similar to: Emagen (a Telrad VM solution) -- any way to replace with *?

Hi, all. I've got an old Telrad PBX with an Emagen(?) voicemail box. The VM box, itself, is beginning to show its age. Big-time. We're thinking it might be time to look for a replacement. I'd love to install Asterisk with an FXO card or something, but I don't think it supports whatever protocol legacy PBX's used to speak to VM systems. If someone can tell me I'm

All, One of our customers is using a Telrad PBX, we are providing phone server through asterisk via a T1 using e&m directly connected to the Telrad system. We're using a T1 cross cable as normal, the T1 part works great. No alarms. When we try and dial out the Telrad using a direct trunk group, the call fails. When looking in the asterisk console I noticed only 1 or 2 digits are seen,

My client would like to add new functionality, such as call queuing, to their PBX. They presently have a Telrad PBX; it has a T1/PRI circuit from the CLEC and a few POTS lines. They use DID for some incoming calls and an attendant for calls on the main number. The client's commitment to customer service will not allow us to outright replace their PBX with a new system--we could never

Hi! I've got a Comdial PBX that I would dearly love to replace with an Asterisk box. However, for various reasons, it appears not to be in the cards. Regardless of what management does, or does not, want, our current VM solution -- some Dialogic card with a "KeyVoice" application -- is dying. I'm 90% sure it's hardware. I'd rather shoot myself than replace the

Hey, all. I quoted a customer about $100 for some cheap SIP phones. I was planning on using the BT-102's, but he called said they look like "Princess phones," and I have to admit that he has a point. Some of the other inexpensive phones look decent, but (for example) the SPA-841's wiki entry says the remote end gets a lot of static. Since it'll be being used from a noisy

Hey, all. I'm planning on migrating a W2K3 server to a Linux solution. It needs to be AD-aware, support ACLs, etc. This isn't something I'm doing Right Now(tm), so I can wait a little bit. A couple questions: 1) Are there any known issues with BTRFS? 2) Which version of Samba would be most appropriate for this? 3) AD integration: I've never really done it (with success); any

Hey, all. Just wondering if there's a GUI out there -- preferably OSS, but I'll take what-have-you -- that a) can run on an Ubuntu/Debian box, and b) allows a receptionist to see what calls are in-process, and forward calls from their phone to somewhere else.

I've googled to no avail, I'm afraid. Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

We have an old Telrad 128KSU PBX to which I am trying to connect asterisk in the following manner: Current Setup: Telco-> T1->PBX Desired Setup: Telco-> T1-> Asterisk-> T1-> PBX. I am first trying to setup the Asterisk -> T1->PBX part without disturbing existing setup so I can get asterisk to forward calls to PBX and once that is done, I would try to move the telco

Hi, all. I've got a fax extension in my extensions.conf, but spandsp never sends my faxes there. Both applications -- txfax and rxfax -- are registered by Asterisk, so they compiled and installed correctly. I've got a Sangoma A104 card, and (as some people had suggested) have loaded ztdummy. Everything seems fine, except that it never gets recognized as a fax. I've even turned off

Hi, all. Got my Uniden UIP200 today (ordered from thetwistergroup.com), and was very excited to set it up... until I came to the realization that there were no docs with it whatsoever. There was, however, a sheet of paper with the stock warnings (don't use the phone in the tub, etc.), AND a URL -- for documentation. Score! Well, no. The URL it gave me, bcs.uniden.com, does indeed have

Hi, all. I want to have a button on my receptionist's 601 that, when pressed, will forward her current call to a given extension. Is there any way to do that? I've tried to RTFM, but I'm coming up empty. Thanks, -Ken D'Ambrosio

I got dragged away from Asterisk (somebody made me an offer I couldn't refuse for system administration), but I'm thinking about seeing if I can't get it deployed at my new employer. Regardless, there are two things about older voicemail that used to annoy me: - Dial by name. Has anyone made it so it can be first or last? - Jump to voicemail; you used to have to actually dial the

I'd *really* like to be able to have a call ring three different cell phones; then, if someone answers, they have to somehow acknowledge the call for it to be directed to them. That way, if one of the phones is off, or out of range, it doesn't go straight to that phone's voicemail. Asterisk 1.4 -- though I could probably upgrade. Suggestions on how to make this happen? Thanks!

Using the koan command, a VM can essentially request that it be reprovisioned. Is there any way for a VM to request that it reboot from a snapshot taken with virsh?

Hey, all. I was just wondering if there were any tools/utilities/what-have-you out there that would allow a user to click on a contact in Outlook, and have their phone dial it? (Or, I guess, have Asterisk dial both their phone and the destination number, and put the two into a conference.)

It's just come to my attention that newer phones from both Snom and Grandstream support OpenVPN. Is this a new trend or something? Since OpenVPN, in one swell foop, deals with both NAT issues and securing communications, I'd be very interested in hearing if other phone vendors were embracing OpenVPN as well. (Other VPN solutions are all well and good, but I really like the flexibility

Hi, all. I've finally made the jump from 1.4 to 1.8. I've installed everything (I think), my Sangoma card initializes right... but there's no "dahdi" command -- not from the base, nor as a subset of the "core" commands. I've got my channels configured in my chan_dahdi.conf file. What am I missing, here? Thanks... -Ken

Hey, all. I'm looking -- if possible -- for a decent, multi-platform soft-phone. Specifically, Linux and Windows; that way, I'll go through the same issues my end users do. I've noticed a couple (e.g., minisip, which seems abandoned, and sip-communicator, which, honestly, is probably a great IM client, but has a confusing interface for actual phone calls). So I'm wondering if
