As a newbie, can anyone advise me if Asterisk can route international calls to a US based service such as Net2Phone so we can take advantage of the internet and save on calls? That would be my main reason for an Asterisk based PBX. Chris Mason masonc@masonc.com Box 340, The Valley, Anguilla, British West Indies Tel: 264 497 5670 Fax: 264 497 8463 Cell: 264 235 5670

My office network has a RH 7.3 server running Bind 9, Samba, WINS for NetBIOS name resolution, ten+ Win2K workstations, and uses DHCP from the Linksys router to hand out IPs for the workstations. Is there any way to do dynamic DNS updates so that the workstations' IPs are tracked in DNS? Chris Mason masonc@masonc.com Box 340, The Valley, Anguilla, British West Indies Tel: 264 497 5670 Fax:

I have a Redhat 7.2 server for DNS, Web, File Sharing via Samba, for my SOHO network of 6 Win2K workstations. I have a workgroup, not a domain. The server is on a static IP and the workstations are DHCP assigned the Dlink gateway, which also tells them the DNS IP. I am having a problem where some of the workstations can see some of the others in Network Neighbourhood, but some can't. SMB

I had a major problem to today. The owner of a company I built a network for had a directory in her home directory containing most of her work documents go missing. I looked at the log for her workstation and she did work on them in the morning. By afternoon, she return to her workstation and tried to open the directory but it was gone. The directory and all the directories and files were there

I use a openLDAP database for authentication on my Redhat 7.2 server. The domain is "HOME". I have had no problem adding trust accounts and authenticating against it. Today I had to change the name of my Win2K workstation from poseiden to poseiden1 for compatibility with a package I am testing. Once I changed it and put in a new trust account, I could not rejoin the domain. I gave up and

In an small business network I have built for a hospitality client, I have several Win2K workstations and a Redhat 7.3 server using Samba for PDC and file sharing, user's home directories, etc. Users can float as there are not enough machines and some workers are not deskbound. Everything works great at this stage. No I have to integrate a Point of Sale system. The POS system runs on Win98

I have installed openldap and the samba.idealx.org ldap configuration and scripts, and now I have ldap authentication working wonderfully well. I'd like to be able to use the same ldap user database for other info such as phone numbers, email, etc, but I don't know how to add it or whether it is a good idea. Anyone done this?

I have a backup script that copies the contents of a backup directory to my local server at night. The command is run from a script: /etc/cron.daily/backup /usr/bin/rsync -arvz -e ssh user@servername.com:/home/backups/* backup_disk/servername/ The output from the cron job is: Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied

For all my PBX installations I want to have Fail Over on the main incoming PSTN line so that a power outage does not leave the offices stranded. Is there any commercial solution to this? I would rather a finished product than a home soldering project. Chris Mason masonc@masonc.com Box 340, The Valley, Anguilla, British West Indies Tel.

My redhat 9 server is using samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 - everything was fine until I recently tried to change the users password from his workstation, and got the famous "Domain is not available" error. I would like to upgrade the server's samba install but not anything else as everything on the server is stable and I can't have a lot of disruption if there are upgrade problems, which

I just downloaded the 2.2.4-2 src.rpm file from samba.org and installed and compiled on my intel-redhat 7.2 system. When I changed to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 I found only i386/samba-2.2.4-2.i386.rpm in it. There was no other rpms, even though the spec file says there will be. Here's the last few lines of the build output, I only see two rpms being created.

One might also conclude that during the outage the support people were focusing on getting the system back up and were not near phones. At least that is what I would bet on. Just a thought considering how most of the smaller ITSPs seem to work.

I have installed Asterisk on a CentOS4 box and then installed Asterisk from CVS. I installed a Sangoma A101 and connected it to a Adtran 600 using a T1 Crossover cable. The 600 has 12 x FXS, 12 x FXO interfaces. I ran through the wanpipe install instructions and configured it, now I can run [root@altpbx asterisk]# wanrouter hwprobe ------------------------------- | Wanpipe Hardware Probe Info

I have tidied up the script and added some help text, feel free to download and maybe improve. http://www.masonc.com/phoneconf Usage: Usage: ./phoneconf [config|help] phonemacaddress extention username context ./phoneconf help will print syntax info ./phoneconf 0004f201aa11 500 MyPhone defaulot will configure the phone with that mac with one extension (500), and add the phone to sip.conf.

I have put a pbx into a resort with Polyycom phones, everythign works great, except the kitchen staff cannot hear the phone ring. I know many legacy systems employ a big red flashing light, any ideas on doing something similar? -- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264) 497-5670 Fax: (264) 497-8463 Int: (305) 704-7249 Fax: (815)301-9759 Cell: 264-235-5670 Yahoo IM: netconcepts_anguilla@yahoo.com

A client wants to put phones in a semi-public place, using a Calling Card solution. What kind of hardware is suitable? I'm looking for a wall mounted booth, a SIP phone that can't easily be broken, but I might just use cheap analog phones and a channel bank. What do you suggest for the calling card software? This installation will be outside the US. -- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264)

We have a billing system that depends on the CDRs. We had a guest that made a one minute call to a local cellphone, this call went out Zap channel through our channel bank. The CDR recorded a 200 minute call, but I checked with the Telco's records and it had terminated after one minute. What can cause this and what can I do to prevent it? -- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264) 497-5670 Fax:
