This week, I've been really busy with the launch of a new Swedish Voip provider, www.bbtele.se, so I haven't been able to follow the Asterisk community and haven't been very responsive either. My apologies if you've tried to contact me and I did not reply quickly or at all. So to cover up (can't report on what is happening :-) I dedicate this issue of Asterisk Sunday News to

Here in Sweden, it's supposed to be springtime. A wonderful time of the year, with sunny skies and wonderful weather. Almost summer. Today, it's not. It's winter all over again with rain and only 3 degrees celsius outside. Better to stay inside and write a weekly Asterisk newsletter :-) This week's topics: ------------------- * Looking beyond Asterisk 1.0/1.1 - what's up? *

Hello all, I have just been trying to install the latest ast_data from: http://svn.asteriskdocs.org/res_data/ast_data/ into my cvs version of Asterisk and have found that the install patching fails. --------------------------------------------- patching file contrib/scripts/sip-friends.sql patching file contrib/scripts/iax-friends.sql patching file apps/app_voicemail.c patching file

Sunday news is today published on a monday. Yesterday was fourth of july, and I used that as an excuse for being off line yesterday. (Sweden's national day is June 6th - and it's not yet a public holiday, btw). Most of my Asterisk time lately have been used for producing the registration site for Astricon and tracking down speakers that haven't sent in their material for the conference

Thank you very much for all feedback on Asterisk Sunday News! This is the last issue for June. This week I'll go on holiday and will be back with more news in early July. My kids are getting summer leave this week and we'll be visiting the south of England for a while. Another part of Europe that still use their own currency. If you think there's an European standard, you're

This week starts with the exciting news: We're getting close to Asterisk 1.0 again. After the failed attempt earlier this year, we've been able to remove a lot of the MAJOR/CRASH bugs from the bug tracker and Mark feel's it's time to target 1.0 again. At this point, the community needs to work as a community, spending extra time on finding bugs, solving issues, improving

* Read the config sample files! (even if you're an Asterisk guru) ----------------------------------------------------------------- For those of you that have a working installation that you keep using, this is a reminder to check into the configs/ directory of the Asterisk source tree, regardless if you downloaded a tar ball or from CVS. As we add or change features in Asterisk, the sample

Another issue of Asterisk Summer News, delivered right to your mailbox! Back here in Sweden, it's finally summer weather. Sunshine and some heat. It's good for our ice bears and the snow houses to get some sunshine :-) Asterisk development and IRC chat has gone into a lazy summer mode, but the mailing list is still cooking. It's impossible to keep up with it, for both gurus and

What's wrong with ARA (asterisk realtime architecture) from voip-info: Asterisk, SER and MWI http://mail.iptel.org/pipermail/serusers/2004-December/013727.html Actually I wrote a patch for this and it supports ast_data too. What you do is tell asterisk that all of your phones IP addresses are your SER machine. Then when a message gets left Asterisk sends the NOTIFY to username at

Another Asterisk week has gone by. A lot of changes has been submitted into the CVS head, only a few to CVS stable. CVS stable only changes for bug fixes now. * Using MGCP? Please step forward!! ----------------------------------- There are a number of MGCP bugs and fixes in the bug tracker that needs more activity. If you are using the MGCP protocol, please step forward and help us fix this.

I have asterisk (CVS 7.06.2004) with newest ast_data. My sip-users are in a MySQL database. Is there a possibility to store the passwords (column secret) as md5 hashes? In that way that asterisk takes the password from a client which want to log in, do a md5 hash and compare that with the one in the database? I don't want them plain text in the database because of security reasons. At the

Hi to everybody, I have the problem that nearly no information are displayed on the Asterisk CLI (asterisk -r). In former times (before patching Asterisk 1.0.2 with ast_data 1.0.2) it looks e.g. like this: --- snip --- -- Registered '96' (AUTHENTICATED) at 212.202.169.118:4569 -- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from 212.202.169.118, requested format = 1024, actual format = 1024

Hi, Has anyone got MWI to work with SIP phones while using ast_data? I have asterisk setup on one machine which is reading it config from a DB on another machine. Everything seems to work except for MWI... Any successes out there? Thanks. V. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Hi, I use cvs stable version. I'd like to add database support on extensions.conf. Other config files into db would be a big bonus. Looking through the wiki, there are several ways... but not sure which one is the best or widely used and supported... ast_data and res_config seem to be the best candidates. I read it many times and my impression is that ast_data seems to be better. But

I made myself look a little silly recently in a talk regarding asteriskdocs.org. I didn?t realize the 4th ed. of the Definitive Guide was apparently actually out (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920025894.do), because I went by asteriskdocs.org?s claim that it was being worked on in OFPS (now retired, apparently.) Is the 4th ed. available to read online like the 3rd ed. was? Is someone on

I’d like to nominate Quentin Colombet as LSR code owner. He has handled most of the reviews for me for the past couple years (thanks Quentin), and is willing to take on the responsiblity. Frankly, turning over ownership to Quentin is overdue. -Andy

Hi, Has anyone manage to comile app_dbodbc or ast_data with the latest stable release (1.09). If so can you give some guidence on howto do it as I have trouble getting either working. Umar

I tried that but it still doesn't work... I think I don't have the correct approach. Have I to install any ISDN drivers (=modules ?) BEFORE dealing with CAPI ? If yes, why shouldn't I use the hisax drivers (which are kernel ones) instead of fcpci drivers (which doesn't seems to work, by the way...) And finally, how is it possible to link the two modules together? As you can see,
