I have downloaded the source (wine-20011004), compiled and installed with ~/wine-20011004/tools/install.sh and am attempting to start running it. My first try, as suggested in the docs, is /windows/sol.exe from a terminal in KDE and the error message I get is: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: I compiled and installed as root - that may have been a mistake. However, I have a /root/.wine

It _appears_ that the only way to create valid [context] is by a context = line in sip.conf. Is there another way to create a [new_context] in extensions.conf so I can dial from it? Right now most of my extens are in [default] and I'd like to avoid that. Larry -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Slackware Linux

I would like to show a remark that would show call progress and appear on the CLI screen. The remark should be in the code of a sip [channel] or extentions [context] If I can't send my own remark, what little used 'show' command could I insert in the code? Can this be done? -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Linux

I am trying to setup a simple Samba server using the instructions in the O'Reilly book "Using Samba" first edition on a Slackware 9.1 system which uses Samba 2.2.8a. The windows machine uses windows 98SE. The instructions under Server Configuration starting page 93 and Disk Share Configuration starting page 96 had me setup a very simple smb.conf which should then appear in Network

I'm new to the list and to Wine. I loaded wine wine-0.9.7-i486-S10.2 into Slackware 10.1 in order to run the Forte Agent newsreader. It was setup and running under Win4lin which I have discontinued. What would be the syntax to load Forte Agent and specify the old "start-in" directory used under Win4lin? wine ./agent something_for_start-in_directory ?? Does Wine have the

Problem: SPA3000 phone does not ring for incoming PSTN call although I can dial out. I set up my Sipura with the Voxilla Wizard which is pretty good but leaves out some important details. The Voxilla Wizard for Supura SPA3000 gave me a setting for PSTN Tab -> Dial Plans -> Dial Plan 8 (<S0:66610>) Should I put extension [66610] in sip.conf with a context in extensions.conf that

I would like to access my shell environment variable MYIP from within sip.conf to put in externip. I've tried some variations of syntax after reading "The Future of Telephony" but it's not working yet. Should it be externip=${ENV{$MYIP}} or some other syntax??

I am trying to page my Grandstream GXP-2000 phones and keep getting the error message: Jan 27 12:55:04 WARNING[30401]: app_page.c:183 page_exec: Incomplete destination '' supplied.

I would like to log a verbose statement in my 900/976 extens to a special file called 'attacks'. These are not standard messages like debug, notice, warning, error, vebose or dtmf that could be logged to /var/log/asterisk/messages. Does the 'verbose' in VERBOSE commands have anything to do with the 'verbose' in error messages? I tried >> redirection of a

I have a Slackware Linux box called Tillie with three shares. All at /, user at /home/user and public at /public which is "guest ok" for access without a password. The problem is that Tillie shows up in Windows Network Neighborhood as a single icon. To open that icon and see the three shares Windows demands a password, thus making it impossible to access. Is there any way to get

My SIP phones can dial out through Sipura SPA3k to POTS for local and 911 calls _but_ incoming POTS calls are being swallowup somehow. Am I on the right track with the code snippit below? sip.conf: --------- In sip.conf the following code is _supposed_ to ring the SIP phones when a POTS line call comes in through Sipuara to Asterisk.

I am trying to mount a share on a remote machine using a miminal smb.conf as suggested in the Samba HOWTO. Nmbd and smbd are running on the target machine. The calling machine (server?) has the name of the target (linda2) in /etc/smbshares. When I try to mount I get the error message: Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.0.4 ) Connecting to 192.168.0.4 at port 445

I wish to have my Grandstream GXP-2000 phones make a different distinctive ring for internal calls ( Internal ) or if the incoming call has no caller id 'NOCID'. The Grandstream phones calls allow 3 distinctive rings depending on the caller id. I have one set up and working for 'Internal' calls but unfortunately the same tone will ring if caller id is absent on a call. My

How can I access an environmental variable in Asterisk 1.2.5? It should be possible according to: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+variables which says: Environment Variables You may access unix environment variables using the syntax: ${ENV(foo)} ${ENV(ASTERISK_PROMPT)}: the current Asterisk CLI prompt. ${ENV(RECORDED_FILE)}: the filename of the last file saved by the Record

I have a sip.conf with stanzas for sip phones that have 'context=sip-incoming for some Grandstream phones and another stanza for a Sipura SPA3000 with context=pstn-incoming. Reviewing the code today, I was dismayed to see that all my outgoing extens were mixed into those two. I have been told this is very insecure. How can I separate the outgoing extens? When I create a context

Using rsync-2.6.3 under Slackware Linux 10.1. Usually when I issue rsync -uacHv $SOURCE $TARGET >>/var/log/mirror.log files that are updated are listed in mirror.log. Today for the first time I used --delete --force in the line rsync -uacHv --delete --force $SOURCE $TARGET >>/var/log/mirror.log it looks like _every_ file has a line in the log that says "deleting filename".

I wish to rsync an entire Linux tree to another partition for backup while excluding certain directories. /home /var and /usr/local are mounted on separate partitions. How do I specify starting at the root directory? Is // correct? The USAGE section of man rsync and some googling suggest I need a trailing / for the source path. Is the line below correct? rsync -uacHv
