Hi, I'm just considering buying two Telecoms grade Sun Netra's to run a lab-based VoIP solution. Not my immediate thoughts as a VoIP platform, but from what I've heard, they can run Linux, and run it well. Only thing is: The Wiki and the Whitepaper just state that Asterisk is for the x86 architecture, but has been compiled to run on PPC architectures. No mention of UltraSparc.

I've got a handful of IBM X330's at my colo and another couple at the office for testing purposes. Currently, they're running CentOS 3.4 and are very happy doing so. The 3.4 install was perfectly seamless. When I tried to upgrade one of my test machines to 4.0, the keyboard died once I got into the install every single time once I boot to anaconda from the CD. It dies as soon as

Hi, I know it's not really the place, but if anybody in the UK (or US) is interested, I'm clearing out lots of new Cisco stock... 7970G's (colour LCD), 7960G's, 7940G's, 7920G's (wireless IP phone), 7935's (conference phone) and 3550-24-PWR switches. I also have boxes of 7914's, the single-7914 foot stand and double-7914 foot stand (these are required to

Hi All, I'm stumped on this and I looking for some clues to fix this. This is a new install of Slackware 12.1 onto an IBM x330 Server. Asterisk 1.4.20.1 plays the wav files and the Cepstral_Allison Swift just fine, but when I play the gsm files the audio quite choppy. And, the files produced from the MixMonitor don't even record any audio other than noise. I have a hard drive from

Hi, I read in the Asterisk Whitepaper, that you can run two cloned servers, one as a primary, one as a backup, and have them automatically failover to the other unit when it crashes, or when you need to restart it. The primary application of course, would be ensuring calls can be made when frequent updates are being handled, or when an update must be restarted on a busy network. The term

Hi, I'm a newbie to the list, but have been screwing around with Asterisk for the last 6 months or so (on a purely experimental basis so far). I'm not a linux expert by any stretch, (I'm a Mac OS X user), so I'm unsure where the line is drawn in terms of Linux issues or Asterisk issues. At present, I have to manually start Asterisk from the command line, but I'd like to

Hi, I'm after two very specific ringtones for the 79xx's... A dog barking, and a horse either galloping or neighing. I've tried making the sounds, but for some bizarre reason they're not working. I used to make quite a few ringtones for the 79xx's, but I seem to have forgotten how to do it! And to top things off, I can't even find the documentation on Cisco's site

Hi, Does anybody know of a VoIP compatible doorbell or door intercom unit? I've contemplated buying a cheap SIP phone, ripping it apart, and putting it inside an IP66 sealed unit... It would need: - At least one speed-dial key, or some way to make every button dial the same extension number - PoE (power over ethernet), so I can power it off the central switch - cheap enough to rip apart

Hey folks, I searched the list archives and found this : echo "AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT=5" > /etc/sysconfig/autofsck echo "AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes" >> /etc/sysconfig/autofsck http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-November/029837.html http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-September/thread.html#81934 Will this do all disks?

I have seen this error in many postings, but the solutions seem not to apply in this case. This error happens during a small file transfer (gif image) and after 75% of a 165G rsync job (the building file list portion is complete.) Most solutions I saw were related to not having enough RAM or running out of disk space. Check out the machine specs below the error. rsync: writefd_unbuffered

I'm thinking of using jails to improve security on a server I am setting up. Specifically, I would like to put Apache/PHP in a jail, but I might like to set up 2-3 different jails for different purposes. I've found several examples showing how to set the jails up. My questions involve system requirements. Assuming plenty of disk space, 1GB ram and a dual processor PIII 1.13Ghz

Hi, Most companies we work with, have 'designated' crisis management teams. These vary from the insignificant crisis', through to life-threatening crisis'. There is always an assigned emergency services contact, whose job it is in an emergency, to maintain communication with the emergency services. One of our corporate functions is crisis management - so we have to consider

Paul, I wholly agree with what you're saying - I too ensure that we have at the very minimum, a set of full spares. However, this thread really has the wrong name at this point... We're now looking at embedded solutions, in the same way Cisco has with it's ICS 7750 solution. I'm looking to build a robust embedded solution, that we can run in tandem - of course, we want to

Hi all! We use pxelinux for booting a diskless Linux from whitch we install all our systems. But we discovered some Problems: - With v1.75 the Kernel is fetched from the TFTP-Server with no problem, but it gets not started on Broadcom NetXtreme with newer PXE-Bioses - With v2.04, pxelinux even seems not to be able to fetch the kernel from the TFTP-Server. This affects also Intel's

Hi, Has anybody been successful in running the 7914 expansion unit for the Cisco 7960G IP phone? For anybody unaware of what the expansion unit does, it provides 14 additional buttons, with an LCD display. The idea, is that with an expansion unit (a 7960 can take upto 2 of these units), a user can either assign more speed-dial's, or can monitor line status/account status. So, you can

Hi, I have installed Samba 2.2.8 on a Solaris 8 server and have a question about samba passwords. I know you can assign an NT server to authenticate passwords, and you can also use samba to create a smbpasswd list. My question, is can you use the existing UNIX /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file so that we don't have to manage another list? Thanks in advance!

I have a very annoying problem, when doing rake db:migrate, I get the error message: Missing these required gems: will_paginate ~> 2.3.11 But the gem is not missing, It runs very well in my app. To make the rake pass I have to comment out the gem in my environment.rb file. environment.rb: config.gem "will_paginate", :version => "~> 2.3.11", :source =>
