How the hell is mirroring using GEOM under FreeBSD more complex than what it takes to get something very vaguely similar under Linux?

Are you sure? I suspect a: modinfo ./zaptel.ko would show that the "kernel version" string there is 2.6.8.1-12mdkcustom and hence it won't load. I suspect that Steve's advice is generally correct. I just wonder if there's a more "striahgt-forward" way on Mandrake, or if they give a different kernel version on purpuse in case you decide to rebuild the kernel. You have not replied to my other questions (what kernel source / headers rpm packages are installed).

But, the variable has to be a global, and is evaluated at the time the extensions.conf file is read in; so, really, it's a constant, and isn't evaluated at all at dial time. So, if you do one of those "dialplan show" things, you'll see that the variable has been substituted.

Being able to actually mirror a entire disk makes things a lot easier to work with in all areas. Why the hell would it make it less reliable?

It is mirrored. This means both disks are exactly the same.

Re: [asterisk-users] phone as control interface (was 99 bottles of beer)
Quoting Steve Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'm using phidgets (www.phidgets.com) There are various sorts of them out there. I prewired the house with relays controlling every light, outlet, etc., and just hard wired them to low voltage switches initially, but all the control loops come back to the "control room". now I am in the process of making every switch an input and every relay an output and breaking the actual hard wired loops. Right now the plan is a distributed system using nslu2's and several usb modules as controllers spread around. Normally they would take direction from a central box with a database for logging, playback etc, and a web interface. I am trying to figure out a good way though for them to fall back into dumb mode and be able to operate autonomously if the master controller is unavailable. I am also using 1wire sensors from dallas semiconductor for temperature sensing, and they adapt onto the usb bus - see owfs and other open source software to use them. > On Fri, 31 Aug 2007, Dovid B wrote: > >> I am new to the whole controlling devices in your home from asterisk.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to handle "+" prefix
Actually, when someone asked a legitimate question about how to account for a + sign, you jumped into the thread saying that such things were useless and that people should just learn how to dial 011 since that's all a plus sign means. When it was pointed out that it IS, in fact, a legitimate concern, and that there are many situations in which accounting for a + being dialed are advantageous, you come back with a statement about how that's outside the US, so you're not concerned with that. For someone who reads offense into pretty unoffensive posts, your attitude is pretty offensive. If you had nothing worthwhile to add to the thread other than statements about how people outside the US do things you don't understand and don't care about, then perhaps it would have been a good idea just to stay quiet.

Can anyone give me a URL to devices that I can connect >to my box that can then connect to the lights, security system, TV etc ? This is a whole new area for me to play and get lots >of sleepless nights ;) X10 control (Send data control signals over house wiring) I use an X10 Firecracker (CM17A) interface http://www.smarthome.com/1141.html which is a little radio transmitter the size of a DB9 shell and plugs into a serial port. The software that comes with it is for Windows and is very lame. However, there is a unix tool called bottlerocket which is a command line utility http://www.linuxha.com/bottlerocket/ to control the device. There are some "smarter" devices but that infers programming them within their constraints/user memory/etc. The command line one seems to work real well for me because the computer is far more capable than the other "intelligent" devices given the time to program it correctly. I have some code to calculate sunset so all my timings are relative to the correct sunset time so there is no altering for time of year or DST. This device can also send signals to more than one "house code" as I have two receivers. One for the lights & stuff, and another for the sprinkler system. They don't make the one I have anymore, but here is a link to some others http://www.smarthomeusa.com/Shop/wgl-irrigation// X10 Warning: Read up on the technology. There are some controllers that are BI-DIRECTIONAL which means the receiving device will tell you what it did/what its status is rather than assuming it did what you asked it. X10 can have difficulty sending to some devices depending on which side (leg) of the power circuit you are on. (There are bridges to fix this problem too). X10 themselves also make some of the ugliest wall switches I have every seen. Leviton make x10 switches that are _really_ attractive (spouse friendly in your decor). They also work _much_ better with more consistent (virtually perfect) control. A much more professional system but be prepared to pay for the "wife-approved" model. Depending on features some of the Leviton versions are well over $100. X10 is also being replaced by a newer technology called Insteon. Don't have any of these devices yet but it looks like "X10 version 2.0" and is backward compatible. Manual wired versions You can also get I/O interface boards for your PC which typically plug into a serial port and provide signalling to turn on/off many outputs with varying voltage/load characteristics like this http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=20 PIC/Basic Stamp http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/products/basicstamps/basic_stamps.asp There are other intelligent devices like the PICs from Parallax called Basic Stamp modules. These are little computers designed specifically for I/O control type tasks. This is roughly the kind of little computers you might find in you microwave, etc. Only these ones are designed with an open-ended consumer programmable interface for creating general purpose devices. (These little guys also support a neat mode where you can create a master/slave network of many of them kinda like an RS485 industrial control bus. That means only one of these devices needs to connect to your PC but you could control hundreds of these in robotic control or data acquisition type scenarios. This is only the tip of the iceberg and I am certainly not the authority on this. But take a look at some of the links and let your imagination run wild. This is what got my daughter interested in programming. When she saw that you could get "outside of the box" and control real-world stuff from actions on the computer she was hooked. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[asterisk-users] Escape characer for Digit Timeout
Hi *, I hope this is not a FAQ, but I couldn't find any solution until now. I need to set an escape character to stop digits timeout to let phone calls start immediately. Something like '*'. I saw that in many SIP phones it is possible to set timeout and escape character and the most have a "send" button. But in an analog phone connected to a Digium TDM? I looked forward in zapata.conf or zaptel.cong but I couldn't manage to find anything. Has anyone an idea?
