. Can/does Asterisk work as a proxy? (or only as a register server?) I am specifically interested in SIP. Could anyone perhaps point me out to a diagram with SIP users and Asterisk to better understand how I should set up my network? Thank you

In Asterisk 1.2.13 in app/app_voicemail.c, line 4700 ext_pass_cmd is checked to decide whether to use vm_change_password or vm_change_password_shell to change a user's password for his voicemail account.

Could someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks, Jez if (msgnum > -1) make_file(fn, sizeof(fn), dir, msgnum); else ast_copy_string(fn, dir, sizeof(fn)); snprintf(full_fn, sizeof(full_fn),

I'm wondering if anyone is having problems when multiple users concurrently change their voicemail passwords. Consider the following scenario (based on vm_change_password() in app_voicemail.c): - user1 wishes to change his password so voicemail.conf is opened and read into a buffer - user1 changes his password - user2 wishes to change his password so voicemail.conf is opened and read into a

I have a rather technical question here. I'm looking at the code in app/app_voicemail.c, I'm wondering when the vmauthenticate() function is called. Aside from being called by load_module() as follows: res |= ast_register_application(app4, vmauthenticate, synopsis_vmauthenticate, descrip_vmauthenticate); I can't see any other calls to it. Can someone explain to me at what point in
