Re: [Asterisk-Users] Again Asterisk and VMWare - it works now!

2003-07-20 Thread Dan
Hi Eduardo,

It is a file on a NTFS volume.
I don't thing this can be an issue for a simple voice playback for a very
small file (gsm format).
Anyway, I will check this, but I need a separate drive to do it.

Best regards,
Dan

   Dan,

 What type of virtual harddisk did you create in your linux vmware
 virtual machine? As far as I know, the default type is a kind of
 compressed harddisk image, to save disk space in the host machine.
 Perhaps that is the answer to have bad performance only in local
 services, opening local files in vmware: the overhead to decompress.

 You may have something here.
 Dan - you might try to connect via the virtual network adapter to your

networking from your VM to the host is faster.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Again Asterisk and VMWare - it works now!

2003-07-20 Thread Dan
Hi Erik,

 If you just want to screw around with Asterisk maybe you can use VMWare
and
 get it to work with 75% usability but trust me your customers will be
 complaining about that 25%.

My customers are: me, my wife and my little boy..:-))

 If you are SERIOUS about Asterisk grab an old 200-800Mhz PC and put RH8 on
 it.
I need a realbox with PSTN conection at my office.
I just want this solution for my home.

 We fought with RH9 when several top members of the Asterisk community said
 to stay with RH8.  We lost over a week by ignoring recommendations from
 Asterisk experts.
The main Asterisk box is on RH9 box (only [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 128MB RAM) for
more than 3 months now without any issue.
It works perfect for me.

 VMWare is going to have to work 4X as hard as a dedicated system when you
 start piling on codec users.  That 4X is going to cause a lot of latency,
 popping,  packet drops, and choppy voice.

As I told before, it is NOT a codec conversison problem.
Incomming IAX streams (GSM) are very well converted to G.711 for the
internal Cisco 7960's...the sound is perfect.
Tried with two simultaneous stream and is still works like a charm.

BR,
Dan

 I run VMWare day in and day out.  20+ different Windows and Linux VMWare's
 running on a RH OS.  I even run production MS SQL Server in VMWare.  Big
 difference between SQL Server and Asterisk.  SQL Server does not require
any
 access to custom hardware and a little emulation latency is not critical
for
 a small time used DB.

If you have call waiting set up, you could just define an extension that
is your music list. Then you dial your music extension, if a call comes
for you, you will hear a beep. During this beep you should get the CID
spill and be able to decide if you want to answer the line. If you want
to answer the line, hangup and the phone should ring with the incoming
call.

 What recomendations do you in the Asterisk community have for a reliable
 VoIP service that will hopefully interoperate with Asterisk?  A company
 that is actually willing to work with an Asterisk user would be
 outstanding.  They don't have to support the Asterisk box, but not hang up
 on me when I say that I'm using it would be wonderful.
 
 The companies I have researched are Vonage, iConnectHere and Packet8.  I'm
 sure there are others, though.
 
 If you could reply off-list, I will be happy to type up a summary of the

[Asterisk-Users] No audio in Messenger

2003-07-20 Thread The Traveller
Yo,

I'm trying to get Asterisk working with Messenger 4.7.  After skimming
through the list-archives, I've got it to register to my Asterisk-box
and can make calls.  Unfortunately, there's no audio from the Messenger-
side of the call to the other caller.  I can hear the caller in Messenger,
though.  It doesn't appear to be a Messenger or network-problem, as I can
talk to FWD from it just fine.

This same problem also shows up on the PSTN to FWD-gateway I just set up.
If the other end of the call uses Messenger, there won't be audio from it.
It works fine with X Lite, tried from the same machine.

I've tried everything from using different CODECs to canreinvite=no,
nat=yes, insecure=yes, etc, without much luck.

Does anyone have an idea or got it working?
I'm using the latest CVS for all Asterisk-stuff.  Thanks in advance!



Grtz,

   Oliver

I did this late Friday afternoon and Jeremy had me set up in
very short order. (I gave him wrong contact info Friday but he
IM'd me the needed account info Saturday morning.)
I've got problems with my own IP connection but aside from

to truly vouch for the line quality.
I've got an 800 number for incoming calls and I can route
long distance calls out to NuFone. Both directions is
$0.029/minute.
They are still building their web based account management
tools but I saw a preview and they look pretty nice.
It's a prepay service and there doesn't seem to be an account
set up fee right now so it's easy to get set up and try it
out--that's what I'm doing.
For what it's worth, I didn't do any investigation of alternatives.
Good customer service, like NuFone appears to be in the business
of, is usually worth a lot more than maybe getting the lowest
rate.

  I second this. But note they are now at 2.0 cents for
calls to US and
  Canada. They change the same per minute for incoming
calls on the 800

  They are responsive, competent; simply great to work 
with.
 
  Highly recommended.

 If you have call waiting set up, you could just define an extension that
 is your music list. Then you dial your music extension, if a call comes
 for you, you will hear a beep. During this beep you should get the CID
 spill and be able to decide if you want to answer the line. If you want
 to answer the line, hangup and the phone should ring with the incoming
 call.

This is generally indicates a problem with the licensing process (which
is severely flawed and full of bugs) on your server...  Did you make it

[Asterisk-Users] DTMF crashes chan_capi

2003-07-20 Thread Jamie Neil
Hi,

I'm having a problem with DTMF tones from my SIP client apparently crashing
the chan_capi driver. However I'm not sure whether this is a bug or
misconfiguration on my part: if I set softdtmf=1 in
/etc/asterisk/capi.conf the problem goes away. Does the AVM B1 not support
DTMF detection?

The set up I have is using latest CVS (3 days old) running RH8 on a 933MHz
P3. SIP client is SJPhone (G711) on Windows connected to * via a 100Mbit
switched LAN. PSTN connection is using latest chan_capi on an AVM B1 PCI v4
card (a steal at £1.20 on ebay :)).

I can call the * box using the SIP client and interact with the voicemail
app with no problems using in-band DTMF. I can also call in from the PSTN
through the capi interface and interact with the IVR menu with no problems.
Finally I can bridge the CAPI and SIP channels and hear DTMF digits entered
on the PSTN phone with no problems (they are also detected and displayed on
the console).

However when the CAPI and SIP channels are bridged, entering more than a
couple of DTMF digits into the _SIP_ client appears to crash the channel:
neither party gets disconnected, but there is no longer any audio in either
direction and new calls (inbound or outbound) trying to use the CAPI channel
fail. Once locked if I enter capi info in the * console it return nothing
and trying to autocomplete capi commands e.g. capi [TAB] just locks the
console up. Entering capiinfo and lsmod at the command prompt suggests the
driver is ok. The only way of getting it working again is to restart *.

When I switch to softdtmf, everything seems to work fine, but I noticed that
even though DTMF signalling works fine on the IVR menu, once the call is
bridged DTMF digits entered on the PSTN phone are not displayed on the
console like before.

[Asterisk-Users] Music on hold Read error on sound device

2003-07-20 Thread Stuart Hirst
Title: Message



I am having a 
problem getting music on hold working one of my servers. I have had this working 
on a PII 400 just fine but decided to upgrade my Asterisk server to a PIV 
1.5ghz.

I have installed 
mpg123 which seems to be working fine but when I start *, I get the following 
error message at the CLI prompt when I start *:

WARNING[81931]: File 
chan_oss.c, Line 232 (sound_thread): Read error on sound device: Resource 
temporarily unavailable

I have checked that 
the sound card works by loading X11 and running sound tests which is fine. I 
have used "lsof /dev/dsp" to see if another application or server is controlling 
the sound device and without * running, nothing is reported. With * running lsof 
reports that * has the device. Voicemail works fine.

When I put a call on 
hold the CLI shows moh starting but nothing is played. No errors are reported 
whilst starting moh.

I have been trying 
lots of different things for hours now without success.

Anyone got any 
pointers ?

Rgds,

Stuart


[Asterisk-Users] Summary of VoIP options for Asterisk and request for more?

2003-07-20 Thread tmassey




Hello!

Well, so much for mailing me off-list:  not a single person did!  In other
words, you've already seen the results of my request:

The options are:

  Nufone.net

Cost:  2.9 cents/min for both outgoing long distance and incoming 800
calls.  Service is pre-paid.

Advantages:  Extremely satisfied customers.  IAX support.

Disadvantages:  One of the worst websites I've ever seen for a company.
(Well, at least it doesn't use flash...)  However, customers say that the
customer side of the website is very good.

  www.global-gateway.net

Cost:  between 2.55 and 1.9 cents/min for calls (according to a customer)

Advantages:  I don't know.  I could find out nothing about this company.
Their website didn't work for me at all in either Mozilla or IE:  All links
merely pointed to #...

Disadvantages:  A completely broken website, no US telephone numbers.

Seeing as only one person mentioned Global Gateway, and several raved about
Nufone, I guess that's the direction I'm going to look.

Nufone's service seems more geared to business use:  (800) number for
incoming, etc.  I was more looking for something for home:  a local
telephone number, a number of minutes for a small monthly cost, etc.  I'm
going to have to review my home usage to see if it makes sense.  However,
my use of VoIP at home is in preparation for using it at the office, so
maybe it's the best way to go...


Are there any other options that people are using?  IAX termination, while
nice, is not required:  SIP would work too.  I'd prefer to stay away from
H.323, but if you're using Asterisk to talk H.323 with a VoIP provider, I'd
love to hear about it...

Thank you very much for the responses.  I really appreciate your help.

Tim Massey

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Music on hold Read error on sound device

2003-07-20 Thread Steven Critchfield
You didn't mention the distro you are using. I'm wondering if you are
using one of the distros that leans towards the alsa drivers. If so,
then chan_oss would have problems.
