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

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 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

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! 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'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.

I just need to buy 5-6 ADSI Phones. I wondering which of these models to choose - aastra 390 - I don't know is this an ADSI phone at all. Is there versions with and without ADSI - aastra 350 - I'm sure that it have ADSI. If there is some other good working model, it will be great, if someone points me. Thanks

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

We are using Bellsouth 8867 phones on our TDM400B FXS lines (asterisk-1.0.3). It has a "Voicemail" light, which appears to be MWI (according to the manual it works with voicemail from the telco that sends a FSK signal). The dialtone stutters when a line has voicemail, so I know that I have the mailbox setting right in zapata.conf, but the light doesn't go on. I am also getting

Hi, Would anyone know of a way to set the time automatically on an ADSI capable phone from *? The phone in question is a Aastra 480e. While I am at it, does anyone have any helpful docs on the ADSI script programming? I have managed to do basic functions by modifying the asterisk.adsi file using stuff gleaned from the app_adsiprog.c file, but docs would be really helpful at this point. Tia,

I'm trying to work out whether I want an ADSI phone or not, and in fact, whether it is ... useful/works with Asterisk. I have decided that for the cost/performance of the various IP based phones, I am not interested, I seem to get significantly better quality from a plain analogue phone using the TDM40B card. Is it beneficial to get an ADSI phone as opposed to a plain old analogue phone from

Any suggestions? The Aastra 480 & 390 seem popular along with the CybioLink. Does anyone use these phones (or others)? Are they compatible with atsterisk's ADSI? If so, how are people programming these phones? Searched thru archives, lots of previous talk but no soild info. I'd like to get a couple of ADSI phones to play with, just hate to waste the money if they won't work with

Can anyone recommend some phone sets that are adsi compliant and work well with asterisk?

I have a brief from a local hotel to build a PBX using Asterisk but they want to use their exisiting telephones and wiring from an old PBX that no longer works. Basically, I can build the system but an looking for a card that will allow for upto 20 extensions to be wired into the back of the PC. Doeas anyone know of a solution to this Sean-- ICQ: 679813 FidoNet: 2:263/950 Jabber:

Assuming the price of an ADSI screen phone (say, Aastra 390) was the same as an IP screen phone (say, Cisco 7960) and someone was setting up an * server for their 20 employees (each of whom would have either an ADSI or IP phone on their desk), would there be advantages to using the ADSI phones over the IP phones, or vice-versa? For discussion, let's assume that the hardware needed to

There isn't much documentation on adsi, but I called NETXUSA (the vendor of my 480e) and they helped me along. My experience: 1. I really had no experience with ADSI so I had (probably still have) some misconceptions on how the configuration is loaded onto the phone. 2. I set the following in my /etc/asterisk/asterisk.adsi (most of this is the stock asterisk.adsi script): ;

Greetings, I have just purchased several Astra 390 phones ready for asterisk. I have placed a line with adsi=yes in the Zapata.conf file just before channel => 13 I have also added an extension exten => 6199,1,ADSIProg(asterisk.adsi) exten => 6199,2,Hangup in the extensions.conf file. When I try to program the phone I get the following: Asterisk CVS-03/28/04-12:02:10,

I know I heard people looking for inexpensive ADSI phones a while back. Can't vouch for these guys, but this looks like a reasonable deal for what perhaps are new phones. No experience with ADSI, myself, but thought I'd pass it along. These folks also carry the Nortel analog units that do intercom and 2-line, as has been discussed in prior threads.
