What are peoples experience with the reliability of the TDM400p. Specifically in the 2 FXO, 2 FXS configuration, which is the 022 (?) model. Is this board prone to random failures? joe a.

A lot of people are going for the "VOIP only" approach, but SBC says you have to have an active analog voice circuit before they will sell you DSL. Does anybody know which DSL providers will sell you DSL without making you pay for a voice circuit?

I have had very bad experiences with IAXYs so far.. I have pulled them and will be attempting a refund shortly. Bad audio, overheating and shutting down until allowed to cool, etc. make it unusable in a business environment. That said, is there a low-mid priced solution for a remote office to connect to a home office runing asterisk? There seems to be a hole in the market for 6-8 person

I am the IT Manager for an international company who preserves its competitive edge by cutting costs. We are moving to a new office in about two months, and naturally, Asterisk came to mind as a way to implement a VoIP setup at low cost. My expertise is computers, not telephones, so all of this is new to me. I need to know what the ideal setup for an Asterisk set up is. My idea is to have our

Anyone ever thought about an Ethernet based channel bank? Basically a rack mount set of 24 IAXys? That would be cool, IMO. No wrangling with zaptel, etc. IAX as the * <-> Channel bank protocol. Just an idea...

Hi group, i'm brand new and i would like to ask about soekris hardware. I read along the web but i have some doubts that i think can be solved here. My question are the following: 1) does the Digium TDM400P fit in the soekris box with a 4801 SBC or a bigger box is needed? Any suggestions about where to pick up another box? 2) does the Digium TDM100P (already discontinued) fits fine in a

I have a North American BRI configured as National ISDN (NI-1) on an SBC (Nortel?) switch. SBC calls this "FastTrak ISDN", and it's surprisingly inexpensive -- less than two POTS lines. I've been trying to find an inexpensive PCI interface solution to connect this to Asterisk as voice lines. I prefer ISDN BRI over POTS lines because of the improved signalling, fast dialing,

Has anyone done any integration work with Covad's hosted solution ? I am considering Covad's hosted solution and want to be able to use Asterisk to develop some other apps. Anyone else tried this ? how did Covad react. I know they use MGCP. Another thing, the Cisco reseller rep tells me if I have a bunch of 7960's setup for MGCP (for use with Covad) I will need to get these

Is anyone else having an issue with GXP-2000s and transmit gain? All my other phones are fine on my TDM400P with txgain set at 0, but the GXP-2000 caps at about a third of the scale in ztmonitor. I'm getting people complaining they can't hear me on my GXP-2000s, whereas my Snom 320 and Polycom 301 are great, and my Budgetones are overmodulating. Is there any conceivable fix on the

I have been using Sixtel from the beginning of the year and service was getting worse and worse. Yesterday I tried to access the website to get the CDR and I got an error saying that the domain no longer exists. I checked the whois and it says that the domain is on hold.

Does anyone have any experience with iax.cc/sixtel? Are they a legitimate company? From their website it looks like you can get a private incoming 800 number for 30 cents/month plus 2 cents/minute. Somehow that pricing seems a little cheap for a DID number. I assume there has to be some minimum usage or something. Any info as far as actual costs and/or voice quality would be appreciated.

What is the best cost effective solution for a small office: I need 3 FXS & 2 FXO. Can I hookup a TDM400P and 2 X100P on the same computer? Also, I saw some IP phones for $25.99 http://www.wosmile.com/cgi-bin/view_store_item.cgi?pid=4424&sid=5&category=1 Can I use them with asterisk? will they be able to do the same as the TDM400P?

Anyone using IAX.cc / Sixtel? Would love to hear experiences good or bad. Thanks! -- Start Your Own ISP! http://www.YourOwnISP.com

I am trying to do the following: 1. Call comes in to my * box over IAX (VP Connect DID) 2. Check to see if call should be forwarded to my cell 3. Forward the call to my cell phone and take * out of the media path. I am able to do all of the above except * is not able to natively bridge the call. I am using sixtel and for the call forward portion, but the calls don't connect before sixtel

I am considering using iax.cc (sixtel) and wondering if anyone had opinions, good or bad. Are there outages with any regularity? How responsive are tech support? How is packet loss?

If anybody here is a sixTel customer, can you share any tips & tricks for getting in touch with anybody there? They are absurdly hard to get a hold of, particularly when you have a technical issue needing to be resolved. If anyone has any phone numbers other than their main 800 line, I'd sure appreciate it.

Hi Everyone, I have a DID number with livevoip, but I have been experiencing two problems that I can't seem to resolve. I am not sure if they are in any way related. I have other DIDs with iax sixtel but I do not have that problem. Livevoip seem to think that the problem might be with my configuration. Can someone help me figure out this problem please. 1) When an incoming call to my

Just curious... Is there anyone out there who has given this outfit money and actually received any service from them?

Appears to be a diversified company (Google of it shows that they do web design, VOIP, etc.).

I am using Asterisk CVS from last week and have been using Realtime SIP for a couple weeks now without any problems. Yesterday I decided to turn on Realtime IAX but I am having problems dialing to my long distance providers like Voicepulse, Sixtel or Nufone.
