It _appears_ that the only way to create valid [context] is by a context = line in sip.conf. Is there another way to create a [new_context] in extensions.conf so I can dial from it? Right now most of my extens are in [default] and I'd like to avoid that. Larry -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Slackware Linux

I'm new to the list and to Wine. I loaded wine wine-0.9.7-i486-S10.2 into Slackware 10.1 in order to run the Forte Agent newsreader. It was setup and running under Win4lin which I have discontinued. What would be the syntax to load Forte Agent and specify the old "start-in" directory used under Win4lin? wine ./agent something_for_start-in_directory ?? Does Wine have the

Problem: SPA3000 phone does not ring for incoming PSTN call although I can dial out. I set up my Sipura with the Voxilla Wizard which is pretty good but leaves out some important details. The Voxilla Wizard for Supura SPA3000 gave me a setting for PSTN Tab -> Dial Plans -> Dial Plan 8 (<S0:66610>) Should I put extension [66610] in sip.conf with a context in extensions.conf that

I have downloaded the source (wine-20011004), compiled and installed with ~/wine-20011004/tools/install.sh and am attempting to start running it. My first try, as suggested in the docs, is /windows/sol.exe from a terminal in KDE and the error message I get is: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: I compiled and installed as root - that may have been a mistake.

I am trying to setup a simple Samba server using the instructions in the O'Reilly book "Using Samba" first edition on a Slackware 9.1 system which uses Samba 2.2.8a. The windows machine uses windows 98SE.

I have a sip.conf with stanzas for sip phones that have 'context=sip-incoming for some Grandstream phones and another stanza for a Sipura SPA3000 with context=pstn-incoming. Reviewing the code today, I was dismayed to see that all my outgoing extens were mixed into those two. I have been told this is very insecure. How can I separate the outgoing extens?

I'm trying to update a bunch of downloaded files from a mounted older disk.

But this line (without a tailing * in source) does not work: rsync -nuv /mnt/kinda2/home/lba/dl/ /home/lba/dl and I get the

I would like to show a remark that would show call progress and appear on the CLI screen. The remark should be in the code of a sip [channel] or extentions [context] If I can't send my own remark, what little used 'show' command could I insert in the code?

I would like to log a verbose statement in my 900/976 extens to a special file called 'attacks'. These are not standard messages like debug, notice, warning, error, vebose or dtmf that could be logged to /var/log/asterisk/messages. Does the 'verbose' in VERBOSE commands have anything to do with the 'verbose' in error messages? I tried >> redirection of a

I would like to access my shell environment variable MYIP from within sip.conf to put in externip. I've tried some variations of syntax after reading "The Future of Telephony" but it's not working yet. Should it be externip=${ENV{$MYIP}} or some other syntax??

I wish to have my Grandstream GXP-2000 phones make a different distinctive ring for internal calls ( Internal ) or if the incoming call has no caller id 'NOCID'. The Grandstream phones calls allow 3 distinctive rings depending on the caller id. I have one set up and working for 'Internal' calls but unfortunately the same tone will ring if caller id is absent on a call. My
