All, I have noticed that placing a call in the outgoing spool during a reload the call may fail. Try the call again after the reload is done and it will complete. This seems like a bug. During a reload calls should be suspended or something? Thoughts? Jerry

In CentOS 6 gconftool-2 (command line) is used to enable/disable items. In CentOS 7 I found "settings->power-> blank screen" as something I wish to configure by the command line?

I am stuck??? Jerry -------------- next part
