Just a "heads-up" ... my home asterisk server is being flooded by someone from IP 184.73.17.150 which is an Amazon EC2 instance by the looks of it - they're trying to send SIP subscribes to one account - and they're flooding the requests in - it's averaging some 600Kbits/sec of incoming UDP data or about 200 a second )-: This is much worse than anything else I've

I charge my customers through PayPal, but recently faced a fraud which previously had only heard about. Somebody registered a few accounts, paid online with paypal (as my service is only prepaid) and started making expensive long distance calls. In fact the IP registering the accounts was from Florida, and IPs making calls were from Africa. After about 20 minutes the first payment was reversed.

Hi list, I am planning a migration to virtual machines, and was considering with it to move from 1.4 to one of the later versions. My and my clients' 1.4 setups have been rock solid and I don't want to put myself into any unnecessary trouble. Those of you with solid experience with all these versions, what would you suggest? What new and exciting enhancements would newer versions bring

Hi, I'd set the daylight saving option to yes on all the GXP-2000 phones, but apparantly it doesn't move it an hour back on last sunday of October. So now I am stuck will all the phones showing the wrong time. Isn't there an option so that it'll automatically update daylight savings?

Hello list, What servers would you suggest for:100 concurrent SIP calls, 4xT1 card, and a not much busy website, i.e. getting 500-1000 hits a day.

Hi all, For a top quality setup, I will need to install high quality VoIP switches with QoS and PoE. My potential customer should not have any problem with call quality. Experienced folks, Please advice me what switches to install and at what price. I may need it for upto 100 phones. What else should I consider so that phones work without problem along with the computers on the same network?

Hi everybody, How can we add new contexts in asterisk realtime module? All I could figure out after googling is that a new context HAS to be declared in extensions.conf with 'switch => Realtime/@<databasetable>' under the context name declaration. This works fine as long as we are adding extensions only to this one context, but doesn't give the freedom to add new contexts for

For a while now I've been looking for a good web based soft phone solution, but so far no luck. A few solutions which I've tried, both Java based and Flash based, either don't work, or had bad sound quality. I need something which I could put on my productions server for my clients. Seems like good web based solutions are all paid ones, nobody is giving it for free. Any ideas,

Hello list, I have been using Cepstral's 8KHz voices for my text-to-speech service for some time now, and have been noticing that the voice quality is really poor, doesn't matter what phrase I give it to convert. None of the other 8KHz voices I have ever used were this bad. It doesn't seem good enough system to be used in a commercial system. Is there any better quality text-to-voice

My main asterisk server is under unusual heavy attack, and so far Fail2Ban has blocked about 30 IPs, from various different countries. At this time it is blocking about 1 IP address every few minutes. Just wondering if anybody else is also experiencing unusually increased hack attempts today?

For a new project, I have written a dialplan and it is pretty straight forward: The [dialout] context dials out a number, and h extension in this context writes the CDR. But what is happening is that if the callee hangs up first, all values in the CDR are fine, but if the caller hangs up first, the 'dst' column is always 'h'. I put a NoOp right in the begining of this macro to

Hello list, I need to know how to deal with a redundant network with only one asterisk server, which is receiving registrations from the end points on both of its ethernet ports. This means extension 201 is registering both from eth0 and from eth1. Is there a way/software which can act as a middle man between asterisk and the ethernet ports, and by default sends registrations to asterisk only

Hello, I noticed that changes to realtime sip peers are not applied until a 'reload'. A 'sip reload' does not make any changes to realtime sip peers. When changing for instance the mailbox-parameter in the realtime sip_buddies table, the change is not applied with a 'sip reload'. For every change there is a complete 'reload' necessary. Why does a 'sip
