Does anyone know of a 24 port ATA device that could be installed in a phone closet? Like a channel bank, but, instead of multiplexing onto a T-1 circuit, it would convert to SIP/RTP on a LAN connection. Thanks, -- Michael Welter Introspect Telephony Corp.

I went on a service call yesterday to find an asterisk system with a T100P card on a Qwest PRI and a TDM40B card connected to fax machines. The TDM40B LEDs were not lit, and the system did not respond to keyboard input. However, calls were being processed for the PRI and 7960 phones. I replaced the TDM40B card with a new one, and the system now seems to be ok. But I'm wondering, why

Is there a Linux tool that will splice several gsm sound clips together into one clip? In my agi script, I would like to use 'get_data' with one clip instead of multiple 'stream_file' so the user doesn't have to listen to the entire spiel before responding.

I finally got my ASUSCOM (Cologne chip) ISDNLink card working here in the US. When a call arrives, I get "Unknown IE 42 (Unknown Information Element)" and "Unknown IE 21 (Unknown Information Element)". IE 21 (0x15) is defined as Q931_CALL_STATE_SUSPEND_REQUEST. IE 42 (0x2a) is not defined in the code and I couldn't google it. Is this something perculiar with ISDN in

I'm debugging a TxFax problem whereby the fax transmission fails. I suspect interrupt latency--some interrupt routine is holding its interrupt too long. I have all unnecessary services switched off and X is not running when I perform these tests. Some transmission are successful while others fail at random points. I've noticed that after I boot Linux, load zaptel, wcfxo, and wcfxs,

I need to reopen this discussion because it's impossible to run spandsp (and VoIP) under these circumstances. With zaptel unloaded, I see the following "vmstat 1" output: no swapping, an occasional disk output, +/- 1003 interrupts/sec., less than 10 context switches/sec., CPU idle 100%. A very quiet system. I load modules zaptel and wcfxo, and the system utilization stays the

I need to connect a bunch of analog telephone sets. Does anyone have any comments about this channel bank? Disconnect supervision? Echo? ADSI problems? The price is right @ $995 new and $695 refurbished. Thanks, -- Michael Welter Introspect Telephony Corp. Denver, Colorado +1 303 674 2575 mike@introspect.com www.introspect.com

Because of space limitations and because of the location of the punch-down blocks, my * server is located on the shelf in a coat closet. Sadly, there is not enough space (or ventilation) for the monitor and keyboard. This will all change when we move to new quarters, but... Does anyone have experience running Linux/Asterisk without a monitor? What, if any, are the issues? TIA

Hi, The PBX at the Colorado Organization for Victims' Assistance fried as a result of the building power being cycled. I'm now in the process of building an * system to replace the failed PBX. Minimum cost is the priority. I have a T100P card installed in the new system, and I am about to order integrated T1 services from the "CBeyond" company. They will require eight

Has anyone implemented HOBIC SMDR output from *? Can someone point me to the Bell HOBIC specification? Thanks, -- Michael Welter Introspect Telephony Corp. Denver, Colorado +1 303 674 2575 mike@introspect.com www.introspect.com

Hi, Anyone having problems receiving DTMF on incoming iConnectHere lines? They disappeared for us sometime in the last 12 hours... And, yes, we've restarted * and rebooted our * machine. Michael Swan Neon Software, Inc.

Occasionally my /etc/hosts file gets corrupted. The IP address and the host name switch positions with the host name to the left. What this happens, my 7940 phones won't register. Fixing /etc/hosts allows the phones to register. Do any of you Linux gurus know who is corrupting the hosts file? Thanks, -- Michael Welter Introspect Telephony Corp.

Hi, My PBX/key system failed when building power was switched off and then back on. The service rep says the PBX unit is so old that it is not repairable. The unit has 8 incoming POTS lines and 12 multiline sets. There are voice mailboxes on each line. Switching to Qwest's Centrex system would cost about $3800/yr. My 8 business lines now cost $3320/yr, so the Centrex increment would

I've seen other posts about this problem, but I haven't found a solution. I'm dumping eight call files into the "outgoing" directory at one time. Three of the calls are successful while the other five are lost. Here is the call file: Channel: Zap/g2/3036701917 MaxRetries: 1000 RetryTime: 60 WaitTime: 45 Application: TxFAX Data: <filename>.tiff|caller Note: All

I'm having an intermittent problem with fax transmissions, something I call the streaking mascara syndrome. TxFax will be part way through a transmission when something fails--on the fax printer, part of the page will have correctly printed, but the rest of the page is "streaked" to the bottom. I have several successful multi-page transmissions interspersed with streaked

Just when I thought I couldn't be wrong, I was wrong. We have woodpeckers that drill into the arial telephone cables, and water seeps through the holes and partially grounds the tip and/or ring wires causing hum. I thought the hum/buz on my lines was a telco problem. The Qwest HQ noise team assures me that my lines are within spec. Sure enough, when I listen on the test set the lines

Since we're chatting about tftp servers... Let's say I have a new customer with Cisco 79xx phones, and he desires to SIP register on my Asterisk system. I would have to provide the SIP<mac>.cnf and SIPDefault.cnf files on my tftp server for his phones. These files would be world readable, which I don't want. Is the solution to put the tftp server behind the firewall and

I'm having problems with the voicemail prompts. The beginning of each prompt is garbled. Prompts "edian mail" and "assword" can be recognized, but when it starts on the short phrases it is completely garbled. It is almost like the subsequent phrase starts before the current phrase finishes. I have isolated the LAN to the * box and the phones, so LAN congestion is

I realize why leaving email addresses in the archives would definitely _not_ be a good thing. However, is there a way to reply off list to an archived message? I would like to contact 'ulexus' about his asterisk/hdlc setup. Would anyone have his email address? Sorry for the interruption, -- Michael Welter Introspect Telephony Corp.
