Hi All, A couple of weeks ago I noticed Askozia PBX, which is a new embedded Asterisk & OS distro at http://askozia.com/pbx. This caught my attention for two reasons; it uses v1.4 of Asterisk, and it uses the m0n0wall development framework to build on FreeBSD with a PHP based GUI. I've used m0n0wall for years, and FreeNAS also, which shares the same OS/GUI framework. I booted the latest

I'd like to survey those on-list who actually use wifi SIP handsets. What type of wifi access point do you use? Are you happy with it? I presently use some older Linksys WAP54G APs. I'd like to replace these but in doing so I'd like to be moving in a VOIP friendly direction. I've yet to find a handset that I'd buy in quantity, but my last round of access points lasted >4

I'm in process of transitioning a number of offices to a hosted virtual pbx from Junction Networks. It's a combination of OpenSER and Asterisk. They have a nice click-to-call extension for Firefox, but I need the equivalent for IE so that it can work with our CRM system. Junction told me that they have a bounty on offer for this if someone's interested in doing the work. Would the

I'd like to add a device to my Asterisk server to leverage my cellular account. Does anyone on-list have experience with hardware gateways vs using cah_bluetooth and an old cell phone?

I see a variety of DECT 6 phones available CHEAP at costco. Is there a way to convert these to SIP? I recall someone talking about a Siemens devices that works with all DECT phones, making them SIP (I think).... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I will have a small shop with ~4 phones using an HP server with Asterisk on it, it has two NICS and so I planned on plugging one into the cable modem, and the other into the switch. I was going to let this box perform NAT for the company but I am concerned about QOS for the VOIP portion. Anyone got a similar setup and care to share what they successfully implemented? Thanks! jlc

For some unfathomable reason, Siemens USA doesn't offer the Gigaset IP range in the U.S. I'm particularly interested in the Gigaset S685 IP. Since it's DECT 6.0, and there's an English (UK) version, I'm thinking it should work just fine, after dealing with the walwart issue (and maybe caller ID signalling). Anyone imported one from the UK and using it in the US? for how

Hi there, in case anyone is interested, I've just taken ownership of a small home network (3 handsets) of the brand new Siemens DECT PSTN/VOIP phone. It works great with Asterisk. Here's my overview and review so far... http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2008/04/27/siemens-gigaset-685ip-phones/ Cheers Al -- The way out is open! http://www.theopensourcerer.com

Using a Polycom 550 and 650 phones on my Asterisk server for testing. I can't figure out why the volume is so low. How can I adjust the volume control on Asterisk? It's at max on the handset phones. Thanks! Hin

Hi All, So I've been exploring the use of G.722 encoded wideband audio recently. I have three different SIP devices that allow this: Eyebeam, IP650 and a Siemens S865IP. The Siemens and IP650 seems to work fine together. Calls pass between them in what the Polycom notes as "HD" mode and the audio quality is certainly very good. However, things are not so easy with Eyebeam and the

Has anyone here ever tried using a wifi bridge to place a deskset in someplace where there was no LAN drop? If so what hardware did you use and was it succesful?

While I myself am not a MagicJack user, I'm curious as to whether anyone here has managed to heist their MagicJack account's sip credentials, and use them to terminate calls using asterisk. Apparently it's as simple as sniffing the SIP credentials. If so, said person would enjoy unlimited termination for $20 year while retaining the flexibility of setting their CallerID to a

This Friday's edition of the weekly VoIP Users Conference call is all about wideband audio (aka HD Voice) and conferencing. The guest for this call is David Frankel, CEO of ZipDX a commercial service that specializes in wideband conferencing. We expect an interesting call touching on many aspects of VoIP going beyond the traditional phone service, conference bridges, technical standards,

Let me add another variable into the mix...what about the Linksys SPA-962? Good, bad or otherwise? The 32 button sidecar seems like a deal at $80 street price.

Anybody care to muse on Wi-SIP vs. SIP-DECT? My limited research indicates that none of the WiSip phones will ever be able to match the performance of DECT phones. Maybe I'm wrong but a Wi-SIP phone seems like a DIESEL sports car. There is nothing wrong with the technology, but it seems like a shoe-horned fit into the requirements of a wireless endpoint. DECT uses a wireless radio layer

Hello, I bought a copy of this software in the hope of bridging Skype into my * box. It sort of works but the audio is all distorted and there's huge latency. Does someone have this working well with their * server? According to the wiki someone does, but I don't know who. I'm needing advise on what to fiddle with to get it working correctly. Thanks Michael -- Michael Graves

Digium has released version 3.0.3 of its product registration utility. This is the first version of the registration utility that is compiled against the uClibc C library. A benefit of this transition is that the register binary should run more consistently and reliably across a wider range of Linux distributions. The new versions of 'register' and 'asthostid' can be

Does anyone have any experience using this DLink quad FXO <> SIP gateway with Asterisk? I'm still looking for an analog interface that I can live with, having tried X101p, SPA-3000 and TDM400...all with less than desirable results.

Does anyone on-list have direct experience with the new analog cards from Sangoma? I'm thinking about FXOs with echo cans. Need 2-4 ports but don't want to go through another TDM400 style experience.
