Hello! We are open to the possibility of changing our business telephone number shortly. This will most likely be necessary due to a physical move, changing providers and a few other reasons. However, we woud like this to be the *last* time we need to do this. Ever. No matter what. Is that possible? On the Internet, you get this power with domain names. We "own" our domain

Hello! I would like to get connected with a VoIP provider for home. At some point, I'm sure I will be connecting to it via an Asterisk box, but for now, I will be using whatever hardware they provide. What recomendations do you in the Asterisk community have for a reliable VoIP service that will hopefully interoperate with Asterisk? A company that is actually willing to work with an

Hello! I am in the middle of having a vanity toll-free DID set up. It's been 13 days now (9 business days). This is the first time I'm doing this, and I'm not sure of the process. There has been a very weird progression of changes on my number, from fast-busy, to a message saying that I'm calling from a phone with restrictions (no matter *what* line I call from), to a

I have an opportunity to pick up a couple of NetFinity 5500's 4 way Xeon 550's w/ 2 gig RAM for very little $$$ I have seen this: http://www.mail-archive.com/asterisk-dev@lists.digium.com/msg00719.html In it, there is a passing remark to the Digium cards having problems with NetFinity's. Can anyone here comment on whether this is still an issue with * 1.0? It'd be a bummer if

Hello! Now that I finally have my TDM board working, I want to move forward with using PBX functions. However, it seems cumbersome to use standard POTS telephones with Asterisk. I know that there are many of you installing even large systems based on channel banks and analog telephones. What phones are you using? How do you simulate phone system features on a phone that doesn't have

Hello! I wanted to make sure that, in addition to my complaints, I make it very clear: Digium's support is excellent. The jury is still out on the usefulness of the TDM products. However, Digium has worked very hard to make sure that this issue is resolved. I actually got an e-mail from someone at Digium actually asking what they could do to make me happy! She even gave me

Hello! Several of my customers would like to add a backup to their Internet connection. ISDN is a good solution: decently fast for a dial-up-type connection, yet still faily affordable. While I was at it, I decided to look at a couple of more creative telephone service options to possibly improve their service or lower costs at the same time. These customers range from having just a

Hello! I have finally ordered some Asterisk hardware: the TDM DevKit. However, I want to use VoIP phones (or possibly adapters) for remote users. I would like to get some suggestions on which phones to buy. I'm hoping that some of you with real experience might be able to help me out! Here are the features that are important to me: * While these phones are initially going to be

Hello! I'm having an echo problem with a TDM card. The TDM card is being fed by a channel bank just 12 or so feet away. When you put an analog handset on the line, both the RX and TX volume seem to be just fine. However, when I use the TDM card, I have to have an rxgain of 13.5, and even then, the audio is relatively quiet. I'm also getting echo on these lines, so I have turned

Hello! Attached to the bottom of this e-mail is an edited version of an e-mail I originally wrote to Digium tech support regarding Ouch and Power alarm errors I have been receiving on my TDM400. It contains a great deal of detail regarding my setup. In the end, I have found that one of the 5 phones I'm trying to make work with Asterisk is contributing to the generation of these errors.

Hello! Well, so much for mailing me off-list: not a single person did! In other words, you've already seen the results of my request: The options are: Nufone.net Cost: 2.9 cents/min for both outgoing long distance and incoming 800 calls. Service is pre-paid. Advantages: Extremely satisfied customers. IAX support. Disadvantages: One of the worst websites I've ever seen

Hello! I have a cabinet full of Wilcom Enhanced Line Powered Amplifiers with Manual Balance, model ELPA-421V. I *believe* these were used for a bank of analog modems back in the mid-90's. They were removed from a suite when the old company moved out. Here's a URL: http://www.wilcominc.com/elpa421v.htm Does anyone have any interest in these? If so, please reply off-list. Tim

Hello! In spite of a number of complaints, I have tried to use a TDM400 on a Via EPIA-MII motherboard with a 1.2GHz C3 CPU. cpuinfo and interrupts are included at the end of this e-mail. I have had no problems with it so far that I can attribute to the computer. I have, though, had continual problems with a certain telephone... Anyway, this module currently has 3 x FXS modules and 1 x

Hello! I just wanted to tell everyone that I have successfully used a TDM400 with an IBM Netfinity 5600 server. I used PCI Slot 3 (the first hot-swap PCI slot). I had a ServeRAID 3L controller in slot 1as well, which managed the server's array. Other than that, there was nothing extra installed. 2x667MHz PIII, 1GB RAM, 4 x 18GB hot-swap SCSI drives. The only problems I had were Ouch

Hello! While performing some zttest's for some time today, I was also keeping an eye of a top of the machine. While the zttest was running, I also had a ssh-keygen and a dd creating a 5GB file on an EXT3 partition running. I noticed that for the most part, I got a decent number of 100%'s, and a bunch of 99.6%'s or higher. However, it seems that whenever the zttest dropped

Hello! I'm setting up Asterisk on a new system. In the past, all of my Asterisk boxes have either been embedded-style systems that do not supoort APIC, or multi-processor systems where APIC comes along with SMP. However, now I'm trying to install Asterisk on a single CPU (and non-HT) system that does support APIC (A P4 Northwood an Intel 845 chipset). I've used both RHEL3 and

Hello! Given the current discusison regarding ztmonitor, line testing, etc., I've been looking into purchasing a used transmission test set. From my research, it seems that there are two items that might fit the bill: the HP 3551A and the HP 4935A. I know nothing about these specific devices. I *do* have a good background in electronics, and I understand the concept what they're

Hello! I've been playing with two pieces of hardware: a X100P and a TDM400P with an FXO and two FXS modules. I had been using just the TDM card; however, the TDM FXO module seems to hear things and "answer" the telephone for no reason, and I wanted to compare the results with an X100P card. If you want further details, I can give them to you, but suffice it to say that

Hello! I have a consistent, reproducable failure performing an rsync of an RHEL4 system running rsync in daemon mode with iptables enabled. With iptables disabled, or with a rule that explicitly allows all traffic, the rsync completes. However, with iptalbes enabled, the rsync starts, but will not finish. It fails after copying a seemingly random amount of data. I have been able to
