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

http://downloads.polycom.com/voice/voip/sip_sw_releases_matrix.html Howdy, all. What's the difference between "split" and "combined" firmware, which can be seen at the above link? 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.

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.) Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is

Hey, all. I've used Samba a lot, but took a job about four years ago during which time I've only used it for one-off projects. Looks like I might take a new job, though, and I'll get to call the shots. I'd *love* to have Samba with AD running things, and just have Windows in-place as clients (possibly with Exchange... can't win 'em all). Is this feasible in this day and

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. Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

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

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!

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'm probably doing Something Dumb(tm), so please feel free to point out whatever I'm missing, no matter how stupid. Anyway, I've got IAX set up to Vitelity. When I try to call my DID, I get: Rejected connect attempt from 64.2.142.19, who was trying to reach '6031234567@' This leads me to my first question -- why doesn't it show a context? (My second is,

Hey, all. I'm seriously thinking about doing the VoIP thing at home. The perfect platform seemed to be the Sheeva "wall wart" (http://www.marvell.com/products/embedded_processors/developer/kirkwood/sheevaplug.jsp). It's a cute little doohicky with USB, SD-card, Ethernet, and runs on an ARM CPU. I'd like to avoid SIP to my provider, just 'cause it's always such a

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

Hi, all. I've done some Asterisk recelling, but recently got roped into a Sr. SysAdmin position. Our PBX is c. 1823, and -- well, as pretty much all circuit-based systems do, it sucks. It sucks to administer, moves suck... you know the drill. So, I'd love change to an Asterisk system. My boss, who loves to spend money for no particular reason, wants to go proprietary, though. So

Hi, all. My subject line says it all: is there a WiFi SIP phone with VPN abilities? Failing that, a WiFi phone that runs Linux? I already know one phone that does meet my requirements -- the iPhone. The new software comes with a Cisco VPN client, and a SIP client can be had from third-party vendors for jailbroken phones. And, while I'm not averse to the idea, a) it ain't cheap, and b)

Hi, all. I see that the Polycom SoundPoint IP 330 supports VLAN... but I don't quite see how that works. Do you point a non-VLAN'd segment at it (akin to when you uplink a VLAN_enabled switch), and have the phone implement the VLAN? Or...? *puzzled* Thanks much, -Ken

I noticed I get echo on line when my internet connection is congested (during file downloads, for instance).

Idle curiosity: I like the look and feel of the Grandstreams, but it's been my experience that the speakerphones suck (esp. when compared to the pretty damn flawless Polycoms). I've used the BT-100/101 and GS-2000; have any of their newer models changed that?

Asterisk segfaulted on me the other day; how do I tell it to generate a core file so -- if it happens again -- I can attempt to debug? I looked in the obvious places in "make menuconfig" and didn't see anything appropriate.

Hi, all. I've got an Asterisk box installed that I'd really like to leverage -- and installing a GUI for hunt groups would be awesome. So long as I can have a trial copy, I could even pay money. It would have to be able to make use of both SIP and ZAP extensions. Suggestions? (Note: I wouldn't much care about the GUI, myself, but my boss is all over one.) Thanks! -Ken -- This

Hi, all. I just upgraded my sip.cfg for my Polycoms, and that damn warble on registration(? -- maybe it's on acquiring an IP?) has started again. I still have the old sip.cfg, but can't figure out which option it is. Any help?

Hey, all. Got an SNOM 820 in the other day to kick the tires. As with many phones, provisioning it was a bit of a PITA. The biggest problem, as far as I could tell, was that their firmware just doesn't seem that stable, and is sometimes hard to get to. - I managed to corrupt the firmware twice; fortunately, instead of bricking the phone, there's a fairly easy-to-use "rescue
