Is there some concensus on where to set callerid when making outgoing calls via an ITSP over IAX? Is this best accomplished in IAX.CONF or EXTENSIONS.CONF? Also, tech support at one ITSP told me that the SetCIDName command doesn't do anything. Is this something that might be unique to their server? Or a general statement of fact? Thanks, Michael -- Michael Graves

Here's t link: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=JUEFVG ENEA01YQSNDBCCKH0CJUMEKJVN?articleID=165702588 The bottom line is that they compare retail VOIP providers like Comcast Cable, Time-Warner Cable, AT&T, Vonage, Packet8 et al. Their methodology seems sound. Their conclusion is that retail VOIP services don't yet match the PSTN for reliability &

Hi all, I'm using VOIPJET to make international calls with an IAX2 connection between my local asterisk server and their server(s). At times I seem to have a problem if 5 or more international calls are made at once - I'm on a 1024kbps download and 256kbps upload DSL line (only the asterisk server uses this DSL line). Today I switched the codec from ulaw to ilbc in an attempt to lower

Has anyone here ever tried using a wifi bridge to place a deskset in someplace where there was no LAN drop? If so what hardware did you use and was it succesful?

Does anyone online have an opinion on these? I've used 500/510/6001/601 models before. Need to know if these apparently lesser models can be provisioned in the same way. Are end uers happy with them?

Hi All, The past day or so I've setup a new * server based upon the Xorcom Rapid ISO. It did as promised; wiped the base system, installed Debian OS, installed Asterisk with a dummy configuration. So far so good. If I could get the config from my existing * server migrated to the Xorcom box the I'd be ready to roll. Essentially, it would be the same as I have now on Fedora Core 1, but

OK. Now I show my ignorance. What's the difference between a T-1 and a channelised T-1? I see that Covad's voip service (formerly GoBeam) requires a channelised T-1. Then I read recently on the list that many T-1s being installed are actually HDSL....which would be not a T-1 at all...right? Michael -- Michael Graves mgraves@pixelpower.com Sr. Product Specialist

Did anybody ever come across an affordable, residential cable/dsl router with support for QoS? The ones I've seen so far (Netgear, D-Link and W-Linx) do not seem to support it. I noticed that even email can damage a G.711 stream on an 128kbit uplink, leave alone file-sharing applications. I understand this is strictly related to *, but nevertheless of interest to many of us. Thilo

Anyone have one of these yet? http://www.voxilla.com/shop/index.php?action=item&id=38 -Dan

I am currently having our new office wired up with 8 PSTN lines. The guy asked me if he could wire it up such that one line had two phone numbers. I bought a Sangoma A200 with 8 FXO ports, but now I'm wondering if all I needed were 4 FXO ports. Is it possible to set up Asterisk with 2 numbers per FXO? Thanks for any help, Andrew -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

Hello, I bought a copy of this software in the hope of bridging Skype into my * box. It sort of works but the audio is all distorted and there's huge latency. Does someone have this working well with their * server? According to the wiki someone does, but I don't know who. I'm needing advise on what to fiddle with to get it working correctly. Thanks Michael -- Michael Graves

Hi We have a number offices accommodating 4-6 people each hence it is very important for PBX to be fanless and silent. We have been looking at using IDE flash disks also called DOM. The performance tests we have done so far satisfy our requirements, however we are concerned with DOM durability. We have installed debian and vanilla asterisk on 1GB DOM. All seems to work fine at the moment however

I'm considering that board as a mail and voip gateway for home use. In view of all those statements about how little resources asterisk needs, did anybody already try running asterisk on it? Thanks, Bruno.

I see a variety of DECT 6 phones available CHEAP at costco. Is there a way to convert these to SIP?

Hi All, Is this working for any of you? We're supposed to be able to dial FWD accounts through IAXTel by dialing 170099+FWD number. I don't ever seem to be able to do this even though I can dial 800 numbers through IAXTel. Michael -- Michael Graves mgraves@pixelpower.com Sr. Product Specialist www.pixelpower.com Pixel Power Inc.

Hi All, I'm using DISA on my * server to avoid overseas toll charges when making calls to Western Europe from my cell phone. I have DISA working with a DID from a VoicePulse Connect account. The outgoing call to Europe is also made via Voicepulse Connect. I see that the IAX media path is bridging the inbound call to the outbound call so that the media stream entirely bypasses my server once

I see that ABPTech are now offering this SIP Wifi phone. Does anyone have an experience with it? I've considered the Pulver/Zyxel wifi phone but would really rather have something that can handle WEP or WPA. I run an 802.11g wlan with 256 bit WPA encryption. This Hitachi phone looks very much like a cell phone, which could be ideal. Michael -- Michael Graves

Hi All, A couple of weeks ago I noticed Askozia PBX, which is a new embedded Asterisk & OS distro at http://askozia.com/pbx. This caught my attention for two reasons; it uses v1.4 of Asterisk, and it uses the m0n0wall development framework to build on FreeBSD with a PHP based GUI. I've used m0n0wall for years, and FreeNAS also, which shares the same OS/GUI framework. I booted the latest
