Noob here, my apologies in advance. Recently my employer decide to stop paying for my home POTS line, so I ordered packet8 for a home line instead of another POTS line, since I really dislike my local phone company, and the POTS line without any long distance would cost more than the $20 to packet8 with unlimited US calling. Anyway, this whole thing got me started thinking about VOIP a lot

I received a message from Packet8 last night telling me they added some new area codes. I took a look at their new area code/rate center finder page and it looks like the added a LOT of new area codes. They now have phone numbers available in almost every state. The URL for finding out which area codes and rate centers are available with Packet8 is at http://www.packet8.net/about/areacodes.asp

**** DRAFT **** DRAFT **** DRAFT **** DRAFT **** I've been using the DTA310 from Packet8.net for a couple of weeks. The DTA310 is about $130 without the Packet8.net VoIP service. It only supports SIP. On the back of the DTA310 is a power connector (power supply is provided with the product), a 10/100 Ethernet port, an FXS port, and a reset button. The front of the device has LEDs for

Dear members of the list, a customer of mine has some questions and I would like to pose some of them further to you guys. What is the situation with Asterisk and fax over IP ? Can Asterisk receive a fax over a POTS or ISDN line ?? Do I then need a Digium TDM-card and an FXO-module or a T38-gateway ? What phones should I use to automatically configure them from a central place via HTTP or FTP ?

Greetings. I did some digging with Google, the wiki, and on the archives, but didn't find a recent conclusive answer. If this is answered in the wiki or archives somewhere, please point me to it. I'm in the process of setting up an Asterisk box for home use. I've got a X100P card on the way. I've not decided what analog adapter(s) to get yet. The only phone service to hook up

I have a Dell PowerEdge 4300 server with dual Zenon 550 MHz processors, SCSI controller with four 9MB drives and 1 GB of RAM. I want to develop an asterisk pbx with 4 POTS lines in and 16 analog extensions (no VOIP). I also will install a sound card for an intercom. Is this hardware sufficient if using a Digium TDM2400P? -- Thanks, David Little M&M Technology, Inc. david at

System details: Digium Wildcard TDM410P with three extensions and one POTS line. Dual core Pentium 4 (32-bit) processor Fedora 18 Asterisk 11.2.1 DAHDI Version: 2.6.2 Echo Canceller: HWEC I recently upgraded from Asterisk 1.4, and made as few changes to the configuration files as possible. I regenerated the dahdi-channels.conf file, then I believe I had to edit this to set the contexts

This is driving me nuts. Any help appreciated. I have a couple of annoying problems in my Asterisk box, and I'll be dipped if I can figure them out. The box in question is an Asterisk CVS-05/03/04 (1.0) checkout, using the Zaptel drivers of the same vintage from CVS. There are two X100P cards, and one TDM400P with a single FXS module. The machine is an Athlon 2400XP CPU, Debian

Today I released Enhance Me 1.004 for AMP 1.10 and Asterisk @ Home 2.2. These utilities allow for speed dialing, a revised version which uses AMP to store speed dial numbers and NAMES so that only operators of the web interface can add and delete speed dials. Data is stored in mysql instead of Asterisks' DB. This stops the waste of the 300 series extension numbers. Instructions on

I'm trying to get asterisk working w/ packet8 (incoming and outgoing) and a dta310 so I can have more control over voicemail. I've looked at the data stream coming from the dta310 and from packet8, but I haven't managed to get the phone to actually place invites through asterisk. On the asterisk end with chan_oss.so, I can make it dial and I hear ringing and the first second of

Hey all...I'm brand new to * and I want to convert my home into a pbx type setup. I've figured out that I want a Wildcard X100P to bring my single POTS CO into my Linux box. My problem is that I'm sure sure what I need to do to get my analog phones connected up into a structured phone system. It *looks* like I can go the route of the Cisco Analog -> VOIP for about $100 on ebay.

Hi John, I've been using Packet8 via a physical ATA and XP100 card for some time. As far as I know it is not possible to connect to the Packet8 service without the ATA. If this is not the case I would be very interested to hear this. In addition since moving to the USA I now only have a single packet8 line into my asterisk box (I used to have this and a 2nd regular pstn line) I used to be

Hello list, I have reason to believe that ADSI can be spoken to phones even when they're onhook. Is this true? Does anyone know? Right now, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do anything to an onhook channel other than ring it. Does this require a magic application and some serious voodoo? Any pointers? I got onto this idea because I noticed that whenever I got voice mail on a

I have packet8 and I have spent many hours on the phone with them. If someone has found away around there DTA configuration I would like to know so I can bring it in house to my * box. But as far as your question is concerned. No. Not that I know of. They wouldn't give me any information about the configs. .o-------------------------------------------------------o.

The past week or so I have been experimenting with Asterisk and overall find it to be a nice software suite, although I have encountered some problems, and have found almost no documentation (For example in sip.conf I needed the commands fromuser= and fromdomain= and only figured out this was possible after spending a few hours browsing on the internet and reviewing some person's configuration

Okay, first a little background - I've been with Packet8 since a month after they started. I found that we were outgrowing their services and decided to move to an asterisk box in the office. I found a service provider that offered me a reasonable rate. After a fair ammount of testing I decided to stick with their services and port my 3 primary DID's from Packet8 to the new service.
