If you are only going to install it for VoIP without any PRI/FXO support then yes, if you require to also provide support for PRI/FXO/FXS then you will require to compile the dahadi/zaptel drivers (they are kernel drivers so m-a can help you with it after using make menu to choose what to compile. > > - grnvoip still seems like the cheapest termination service - but > only provides SIP connection, whereas voipjet, still competitive, > provides only IAX2.

IAX2 require only one UDP port, while SIP requires a big range of ports to be open. However you can use tunneling with SIP, so it will work only with "one" port (good for NAT and firewalls). Personally I prefer IAX2, because it is less complex and less security hell, but they both doing the work well. > > - didww.com is competitive on DIDs ($3/month for 077- number in IL, > $10/month for 03- number, $2/month US number), but other such as > diamondcard.us provide same prices, and also do termination (although > not as cheaply as grnvoip or voipjet). > > - Any positive or negative experiences routing SMS between those > systems? > > Does anyone have experience, specific software versions and/or configuration > scripts to share with regards to such a setup? > > Thanks in advance, > Ori. > Ido _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
