Hello. Back in 2015, this mailing list was very helpful when I couldn't work out why my phones and AstLinux weren't talking to each other (the phones were misconfigured to use a VLAN). Fast-forward eighteen months and it's all very exciting! I have 5 phones which all work. Paging/intercom works. Voicemail works. Our POTS phone line currently redirects to our VoIP telephony provider, but I will shortly be porting the number. Thank you to everyone involved in AstLinux.
Lonnie's advice from my last problem was to deploy AstLinux as a "router on a stick", with all the phones behind it. This seemed like good advice! I had other reasons for wanting to use virtualization, so I installed Hyper-V Server 2012R2 and went for it. It's been another steep learning curve - I now know a lot more about VLANs and virtual machines! I have installed the "vm" flavour of AstLinux, given it 2 virtual network cards and it works brilliantly. The crux of my email is to ask if it would be possible to include the Hyper-V kernel modules in the next build of AstLinux? I went as far as to spin up a new install of CentOS 7 to make a development server for AstLinux. I even got the source to compile! I can find tantalizing references to hv_utils, but I can't work out how to enable them. This is a long way outside my comfort zone! It all works without the kernel modules, but it would be nicer to have them. Thanks.
