I haven't dealt with Centrex for a long time, and one of my customers is being courted heavily by a Sprint salesperson. Am I not correct in assuming that each "line" of Centrex corresponds to an "extension" in the PBX world? This site has 2 POTS lines and 5 extensions, and they told me that for the same thing they're paying right now (~$40/POTS line) they will be

Greetings, List. I have my Asterisk box setup with 8 Centrex lines that were "left over" from our old PBX system. My boss is asking me to set up Asterisk so that he can flash hook and make an outgoing call on the same line to have a 3 way call. This is what he wants to do: 1) Incoming call on his Centrex line 2) Flash hook and dial a new number (goes out the same line) 3) Flash

Does anyone know what would be involved in making Asterisk work as a voicemail system in a Centrex environment? We have a Centrigram voicemail system that belongs in the Smithsonian. There are analog lines coming into the box and a 56KB data feed from the phone company's switch. Peter

Hi, I'm looking at setting up an Asterisk PBX in our office, which gets its phone lines (digital signaling, analog voice) from the main campus, which uses Centrex. Does anyone know if this falls under analog or digital for hardware buying? I was looking at getting a Digium TDM-series, but apparently our lines aren't pots (due to the digital signaling). Could someone enlighten me a bit?

I''m building a 10 branch/1 headquarter network with Shorewall/Linux as gateway on all locations. The TI guy asked me if there is a way to ''cache'' TCP/UDP traffic between them. I crawled on Internet and I only find very expensive solutions for this. Some of them appeared in this comparison article: http://www.networkcomputing.com/showitem.jhtml?docid=1524f5 Does anyone

The H.264 codec patent by Qualcomm has been ruled invalid by a San Diego Federal jury: http://www.eetimes.com/news/semi/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=197001066 . That means that H.264 codecs can now be written, distributed and revised freely under any license their authors choose, including GPL, public domain, or any other, and $free now that royalties are no longer required. How does H.264

Their methodology seems sound. Their conclusion is that retail VOIP services don't yet match the PSTN for reliability &

Hello, I had a partner of mine present a Centrex 21 brochure and ask how many of those features can I fulfill. There is nothing out of the ordinary, it's stuff like call hold, call forward, 3-way calling, etc. Has anyone assembled a how-to that shows how to configure PBX or Centrex type functionality? I found one in the voip-info wiki but only a couple of topics were filled out. Regards,

Hello all, I am working on setting up a basic Asterisk system (using Digium FXS and FXO cards, Polycom IP phones). I've got a few questions in regards to voicemail and was hoping that someone could give me some ideas... Right now we have three incoming POTS lines. There are times when all three lines are used. When the lines busy out, the incoming call is sent to a voicemail

Any thoughts on articles like this one - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/21/microsoft_goes_open/. This mentions the Vista API, but I wonder about earlier API's. I also saw something the other day about source code for .Net being released as a "learning tool". Of course, all of this is in a bid to get Office XML approved as an ISO standard. They don't just give stuff away

The benefits of * are obvious so that part of the marketing an * solution is easy. Anybody care to share ideas on how to target companies who would benefit most from */Digium? It seems to me that it would be an easy sell to small/medium companies who need advanced features such as ip trunking, IVR, Conference bridging, etc., etc. I would like to find a way to identify multi-location companies

Hi, My PBX/key system failed when building power was switched off and then back on. The service rep says the PBX unit is so old that it is not repairable. The unit has 8 incoming POTS lines and 12 multiline sets. There are voice mailboxes on each line. Switching to Qwest's Centrex system would cost about $3800/yr. My 8 business lines now cost $3320/yr, so the Centrex increment would

For whatever reason I decided to implement the validator class tonight. It''s my first go at implementing the class. My first run at it looked pretty good. I just added a generic .i for it and it all compiled. Sadly, the samples didn''t work because the base Validator class can''t actually be used as a validator! You have to derive from GenericValidator. I

The Skype network is circulating a virus that has appeared there before: http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=198500135 . The virus sends a URL to other Skype users in the infected user's contacts, which the target Skype displays as clickable. Clicking downloads the virus. Asterisk supports features like these, in combination with certain clients (which aren't

Hey, just came across this article. http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=ZLCZZJMVGJYNYQSNDLSCKHA?articleID=201202250 . Many of you would be already aware of this. It mentions flac also. i feel it is a good segment(stereo wireless headsets over bluetooth) to push flac given very light decoder and using encoder at low compression(to reduce complexity). Though very less is

The file swig/classes/includes/wxLayoutConstraints.h may need to be updated. It''s missing centreX and centreY from the list of wxIndividualLayoutConstraints. I''d send a patch in but I''m wondering if this file just needs to be regenerated from scratch. Roy

Hello. I am administrating about 30PCs with W2K and users are authenticated in SAMBA running as PDC on Linux. About 16PCs have the possibillity to boot also into Linux. I would like to authenticate also linux users using the samba, because I do not want to copy passwd, group, shadow each time I add a user, or even add the user on each PC. I do not use LDAP a do not know NIS. Is it possible to use

Hello, I've been planning to replace my aging CENTREX switch with a new PBX and am seriously considering Asterisk as my solution. I work at a college, and we currently support just under 300 regular analog lines to the offices and whatnot. I was wondering.. Is asterisk ready for such a job? Would I be making a mistake to deploy this across the campus at this time? It seems that
