Re: [asterisk-users] Passing variables over IAX2 -- IAXVAR patch?

2008-03-24 Thread Bill Hackensack
Isn't this channel specific?  Why is this being added?  It does not work
with SIP.  It does not appear to be architecturally generic.

This gets added, but yet a channel specific enhancement for SIP that would
be beneficial for endusers does not get added.  Again, Asterisk is good at
transferring calls around, but when it comes to end users, the developers
just keep closing the tickets on the much needed features.

 Being able to pass variables around between systems is by *definition*
 channel-specific, since the channel driver is the module responsible for
 speaking a given protocol.  Besdies, SIP already has (and has had for a
 long time) a method for doing this (SIP headers).  So does ISDN, for
 that matter (IEs).

 I stand corrected.  This is, in effect, I guess, completing a feature
set.  It is just catching IAX up with the other channels.  I have no
problem with that at all.  Honestly, I never thought about using SIP headers
to pass variables.

I see it as a good feature, I was just ticked that a patch that had been
worked on for so long was killed only because it was channel specific, and
then this patch gets added.  I understand now that feature wise, this wasn't
really adding anything, it was more or less completing the feature set, a
feature that I was not aware of to begin with until now.

 The response on that issue from Russell is the kind of response that
really ticks me off.  No, no, no, we don't want any real features that users
want, we want basic, boring features.  Asterisk is a call center system, not
for regular, everyday business users.

It could be so much more, though...

Works great as an advanced IVR as a front end to a real phone system,
though.

Re: [asterisk-users] Which IP Phone is really the best?

2008-01-06 Thread Bill Hackensack
Wow!  That is a good question.  I can't believe no one has ever asked that
before.

Seriously, before letting someone join this mailing list, it should ask them
a simple question:

When you don't know the answer to something, do you:
a) blindly ask hundreds of people with no regard to whether it was recently
discussed
b) search your favorite search engine for an answer first.

We all know what this poster did.

I realize my messages may seem rude and obnoxious, but let's face it, I'm
just saying what the rest of you are thinking.  I learned by reading,
reading, and reading.  The answer to almost every question is out there, you
just have to look.  It irritates me when other people don't even try to do
research first and just want someone to spoon feed them the information.  I
wonder how many of those people are being paid for their knowledge, when
in fact, they know nothing and are counting on the community to do their
work for them.

Anyway, that's enough for my rant for today.

I'll leave with one thing:

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco 7970G line buttons

I just upgraded my 7970G to the SIP firmware. What I'd like to do is have
the 8 line buttons be able to make outbound calls using the same account
(for practical purposes, same caller-ID). Since the phone is going to have a
single public DID, when a call comes in, it should ring on the first
available line. So, if I'm on line 1 and a call comes in, it should ring on
line 2.

How can this be done? Can I configure all lines to the same SIP user and
will that do what I want? Do I have to configure each line to a separate
user and then setup some roll-over configuration in Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Hot GXP-2000

2007-06-09 Thread Bill Hackensack

Why?  Because of their excellent customer support in taking care of a
problem?  At the price of the Grandstreams compared to others, I can deal
with a couple of bad apples.  I can buy two Grandstream's for the price of a
phone with similar features.  I can deal with a lot of bad apples at that
ratio.  Their sidecar is so cheap compared to others it's not even funny.

Plus, I can't even get some of the functionality the GXP's give me from
other phones.

And as for whoever said this reflects on Asterisk, if you have to depend on

you need to know the stuff and not have to spend most of that time searching

for you to download for education purposes only and if a patent exists in
your country for G.729 or G.723.1 then you should contact the owner of that
patent and request their permission before executing the code.

Now, Al, what does that say? I don't know what country you live in (and
don't care), but if you live in a country (or possibly do business with a
country) that honors patents, then you will have to pay to license this
codec.
