You know, this is sort of a crazy guess, but I think the power on the telephone line has a lot to do with the flakiness of these cards. I've seen something with the X101P that lead me to think so: I have two cards and two lines. I also own a small UPS that happend to have a jack for a phone line, to act as a power cleaner and I've put the line that goes to one of these cards there. Now, in two different occasions, during a power out the UPS signaled the server which shutdown gracefully and when the power was back on , the card whose line went through the UPS was in a Red Alert state. Only taking out the line from the UPS and putting it directly into the telco socket a couple of time cleared this alaram (no, even rebooting did not help). After these two inceidents I simply kept the line directly to the socket (like the second card) and we had several power outages since (don't ask) and this did not happen. So my guess is - what makes the FXO/FXS more sensative then the PRI cards is the power on the line. Or not.

This is the age old difference between Microsoft environments and Unix/Novell environments. I like to joke that Microsoft uptime is measured in hours Unix/Novell is always in years,months, and days.

Sure is a shame that I have to run 6 analog lines to the building because * can not provide analog TDM interfaces.

Problem with ebay gear is you have to buy two of everything to be safe (not to say we do not do it, TNTs are still cheaper on ebay even if you have to buy 3 to be safe). My point is that your assumption that only linux boxes will run for more than 30 days is opinionated and wrong. Any PC platform is only as stable as the sum of what you run on it, put a single analog interface in a red hat ES on $10,000 worth of hardware and you will have to reboot every 3 days. Run only stable software on a Linux OR Microsoft Server and uptime is not an issue unless you have a need to load every patch that ip put out, in which case both platforms typically require more frequent restarts. A better solution, use a good firewall and load patches less frequently. Your boxes have better uptime because of competent and educated decisions you have made (yes that is a compliment, you appear to be brilliant) when implementing them, like not installing known buggy interfaces. My MS boxes have similar uptime for the same reason. I see the value and need for both platforms on a daily basis.

Of course not. FXO and FXS interfaces are for small deployments. We only have T1 interfaces and IAX2 interfaces. PRI in, a channelized T1 using 16 channels out, and a few calls a day out to our remote system via IAX2. Only for small deployments? How do you interface with your fax machines? analog alarm systems? pc modems? You probably shouldn't run an analog alarm system through a T1 or PRI. Consider them fragile and an alarm system should be on the most robust connection necessary. Fax machines are SO old. In my business, we use a fax machine about 2 times a month. It is connected to our life line analog phone line in our remote office. It is so much easier to send the information via email or a secure pickup on our servers than to fax. Granted we are looking at needing fax service for outbound soon, but that can be done without analog lines. Does any business outside of a ISP still use analog modems? I would think internet connections and good encryption would be the norm for those needs than an analog modem. All of my large deployments require one or more of these elements, and one that I am currently working on is a MAX TNT - SER - * implemetation with 12 PRIs over a DS3 to the MAX TNT. Sure is a shame that I have to run 6 analog lines to the building because * can not provide analog TDM interfaces. I realize I could use a channel bank, but keep in mind, we have a DS3 coming in, so a channle bank would require demux of a DS1, and then demux to DS0 on a channel bank, and ebay pricing not withstanding, that costs a boatload of money. Problem with ebay gear is you have to buy two of everything to be safe (not to say we do not do it, TNTs are still cheaper on ebay even if you have to buy 3 to be safe). Maybe you just need a T100P in your asterisk machine and a channel bank. On an ideal network, you might be able to get faxes working reliably via SIP to an asterisk machine and then out a channel bank. Your talking between $700 and $1000 if you ebay wisely and depending on redundancy of hardware. Granted it takes quite a long time before that price will equal out for the cost of just 6 analog lines. My point is that your assumption that only linux boxes will run for more than 30 days is opinionated and wrong. Any PC platform is only as stable as the sum of what you run on it, I never said anything about 30 days. I said it had to do with admin personalities. While yes it is opinionated, it doesn't reduce the truth that most MS admins as a course of maintenance just reboot machines. I have also seen this same mentality in admins on SAP deployments as well. Your boxes have better uptime because of competent and educated decisions you have made (yes that is a compliment, you appear to be brilliant) when implementing them, like not installing known buggy interfaces. My MS boxes have similar uptime for the same reason. I see the value and need for both platforms on a daily basis. I think you mistook my complaint _this time_ as to a personality trait of many of those who admin the machines as opposed to the OS on the machine. I don't like MS machines and I don't like how unstable they are in my production environment especially when compared to the linux boxes sitting right next to them. I realize several of my replies to you have been opinionated, but you frequently show your bias as well. In the end I respect your experience with * and have learned a few things from your posts after I filter the opinions out. Experience breeds opinions as much as any other influence. From my experience, I can deploy a linux solution with fewer troubles and less pain than a MS solution. So when I approach new problems, I am biased towards linux over anything else. I respect the licenses of FOSS but I am not a ESR or RMS puppet or disciple.

When I jumped from Windows to Linux in 1965, RedHat 4.? was about the only thing available. 1965??? Neither windows nor linux existed in '65. '95 would be more plausible, but RH in '95 was pre 3.0.3 according to this historical version release dates page. http://www.owlriver.com/redhat_versions.html If you have been a RH user that long, you SHOULD know how abysmal the security and stability track record of a *.0 release of RH has been. Way too often it was rushed out the door for whatever reason. Upgrades from one release to another where painful or problematic. http://www.robotwisdom.com/linux/timeline.html 1993: 02Aug: SLS linux 1993: Aug: Debian linux 1994: 29Jan: Debian version 0.91 1994: 05Feb: Slackware 1.1.2 1994: RH 1.0 1994: 30Mar: MCC Interim 1.0+ 1994: Apr: SeSE Linux 1994: Oct: Xdenu Linux Of course in that time frame I was running NetBSD since linux caused me trouble with the cdrom drive I had at the time. At that time there was _zero_ Linux representation in the computer stores. If it weren't for Linus and RedHat, I'd be a VB programmer right now. There is a certain amount of loyalty, you know... I was burned without ever using redhat myself. Loyalty is a bandaid that hurts worse the longer you use it to cover trouble. All that and I'll tell you I have been burned with debian too, but less severe and only when I was asking for it by running testing or unstable code. I was at least the one who could choose my risk level. Of course, then I have disdain for a lot of the RH users and even more for a good portion of Fedora Core users who seem to be wanting ES but are too cheap to pay for it. Either way, there is usually a lot of either newbish or blinded by a contract users on RH and FC. Both are blinded to other options and tend to not want to think much about options. That specific behavior is one that I despise in people even outside of the computer realm. I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to know a fair amount about what they are doing. Of course I am the one who will fret and fuss over the tires I put on my car for nearly a month before I feel comfortable with actually buying the tires. All the times I actually spent that time mulling the options, turned out to be a good decision. This last time I put what quickly seemed to be good tires on my car, and I am quickly having to get reused to driving my car and limiting my driving style to not over drive the tires. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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
