similar to: Teliax is DOWN

I really hate to have to make a post like this, but I feel I have little choice but to relay to the group my experience with Teliax, and explain why I recommend against using them as a primary Voip-> PSTN provider. I hope that a letter like this will inspire companies like Teliax to work harder at customer service, as well as circuit stability. We need more companies that offer the types of

I set up a context to allow me to call in to my * server (via Teliax in this case using IAX2) from my cellphone, and let me do a number of things, including dial other extensions, AND dial outbound again so callers could see my proper work CallerID when I use this service. Is there a way to be able to transfer calls to other extensions of my asterisk server FROM the cell phone/ This isn't a

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? I am particularly interested in termination to the UK, but will accept any comments people have.

Does someone have a link to step-by-step instructions to making the Line-In on the console sound card a MOH source? I know this has to work somehow.

Is there a way to make an outside call hear "The person at phone number XXXX is unavail", but when an internal extension calls another extension, they hear "The person at extension number XXXX is unavail"? I swear I've read this somewhere before but I'm not typing in the right search. I probably found it before by complete accident. Of course, we want the outside

Can anyone explain the Polycom Text Messaging features built in to the IP 500/600? Can Asterisk (or something else) talk to it? I've seen vague references to MSN Messenger, and somehow that's mentally disturbing.

Does anyone have success in upgrading Aastra/Sayson 480i CT firmware? All I get, no matter what I've tried is "Unable to upgrade firmware". tftpd is working because the dialplan freshens, and I have aastra.cfg whatevermacaddressfile.cfg and firmware.st in /tftpboot Am I missing something stupid? Is there another way to upgrade it? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

Does anyone have a quick-n-dirty context to implement *66 automatic callbacks? I have a few people who like to have no call waiting on their phone (can you really blame them?) It would be nice to have something like *66, and also like 'Camp On', but instead of waiting something like 30 seconds, monitor the channel until it becomes available, then immediately ring back your phone to

I am looking for a voip provider that provides good rates (below 5 cents/min or unlimited) to UK NCFA numbers. Braodvoice advertises they do unlimited to NCFA but does not have the ability to actually termiate those calls as per the CTO Nathan Stratton, and last he said they dont even have contracts in place to get service provisioned for that. As such I am looking for another provider to take

Being one the many people trying to track down echo 'ghosts' I ran across this page: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-November/071301.html suggesting ways to adjust the gain. I have a TDM400P 2x2 config with Kewlstart lines configured. I've located a local telco milliwatt test line, and when I call it, the gain numbers are no where near 14844. Now, this

Good evening all, hope everyone in the US had a nice Thanksgiving! On one of our internal servers, I decided to make the leap from 1.4.2x to 1.6.2.0-rc6 so I could start learning about the changes and new features that have been implemented. I upgraded all the configs, removed all the deprecated stuff, etc -- well went well. However, I noticed after the upgrade, when dialing into an

Not to point the finger at Teliax, but I'm having some unique problems with their service that are as yet unexplained. Incoming calls are fine. Outgoing calls don't work, though they did at one time. As of today, I'm running the latest code from CVS. -- Called teliax/13143212222 -- Call accepted by 208.139.204.245 <http://208.139.204.245> (format ulaw) -- Format for call is

We are unable to call certain 800 numbers through Teliax but I thought I would post this here and see if anyone else had the same problem with either Teliax or other carriers. The 800 numbers causing problems pick-up the call right away and are in the US - American Airlines (8004337300) and Staples (800-378-2753) - we can call many other 800 numbers just fine. Our asterisk setup has a 4-port

Ever since I upgraded my Polycom 500 to the newest sip.ld (kept the old bootrom), when I dial things like "*98" for voicemail, the screen shows "9*8" and doesn't dial my voicemail system! Is this user error, or errors in the new firmware? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

When I try and park a call by transferring to 700, it audibly says to me "701", and then instead of hanging up with me, it puts me on hold. The only way to park the call is to send it blind to 700, but then I wouldn't know which parking spot the call is in! Before I send any .conf files to the list, does anyone recognize this behavior, and have a workaround? Chris Coulthurst

I swear I read somewhere on one of the MANY pages that there is a script out there that can read the extensions.conf file and create the MySQL DB records on the fly. Anyone know where I look for such a thing? Sure speeds up migration! Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com
