Re: [Asterisk-Users] Outgoing faxes with chan_capi?
Andrew Furey [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi all, Does anyone know of a way to send faxes over CAPI? capi4hylafax. With capi you can actually set up a hylafax server to listen on some MSN or DID, and * for the rest. Both systems will cooperate nicely. I have this setup on two debian sarge servers, both of them working real fine. No need to shutdown * to send or receive faxes, both systems are configured to use only the MSN's they are attributed. couic Cheers, -- Rémi ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] 4 x ISDN2 hardware...?
Marc [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I've done some testing with asterisk and I must say I'm very impressed by all the features. Now I want to create a production environment and am looking into all the available ISDN cards. The cards I've found are: 1. AVM C4 (1300 euro's) 2. Eicon Diva with 4 ISDN2 ports (even more expensive) 3. Junghanss card with 4 ISDN2 ports (600 euro's) Besides the voice part, I would also like to be able to receive and send faxes. Which card is best? If I understand it correctly, the junghanss card is a 4 port HFC card. I tested Asterisk with another 1 port HFC card and rxfax, but found out that not all faxes are received correctly. As my business is depending on faxes, I find it very important that the incoming faxes are received correctly. Does anybody have experience with receiving faxes with the AVM C4? I assume that it is fully supported by Asterisk and the analog modem to receive faxes as implemented in the hardware of the AVM C4? I don't have the C4, but I have C2, B1, and Fritz out there, all working flawlessly with chan_capi for * and capi4hylafax for faxes. Capi makes it simple to share one device between multiple applications, just configure the MSN's each app should manage, and it just works. Haven't tried it with DDIs yet, but it shouldn't be more difficult. couic -- Rémi ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and software Raid
Lyle Giese [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I used software raids and want to get away from them. I really really like Microlite's BackupEdge tape backup software. BackupEdge does not work with a software raid, only a hardware raid. I have worked with software raid for several years, and to date have not had any problem with that. Of course the machine is more prone to reboots in case of drive failure (the hardware is not designed to recover from such events), but it usually just reboots, array in degraded mode, data intact, and ready to assume it's duties. The second kicker was that the Promise (or any other) hardware IDE raids are considered software raid to the Kernel. And are NOT supported with the new 2.6.x Kernels... Promise and such are really low end raids adapters. For good ide hardware raid, stick with 3ware. The price tag is much higer than promise, but these are real professionnal raid adapters. They are seen as scsi devices by linux, the driver is completely GPL, and has been part of the official kernel tree for years. With these, it takes really niche situations to ever need scsi raid again. My experience with IDE in raid arrays is less than stellar and will be trashing them as I rebuild servers. I have had several instances where one drive fails and the entire array falls over as the kernel struggles to recover from the loss of a drive or the error messages. I have seen this with Linux generated arrays and with the Promise IDE raid cards. Besides the performance of the Promise parallel IDE raid sucks big time. Promise are not real professionnal grade products, and software raid can do nothing against hardware shortcomings. The only way to be protected is with a real pro raid controler. With the excellent tape software above, I don't think I really need them anyway. BackupEdge will generate a bootable CD-Rom that will install your last backup on bare metal after a major malfunction. Backups are not subsitutes for raid, and vice versa. couic Back to *, I have only one * installation on software raid, so I can't really make statistics, but it has no problem.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Hylafax integration
Alessio Focardi [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I have a working install of asterisk that I would like to integrate with Hylafax: an asterisk extention must be transfered to Hyla for fax receiving. Sorry for the late answer, real life got in the way lately. As you talk about isdn, I guess you are using kapejod's capi channel with asterisk. If the fax extension is distinct from voice extensions, just use capi4hylafax on the fax extension and chan_capi on voice extensions. I use that at work and it works like a charm. couic -- Rémi aka hobbes ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Hylafax
Ignace CARIA [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I'd like to install ON THE SAME Machine, Asterisk and Hylafax. On http://www.voip-info.org/, I've found this: If you have an ISDN card supporting CAPI, there is a driver that connects the Hylafax wiki-Hylafax fax server directly to an Asterisk ISDN connection. (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+and+faxes) Is somebody can help me to deploy both on the same machine (Asterisk is already running...impressive ;-) ) Don't know if it still applies, anyway here it is. I have * and hylafax running on the same machine. One extension is reserved for fax, the others are voice. I just configured chan_capi to manage all voice extensions, and capi4hylafax on the fax extension. Everything is fine, the capi layer isolates all those applications. couic -- Rémi aka hobbes ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Fax
Marcel Prisi [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi all ! Let's say you have about 6 small different companies sharing the same E1 / Asterisk server, and every company needs its own fax number. Since they don't really need fax machines, what would be the most cost-effective way to handle this (keeping fax-privacy at its best) ? Is there a way to configure Hylafax or sth one modem behind an ATA-186 to email faxes to different adresses depending on the called number ? Or do we have to buy 3 Cisco ATA-186 and six fax-machines ? Just wild thoughts here : put two isdn capi cards in the server. One is used by * as outgoing interface for fax traffic, the other as incomming device for capi4hylafax. Then configure hylafax to dispose of the faxes depending on the incomming msn. The hylafax stuff is pretty straight, but I don't know if the * part is doable as I quite a newbie there :-) couic -- Rémi ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
