Does anybody know of any IP phones (ideally SIP based) that have interfaces to plug into a pro audio system (eg for phone interviews). Something can probably be hacked up with a headset connector or the 1/8" jacks on a 7970 but I'm wondering if there's something better out there. Thanks, Julien

http://www.x100p.com/products_2.htm Anyone ever use this box? How's it compare with the Iaxy? I'd like to buy one or the other.. The Iaxy is appealing because to me, it seems less "no name", but this one says that it supports using hostnames, whereas apparently the iaxy only supports IP addresses?? That's appealing to the dynamic DNS guy in me! :-) Any

thankyou both very much for your swift responses and helpful insight... While my knowledge of administrating Asterisk is fairly decent, i must say my knowledgebase and ability in troubleshooting it is fairly lousy... all these wonderful suggestions you have had about turning this log on here, etc sounds great, but i don't know where to begin on that! how do you recommend i turn these on or

I have a _very_ specific situation where I need queues to work in a very specific manner - I need the queue to only accept one call at a time, even though several phones are attached to it. My memory tells me that queues might have even worked this way in the distant past (pre 1.0)...but I am willing to be mistaken. Is this even remotely possible? PaulH

Hi All, I'm looking for a good voip hardphone that has a decent set of the "regular" features (conference, 2 lines, etc) thats reliable, has decent quality, and isn't too pricey. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Derek -- Derek Fedel

Hi all, Just a quick query about something that my manager has asked about. While I have talked with Asterisk people about this before, I forget the actual answer. We currently have an ISDN 30 installed on a Dell 2850, using a single port Digium ISDN card. We would like to add an analogue card, plug our fax machine in and have Asterisk simply detect the fax and pass it through to the fax

Hi Friends, I have successfully implemented Intercom, Voicemail and International dialing using Asterisk. Now I want to connect my PSTN Lines to Asterisk server. I have 3 PSTN number (lines) to connect to Asterisk. For this, I want to use Sipura SPA-2100. Is my decession is correct or not? Is there any disadvantages with this Sipura SPA-2100? Please tell me. Thank you. Regards, Chandramouli

Any idea how to read an external file, grab some stuff and push it back into an Asterisk variable? I can do it the other way with: system(echo "${UNIQUEID} =>" >> /home/ast/curr_calls) but I'm a bit stumped on how to go the other way around.... much thanks, Paul Hales

Hi, I explain what I want to do.. All the operators share their phones. The number of the operator isn't constant, so it's possible that two operators share all the phones. They need to move all around, so they pick up the first phone they find. If there are only few operator is very annoying for them to ear the other phones ringing while they are at the phone! So I'dd like to limit

How do I set configure my voicemail notification so that when I'm left a voicemail message it: 1) sends an e-mail to my inbox with the voicemail message attached 2) sends a message to my cellphone without the message attached I get notifications when I've got attachments turned off, but my cell doesn't like attachments in the messages and doesn't send them. An even better

Hi all Does Digium make a quad BRI card? I can't see anything of the sort on their page but I thought they might call it something else in the States. Failing that, can anyone recommend a make/model that would handle 4 BRI ports? -- Cheers Wayne

Hi guys, I've been using a Polycom IP 301 for a couple of weeks now and find that it's extremely slow for configuring. For instance, it takes several minutes to boot up, apply any changes via the web interface takes at least a minute, etc. Is this normal behaviour? Is there anything that can be done about it?

I've been playing with Asterisk for a few weeks and it's working great. I have a question about getting multi-line receptionist phones working.

I am trying to send 'codes' over an isdn2 link - such as *#24# - to activate call forwarding. But it doesn't work. I have tried sending it as a straight dial, and also as a DTMF string...but no luck... I spoke to a telco tech and he said I had to send a facility code....huh? Anyone with any ideas on this one?

Just wondering what web GUI people like for asterisk. I installed asterisk from source and I was looking at possibly installing web GUI for system management. So far freepbx.org looks promising anybody else have any suggestions.

Ready to scream here.. 1. After 6 months with Asterisk I'm STILL trying to understand the difference between a SIP user, friend and peer. 2. Exactly what resource does Asterisk use to send MWI to registered phones? I thought it was astdb? 3. It looks like it isn't astdb. It looks like it will only send MWI to a phone if it shows up in 'sip show peers'. 4. WHY then does a reload
