13/15 is good, and Im not saying this is definately the issue, but it's
just a thought I had.  Download pingplotter (pingplotter.com) and run it to
the teliax server for about 30 minutes, or so.   Set your test interval to
1second.See if it makes a nice steady line, or if it looks like a city
scape (bad).

Especially take notice what it looks like during calls in which the audio is
screwed up.

 Matt,

That's possible.  I've been struggling with this for a while.

I recently transitioned from cable modem service to Verizon FIOS.  I
didn't get a big change in behavior ( I was hoping so ).

My VOIP provider is Teliax.  My ping responses to the Teliax server are
around 13/15 mS.

Can you recommend a method to test jitter or packetization?

What is the output of zttest ?

Run it for a minute or so.

This sounds like a timing issue.  Do you have zaptel cards installed
or ztdummy?  If zaptel cards, are you getting your timing from the
telco or providing your own?  I shut off the line that was providing
timing from the telco on another system (not asterisk) and all heck
broke loose.  I had called to cancel the line a few days earlier and
it took a couple days for them to cancel it, so basically had
forgotten about it.  Took me awhile to figure that one out.

Hmm...  Not sure.  But this really sounds like ztdummy is not working
correctly.  Hopefully someone else can jump in here.  The only system
I've ever done without a zaptel card have been lab systems, and they
have worked as far as I can tell, with ztdummy.

WHat version of Asterisk and what version of zaptel are you running?

Lacy,

I'm using asterisk 1.4.2 and zaptel 1.4.1.

I read the READMEs again.

I believe I need to change my kernel RTC to 1000HZ.
Also, I didn't have enhanced_real_time clock enabled, as such,
ztdummy wasn't loading properly.

I have rebuilt and started testing again.

Thanks for the replies!!

Lacy,

How I have this:

ztdummy 4424  0
rtc11156  1 ztdummy
zaptel178084  1 ztdummy
crc_ccitt   2016  1 zaptel

ztdummy is loaded, and * is running, however, I would have expected 
ztdummy to be used by at least something.  Does this look normal?


Jim

Ok, this is a dumb question, but what is that output from?

What distribution of Linux are you using?  I've never had to change
anything related to the kernel.  I use CentOS, though.
