I have been looking around for VoIP providers but have not found a good listing. Is there no "yellow pages" for VoIP providers? Google mostly returns services like Vonage, Packet8, NuFone, ect. None seam to be very reseller friendly and none offer LNP or local DID's for my area. Anyone know of a list (even a partial one) Jeromie Reeves

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

Come to think of it since the DTA310 uses DNS to find the SIP server, you could setup a DNS cache and override the DNS entry for what packet8 uses (proxy2-eqix-sjo.packet8.net : 15062, over here) to point to the IP of your own SIP server? Kind of a hack but it should work as long as it's running on port 15062. I am very new to this so I don't know if there's a port standard for SIP

Apologies if this is an FAQ, I wasn't able to find an answer googling: Will any of the public PSTN/VoIP gateway services (Vonage, Packet8 etc) interoperate with * ? I'd like to deploy a box which provides PBX service for analog handsets, and handles inbound/outbound calls via both analog PSTN lines, and, say Packet8 VoIP service. I understand that I can do this by connecting the analog

So what are people using these days for SIP or IAX to PSTN gateways. 1. Do any of the standard companies (Packet8, Broadvox, Vonage, etc.) allow you to use your own SIP device (phone or something like *) instead of the interface hardware they usually provide? 2. What about latency and reliability? 3. Finally, do any of the providers deliver more than one call via SIP? In otherwords, if

I am setting up a new asterisk based call center. I just read: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-IAX+versus+SIP After reading this and other google results for "IAX vs SIP" is there any reason why i should use SIP anywhere !! t

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 &

I remember reading some people were talking about being able to use packet 8 without the ATA (I currently connect via an X100P card). Did this ever get anywhere? The wiki doesn't have any information on this - lots of referrals but that's it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

The Vonage service is offered with a SIP Cisco ATA device for connection to an analog phone. Is it possible to connect the Vonage service directly to the Asterisk PBX bypassing the ATA and FXO card? Are there other services that offer this capability or something similar to IP dialtone? Thanks Kevin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I've yet to successfully register and receive calls from my Vonage softphone. I've tried what few examples are given in former post this list and some other forums, but nobody seems to be stepping forward saying it works recently. Either they broke something to where you simply cannot use *, or the config examples need updated. If anyone can show a still working config,

Hello! I would like to get connected with a VoIP provider for home. At some point, I'm sure I will be connecting to it via an Asterisk box, but for now, I will be using whatever hardware they provide. What recomendations do you in the Asterisk community have for a reliable VoIP service that will hopefully interoperate with Asterisk? A company that is actually willing to work with an

Hi All, I've got an * PBX up with couple of stations and now I'd like to integrate my Vonage service for outgoing PSTN calls. Is this possible if I have an account with them that uses their hardware box (ATA186) or do I need a 'softphone' account? thanks...

I think I am missing the whole purposes of *. i see that it can do mainy things, but in laymans temrs I am not sure what it does. I am very proficient in Linux and would like to use * for the following: 1) I would like to get rid of my landline(verizon) and use voip as my main means to communicate on the telephone. I would like to be able to plug in my plain old phone into my linux box and

Hi everyone, I just installed Asterisk to my thinkpad last night to test it out a bit. Great software. I can't wait to expand my system. I am also hoping this group will give me lots of great information on using Asterisk. Just to let you know this is for a home and maybe a small home business installation. Looking forward to expanding my system. It looks like the most expensive item to

Stealth Communications Announces Registry to Avoid Access Fees Posted on: 04/23/2004 Stealth Communications Inc. today announced the official launch of a registry that allows service providers routing calls over the Internet to avoid paying local phone companies access charges. The VPF ENUM Registry allows carriers to map telephone numbers to IP addresses for such things as SIP phones and

Hi All, I have a CentOS server that I am trying to configure Asterisk on 1.4 on. Everything seems to go ok, with regards to compiling Zaptel, Libpri, Asterisk (will be using kernel 2.6 timer and ztdummy) Unfortunately I can't insmod / modprobe ztdummy. [root @xyz src]# modprobe ztdummy FATAL: Module ztdummy not found. FATAL: Error running install command for ztdummy

Has anyone put together a list of basic modifications & recommended settings to optimize a TCP/IP (mostly wireless)network for VOIP? Specifically G.711 & IAX protocol, and the Vonage and Packet8 services. My network is mostly StarOS (which uses linux cbq and ipchains) and Mikrotik and I'd like to put in some tweaks to get VOIP working better. It is working just fine right now, with

Hi all, While pondering my choices for local dial tone service via a bunch of POTS lines or a T1, I began to wonder if perhaps there is another way. Are there VoIP dialtone providers? That is, could I use only my internet connection for voice calls and not have a separate T1/POTS bank for that? I guess I am imagining a company that gateways between the PTSN and the internet backbone.

I have just setup music on hold by downloading and installing mpg123 r Now I have music on hold but it sounds terrible - clipping, buzzing, digital distortion, and its too loud (which probably isn't helping) and I'm just running it thru the 'default' line in music onhold.conf line default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3, with the default mp3s. This is a standard 1.0.3

I want to collocate an * box somewhere, where better than where voicepulse chose to put their servers? They probably did their homework and selected someplace where good handoff to the pstn can be found, right/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
