I just received a Wildcard TDM400P by FedEx yesterday. I noticed that the FXO/FXS modules use connectors similar to Ethernet. Now, i want to connect the TDM400P to the PSTN connector in the wall, and also to a regular analog phone. Both the PSTN conn and the phone use smaller connectors, typical for analog phones. I searched the "official" docs and the Wiki, there's good

I will install CentOS 5 x86_64 on my home server. Among other things, that machine will run Asterisk with an analog card connected to my analog phone line, sort of a home-brewed PBX with VoIP capabilities. The latest Asterisk version as of now is 1.4.7.1 I am trying to find RPM packages for CentOS 5 but so far no luck. The best site so far is this: http://djflux.net/rpms/fedora/6/ It's

I need a cheap simple adaptor for analog phones to use with Asterisk. It should be some kind of "configure and forget" type of device, to use at the office, or just throw it in a road warrior's bag and use it while travelling, to call back to the "mothership". I can't decide between iaxy and sipura. Can you guys help? Which one would you use? (and why?) I feel that iaxy

I will install Asterisk on my home server, I want to be able to route video calls, but I need the Windows and Linux clients to be interoperable. On Linux, it looks like Ekiga is a good candidate. But how about Windows? Anyone using Kapanga in an Asterisk network that includes Ekiga? Are these two interoperable? I'm not necessarily looking for open source software, free for personal use is

I am moving away from Cyrus, I'm trying to migrate to Dovecot. I am trying to get Sieve working with Dovecot and Postfix and it just won't work. Postfix is able to delived new messages to the "new" subfolder of the inbox structure. After I run Thunderbird, the new message gets moved to "cur" and it shows up in my inbox. So far so good. But now I'm trying to add

If your Perl apps are unusually slow on CentOS 5, have a look at this blog: http://blog.vipul.net/2008/08/24/redhat-perl-what-a-tragedy/ In a nutshell: some Perl apps are 100x slower on RedHat / CentOS 5 compared to other distributions.

Besides playing with Asterisk, i'm also using Linux for all kinds of multimedia things, especially recording music, mixing, etc. In order to use Linux as a digital audio workstation, there are a few things that one must do: use low-latency kernels, use pre-emption, use apps that run with real-time privileges, etc. For example, among audio Linux users, the CK (Con Kolivas) and LCK (Locosoft

I looked in the yum repositories for CentOS 7 and I noticed that there are no packages for any of the major open source IPSec VPN apps - Openswan, strongSwan, etc. I'm pretty sure CentOS 6 had Openswan packages. What is the current consensus w.r.t. building an IPSec VPN "server" (concentrator, whatever) on CentOS 7, that will do site-to-site connections with Cisco hardware at

Is it possible to add caching to a pipe? cat blah | in_RAM_cache_here -s SIZE | something else I'm doing what is essentially a cat (*) from a DVD directly to an NFS share. It looks like the two media (DVD and NFS) have very different read / write behaviors, speeds and timings, and the overall process is not as fast as possible. So I was wondering if some kind of cache inbetween might be

I'm a Thunderbird user almost since day one, but now I'm looking for something else. For whatever reason, it doesn't work well for me - every once in a while it becomes non-responsive (UI completely frozen for several seconds, CPU usage goes to 100%) and I just can't afford to waste time waiting for the email software to start working again. My main desktop platform is Linux,

Anybody using hardware SSL accelerators on CentOS? The architecture that I'm looking at is CentOS 4 32 bit and Tomcat, and the motherboards can accept PCI Express cards. But I'm interested in any observations at all, even on different software and hardware versions - what works for you, what to stay away from, etc. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Postfix 2.3.3 that comes with RH/CentOS is very old, there are lots of new features in newer versions that appear to be very useful (revised queue manager with better scheduler as far back as v2.5, etc.). Latest stable version is 2.7. I was looking for RPM packages and I've found this site: http://ftp.wl0.org/official/ Anybody using it? Good things, bad things?... Anybody using Postfix

CentOS 7 How do I print something on the text-mode console right after the OS has finished booting? I've a virtual instance and I need to know its IP address after it has finished booting up, to know where to ssh into it. I've tried adding "ip -4 addr > /dev/tty0" to rc.local, but that obviously doesn't work, because the login prompt overwrites everything I do. --

Have a look at these pages: http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2008/06/13/3ware-performance-in-centos/ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444759 I'm comparing the default 5.1 64bit kernel with the patched one posted in the bug report (kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.bz321111.x86_64) and I don't quite see any significant difference in write performance for this command: dd if=/dev/zero

I'm looking for a way to give VoIP capabilities to an existing PBX: it's made by Mitel and it's used in a small/medium environment (a few dozen phones, but the PBX has capabilities for up to 200, if i remember correctly). Any high-level guidelines on how to integrate Asterisk with a PBX that's already in use? Probably that particular PBX is not supported directly, but are there

So, my favorite RPM repository (EPEL) only has the ancient nagios-2.12 or so. What's the repo you use for Nagios 3? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Following Fabian's blog post re: RPMForge being rebuilt for EL5, I've a question: Are there any compatibility problems between RPMForge and EPEL? In other words, if I enabled EPEL previously, will I be able to enable RPMForge as well without running into trouble? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

I need a SATA RAID PCI card that works well with CentOS and is fully supported. Mandatory features: - works with the drivers already in the kernel, no additional drivers - can do RAID 0, 1 and 5 - hotswap - allows to monitor the status of the array and of each individual drive via a script (ideally run from cron) - works with very large SATA drives Nice to have features but not mandatory: -
