Dear Colleague, I am writing to ask your help for a book I am writing about Life Practices. I am looking for examples of those simple things that we all do that are essential to expressing and maintaining our values as we face life's ups and downs - our Life Practices. What I am seeking is a bit like folklore. Something with a story and an easy to remember slogan or catchphrase. I am asking

Is there any way to take an incoming callerid string and remove the given "name" part of it and replace it w/ something arbitrary, or add to a blank name string (possibly by looking up the number in a database)? Thanks, John Lawler

We are using Voicemail 2 and use the e-mail with WAV file attachment option. When we record a message from an internal extension, the WAV file sounds fine. However, if a caller from outside leaves a message, the volume on the WAV file is so low it is almost useless. When we access the voicemail through an extension, however, the volume sounds fine. Has anyone had this problem or any idea of a

I'm trying to get musiconhold to work w/ my Asterisk system, and I'm not having much success yet. First, I noticed that nothing happened even after I had enabled all of the options in zapata.conf & setup a sample extension in extensions.conf. Then I read something about how Asterisk uses mpg123 to play the files. I discovered that this had not been installed on my system, so I

Hi guys, I posted a somewhat similar question about a month ago and got a thoughtful resonse from Steven Critchfield, but I've got a quick follow up question to it. I'm looking to setup a 16 extension / 10-14 phone line Asterisk install for a customer who would like to have DID numbers for the extensions, since they're currently on Centrex and already have the 1-to-1

Hi guys, I've run into a problem that I can't figure out on a bunch of handsets I have running into a Rhino Equipment 24-port FXS channel bank hooked up to a T100P and running asterisk-0.9.0 and the associated stable Zaptel release. The sidetone (your own voice that you hear in your handset, built in for comfort) is noticeably louder than it should be, and it doesn't seem to

That could explain why it wouldn't work on any of my sip extensions I tried it on this morning when I first read about it and thought cool the things you learn. Is there anyway to make it work on Sip extensions?

I know that Asterisk supports DID, but does anyone have documentation on how to write the configuration for it? I'll be trying to setup a hybrid system where some incoming numbers will be DID enabled and others won't, so I'll need to be able to sort between the two, i.e. directly connect the DID dialed numbers and route the others to an autoattendant for extension dialing.

Hi guys, I'm running Asterisk-0.5.0 and accidentally stumbled on this problem while in the VoicemailMain2 application: If you login to it, or even if you call it w/ 's<extension>' to skip the login and press an '8' near the beginning (and possibly at any point, I'm not sure), the channel seems to lockup, even if the handset is hungup, the channel remains frozen

I''ve discovered what I''m pretty confident is unexpected behavior in accepts_nested_attributes_for, and am developing a patch, but I''ve encountered a question about how the core team would prefer the implementation to look. Here''s the bug: when assigning to a belongs_to relationship (and I believe one-to-one, but I haven''t verified yet) if you mark the

Hi guys, Thanks for your answers on my two questions yesterday. That's exactly what I was looking for, sorry for not noticing it myself, but I'm still getting acclimated to Asterisk and even Linux--from what I see so far, I love it. I've got another one now. Since my Asterisk install and configuration is fairly stable at this point, I'm interested it ensuring that during

Hi guys, I just moved from Asterisk release 0.5.0 to CVS 2003-12-22, and after overcoming a few changes in my configuration, I encountered one problem that I couldn't shake that was working fine in 0.5.0. It's the fax detection. I just have a simple extension setup like this: exten => fax,1,Dial(Zap/4,30,tr) exten => fax,2,Hangup in my main incoming context. This used to

Hi guys, I've had a sporadic problem recently with one of my users on our POTS line. About 1/3 of the time he dials a number (usually from a speeddial on his phone, I think), he'll get some phone company message (from the outside) about how the call could not be completed as dialed or something like that. However, the logs (and the console) always show the correct dialed digits.

Hi, I'm using a Mac, I've downloaded R (base), and I'm trying to download the package R Commander. I thought I had already done this (both from the web and from within R) but it doesn't seem to be working - it's not there as a "search()" reveals. However, there are plenty of files on my system linked with Rcmdr - located in

Hi guys, This is a two part question about the Voicemail application: Firstly, is there a way built in to the current app which would allow me to have Asterisk call a phone number everytime a certain mailbox receives a new voicemail? I know about the email and pager notifications that are already built in to voicemail.conf, and I've used those but also have a need to do what I describe
