Hello everyone. I need a BRI ISDN card that works in Romania. I already have one of the "Cologne HFC-S" PCI cards and it doesn't work right, it's junk. I get waaaay too much echo using it. I'm now "shopping" for a better card. Can anyone recommend me a card that "fits" the following: (a) Costs less then $1000 / 750 euro (b) Has one or (preferably) two

Hello everyone, this is my first post to the list, so hello again. We're a small company in Romania and we're trying to set up a really small version of "call center". That is, we want to get a few land-lines from our telco in different countys and "bridge" all calls to our HQ, in order to make it cheeper for our clients to call us. Unfortunatelly there's no ISP

As the subject line says: Is PING a good indicator of network latency? If not, how can I measure latency? Thanks, Cosmin Prund

Hello everyone. I'm working on an application that needs to automatically send faxes. To send the faxes I create .call files but the .call files mostly fail because my lines are always congested within business hours! Is there any trick I can use to give the end user a better chance at actually receiving the faxes? I already tried using the local channel for dialing (so I can put in

Hello everyone. Is it possible to do some very basic voice recognition from within Asterisk's dialplan? What I'm aiming at is the ability to speak the digits I want to dial from my mobile phone. Dialing digits on my mobile phone while driving is not all that safe... Thanks for any input, Cosmin Prund

Googling arround I found a number of pocket pc softphones. Of those I was only able to install SJ-something (removed it). Is there one (pocket pc softphone) that works? Thanks, Cosmin Prund

There's a large number of gadgets one can buy that work with Skype through the API. One of the things I'm interested right now is the ability to properly use a mobile phone headset with a SIP/IAX softphone. Is there an softphone that emulates the Skype API? Are there legal implications in writing an softphone that emulates the Skype API? Should I just give up and buy a Siemens DECT

Hello everyone. This is an other question from a relatively newbie. I'd like to provide auto callback ability for my *. From my mobile I want to be able to call a number on the * and have it call me back on my mobile. I know how to generate a .call file from a script and I know how to call a script from the dialplan (in order to get the .call file generated). I also found the scripts on

Hello everyone: using chan_capi 0.7 and asterisk 1.4 Quick question: How can I detect the number of "voice" channels (B channels) in use at a given time. I'd like to call "Busy" if two B channels are used on my BRI to give the calling customer a Busy signal. Long question: On my single-line BRI (two channels) I'd like to give the 3rd simultaneous incoming call an

My Trendnet 26 port managed switch gave up on me so I'm shopping for a new switch. I learned the hard way NOT to trust marketing material from anyone so now I'm asking the list: what am I looking for in a managed, VoIP switch? P.S: For those that don't understand WHY I can't trust marketing material, let me tell you something about the Trendnet switch that's fast becoming

I've got a brand new Eicon Diva Server BRI card and I want to configure it with Asterisk. I managed to get asterisk and zaptel to compile and install, I've compiled and installed the drivers for the Diva card and now I need to compile and install the chan_driver for chan_capi. Unfortunately this fails miserably. I get the following messages: I'm using: Kernel 2.6.16.37.4,

Hello everyone! I've got a Eicon Diva Server BRI card into my "*" box working just fine, but I wander if there's anything I can do to improve voice quality for my operators. I'm thinking something along the lines of "auto gain" and sudden noise suppression (like when you hit a fax machine or the other party accidently touches the dial pad on the phone). Does

Hello everyone. This is a message I've sent before on Sunday, no one replied so I'm reposting it (guess not everyone's at work 7/7) I've got this really annoying and beyond-my-knowledge-to-debug problem. The line connected to my FXO port gets marked "out of order" by my telco operator. I don't know how to explain this further. If I dial my own number from a

As usual, this is most likely a easy question, but here it goes any way: How can I change the caller id on a transferred call so the called party knows the call has been transferred from a colleague and it's not coming directly from our outside lines? The story goes like this: 1) Client calls. All phones ring. 2) Someone picks up the phone. 3) The phone gets transferred to someone. 4) The

Hello everyone. I'm again bothering you with a bit of a problem, hopefully not really a problem. I just need someone to tell me this is ok :-) I'm planning on having two * machines on the open internet (ie: not behind a NAT) and having them talk to each other using IAX2. I can handle all the fire walling requirements in this case easy because at least one of the *'s has a fixed

Hello everyone. I've got this really annoying HFC Cologne card (or however I should call it - a single channel ISDN card based on the HFC chipset). It wrongfully detects lots and lots and lots of incoming DTMFs, to the point the card is not usable. Here's a sample out of CLI: P[ 1] I IND :DTMF_TONE oad:206361 dad:520101 P[ 1] --> mode:TE cause:16 ocause:16 rad: cad: P[ 1] -->

Hello: I got into a trap. As far as I know I do not need to pay any royalties to use G.729b in Romania, so I should have used other drivers. The installation procedure looked difficult so I decided to get one from Digium - it's not that expensive, my time is much more expensive. Made the payment, got they key, downloaded and copied everything as in

What kinds of problems were you having? I'm on 1.4.0 and chan_gtalk.so simply doesn't load. Of the 146 files in the /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ directory, asterisk loads 144 of them, omitting only chan_gtalk.so and res_jabber.so.
