I found this, which looked interesting: http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Triple_Boot_via_BootCamp Also, Apple released a new version of BootCamp that supports the Xserve on Aug 16. If it'd work, and you could shoehorn a PRI card into it, man wouldn't that make a nice Asterisk box? And at $2999,

I don't see anything in there thatI'm not doing already (and have been for over a year, with 200 users)with Asterisk 1.0.9, HylaFAX, and Exchange 5.5, with the exception of the text-to-speech stuff which is do-able with Cepstral / Festival and some scripts that hook MAPI on the Exchange

I run HylaFAX on a separate box from my dual PRI Asterisk box, and Asterisk relays the call to HylaFAX when it detects the fax. It relays the call on a private subnet with a crossover Ethernet cable with the slin codec. I have over 200 IAXmodems running on the HylaFAX box, which is an

The 3300 uses the MiNet protocol so you wouldn't be able to interface it over a LAN, but hooking it up the "old school" way (crossover PRI cable) should work fine, you would have to set up DID's on your 3300 that correspond to the extension numbers you would want to dial the 3300 from

SIP is on the "low-end" product (3200?) which is meant as an Asterisk-style mini-PBX that provided an entry point to get Mitel into orgs with 50 users, but for some reason it seems discontinued I can't find it on their website anymore. There is a SIP stack for the 5220 and higher phones

So you need a divide and conquer strategy here: 1. Is it Asterisk or the WAN? This should be easy enough to test for. Do call dropouts happen in your datacentre? If not, your Asterisk install is good. My money's on the 10mbit WAN pipe, and that's what I would be focussing on. 2. If it's the WAN,

It seems only the Far-end (called party), is hearing this and not the calling party. So, looks like the A in ADSL is showing here. What is your upstream bandwidth? If it is 1mbit this is the most likely cause. If your VoIP provider allows it, change your codec to GSM, which IMO has the best

A GSM gateway will allow you to specify a ruleset so a channel on the gateway is always locked to a particular mobile number, then you just send the call from Asterisk to the gateway and it will do the hunt for you. -Original Message-From: Lito Lampitoc [mailto:[EMAIL
