Re: [Asterisk-Users] Answer confirmation on non-Zap channels?
I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of making this more generic and not channel specific...as to your ideas, I would be happy with having to press '#' to indicate acceptance of the call, even if there is only silence on the other end. On the other hand, I like your ideas of announcing the call, verbalizing the callerid digits and presenting a menu to answer or deflect, etc...that would be icing and very cool...

I'm having an odd problem with voice mail on a recent CVS of * where it appears not to detect a hangup on FXO and * will keep treating the call as new and continue leaving voicemails until the max has been reached. It will then continue trying to leave voice mails and basically makes the system unavailble to any further incoming or outgoing calls on that FXO..has anybody seen this and if so how do I fix it?

[Asterisk-Users] Migrating home POTS VM to Asterisk VM
I'm working on migrating my home POTS phone system into an Asterisk PBX. Currently I have my FXO and FXS setup and working great. Zapateller is nice! I'm working on my voicemail now and currently have my 3 mailbox answering machine plugged into my FXS along with all my other analog phones. I'd like to slowly migrate away from the FXS answering machine in favor of Asterisk Voice Mail. Currently a caller can press *3 to leave me a message in my own mailbox on the FXS machine. Is there any way that I can make Asterisk monitor the line after the machine has picked up and if it detects a *3 dump the user into my Asterisk voice mail box but for everything else just let the user leave a message on the normal machine?

[Asterisk-Users] Problems with Caller ID on FXO
Hey all...for whatever reason my caller id doesn't appear to be working. My setup is simple (Wildcard FXO and thats it) and I'm just expecting the Caller ID to show up on the console.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Newbie just starting out with *
So its sounds like I do have a clue then...can analog devices have their own extension and do call parking, and paging and all that? I assume the caller id gets passed from the POTS CO to the internal phones? So from my understanding I can get a TDM400P with one port now and upgrade to additional ports? Thats what comes with the dev kit right? Tell me more about Zapateller..is that the script that I've seen a description of that gives the fake line-disconnected tone?

To blast those telemarketers and to improve my knowledge of PBX and telco. You have got a good start for a newbie. Yes the Wildcard X100P will terminate the POTS CO in to your Asterisk Linux Box. Then you have to figure out how to get everything "internal" connected up to it. I have a TDM400P. It can be purchased with up to 4 ports. I purchased three to save money. That gives me three "internal" extensions to plug analog phones in to. I just use three cordless phones with the base stations plugged in near the Asterisk computer. We leave one phone in the kitchen, one in the garage, and one in the bedroom. They can call each other when we are too lazy to go get one another or too far to scream at each other. They can all also share the one "external" line. Asterisk has been wonderful using Zapateller to blast those damn predictive dialers.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Newbie just starting out with *
Nice...so mixing and matching IP and POTS is ok and common then? I do care what the IP phones cost but then again I'm a gadget freak..if it has a big enough "cool" factor I may be able to justify price. What exactly does the Cisco phone get me over a Grandstream? I have an NBX100 (3com voip) at work and while it has its nify features 3com really dropped the ball on some of the features. Like 2K just to make it a true IP phone and then it only works with NT and not a H.323 gateway..but thats a whole other thing that irks me. Can any of the IP phones play a wav file as a ring tone? What about using an LDAP directory for dialing? I'd LOVE that and that may even increase the "wife factor" too hehehe. WipeOut . wrote: My .02c...(Purely my own opinions).. Get the X100P and if you need 4 analog ports get the TDM400P.. I use an X100P and a S100U(2 analog phone cordless system) and then 4 IP phones.. Your choice of IP phones are.. "I don't care what it costs" - Go for Cisco.. "I do care what it costs but still want something stylish and feature packed" - Go for Snom200..

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Newbie just starting out with *
Ok I'm convinced..one last question will a dual PII-266 500Meg RAM have enough horse power? McAughan, Matt wrote: Chris: Try not to be so worried about sound card, analog (FXO/FXS), digital (ISDN, BRI, PRI) and what is available by connecting device. The channel drivers take care of making the devicesavailable to Asterisk. In turn Asterisk makes all the features such as voice mail, call parking, and conference bridges available to the channels. Itis a beautifuland flexible design. many thanks toMark!With a few exceptionsmost features will be available to all connection methods. Yes you can upgrade the TDM400P. My thinking was to get at least two ports on it when I purchased it originally so I could call phone-to-phone internally without using our only external phone line. That way I could learn to configure and use asterisk with out annoying my friends in family trying to call in. Zapateller does not stop telemarketers it stops the predictive dialers they use. Ever received a call and answered hello two or three times before you get a person? That is a predictive dialer loaded with a list of numbers dialing all of their phone lines as quickly as possible. It will do it more efficiently than a group of agents witha phone number list in hand. When you answerthe dialertakes a moment to diagnose the fluctuations in the voice.The dialermakes a determination if someone even answered and if so if you are a person or an answering machine. If you turn out to be what it thinks is a realpersonit must find anavailable agent. That is what causes the pregnant pause. It has to find someone since you turned out to be a real person. Now what Zapateller can do is answer the phone and play the SIT (special information tone). When the dialer hears this it thinks your number is no longer in service and hopefully removes your number from that companies list. The other thing it can do is just play the SIT tones to any incoming call not providing caller id.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] list proposal
What about a wiki? I personally don't like forums because I prefer the content pushed onto me and then let Mozilla do its magic with sorting and stuff. When I do have a problem however I first do a google unless there is a wiki present. Nine times out of ten, when users can post their own answers and help evolve documentation online it helps everybody, keeps everything organized and is usually much more up to date. BTW that also means that the main developers don't have to worry about keeping documentation up to date :-) That alone should be worth it hahaha.
