You would think any professional company would have a test and development network seperate from the production one where they can *anounce* and schedule downtime for infrastructure changes. Those were my exact thoughts. Had I received a warning, I might have been able to do something about it.. like set call forwarding to go to my cell phone until they worked out their kinks. Unprofessional in my view. A response to their email, even an auto responder noting an outage in some area would keep me from getting so hot under the collar. All in all though my only complaint with broadvoice is that their tech support knows very little on average even about broadvoice specific things, like their rate plans and what is actually included with each package (ie which exchanges are within which subpackage for a given country). To bil this information has to exist somewhere, you would think that on a corporate level they would make this information more available like vonage does, but I can live without that. They do have enough information for most on their web site. The account portal seems put together enough.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else having Broadvoice issues today?
Its like they are rebooting their sip proxies, my sip connection has been up/down all day, when it starts to come back it returns a 404 and then finally registers. I think this is related to the upgrades they have been doing for about a week now, which I also believe are related to the FCC ruling that VoIP providers in the US who connect to the PSTN provide CALEA (wiretap) support or be fined.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else having Broadvoice issues today?
I wonder how broadvoice is? LOL Quite frankly, they still are on my personal recommended list. Last week's downtime (those few hours when nothing worked, remember?) was the first outage this year for me. And yes, I'm using those accounts actively, each has easily 10-15 calls a day. I don't call today an outage since 10 out of 12 numbers worked for me, and those two only has issues for 15 minutes.

Hi Brian, I haven't reported this yet, as I don't have an overall picture of what is happening, but A couple of weeks ago I had several machine lockups on the same day while testing MFC/R2 with a tor2. It hasn't happened any more here. I have no idea why it suddenly started or stopped. However, now people are starting to deploy R2, I have reports of occasional lockups with tor2 cards.

Like for example if the remote host does not answer then redo the DNS query... Instead of doing another DNS query, sip.broadvoice.com is returning more than one IP address, simply keep all of the addresses returned from that initial DNS query, and if a call fails on one, just try the others already in memory. I suppose, if all of those failed, performing another DNS query to see if there are new entries to try would make scenarios where one IP address fails less likely to impact service. The system would have a little more internal redundancy, allowing it to gracefully handle failover to other addresses, making recovery from similar external failures more automated and requiring less manual intervention to restore service. Almost always a good thing for a telco system. From my experience, it isn't that unusual for multiple IP addresses to be provided for VoIP services, or for one of the IP addresses to be down from time to time for maintenance purposes. As I mentioned in a previous message, I'm just getting started with Asterisk. Perhaps something like this is already happening, though it doesn't sound like it based on what I've been reading in this thread.

I have also been having problems today registering... I contacted them, but they have no known issues. It finally did register on it's own. For those having trouble with BV, try this for a test: in sip.conf, replace occurrences of sip.broadvoice.com with this IP: 147.135.0.129, explanation follows... I just got off the phone with BV support who said they are having some hardware issues on the west coast which should be fixed sometime in the morning on Thursday. Interestingly, he said that despite this problem there are hundreds of asterisk users currently registering without any problems. They suggested that maybe some users are specifying IP addresses instead of FQDNs in their sip.conf, foiling BV's failover capabilities. I *do* use a FQDN and still have no outbound calling working (inbound seems to work - albeit intermittently). In my testing, I noticed that a DNS query on sip.broadvoice.com returns two addresses: 147.135.8.129 and 147.135.0.129, with the .8.129 address being returned more often than the other...if I replace references to sip.broadvoice.com in sip.conf with the second address (147.135.0.129) my outbound calling starts working again.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else use Audacity for prompts?
Why compress all your prompts to .gsm files? Isn't * going to have to reformat them anyway based on the codec being used for the call? I have all my voice prompts as 8khz/16bit .wav files (* can't seem to play back 8 bit files). I recorded them through soundforge as a 48Khz/16bit mono .wav - did a little tweaking to compress and brighten them up - then resampled to 8khz. Quality is as good as any I've heard from any commercial PBX... It is important to me, if I'm going to use * for my business, that the voice prompts sound as clean and clear as any other system - from a marketing/PR standpoint.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else use Audacity for prompts?
I have had to work on some files recently with a similar problem. It seems that when a file is recorded in 16 bit and converted to 8 bit, the clarity is lost. I have found the following ways the most productive: 1)Record through the voicemail system then import and edit them afterwards. As long as you use a good quality channel, this operates well. 2) Use sox with -t oss /dev/dsp as the input and a gsm file as the output. -r 8000 for the sample rate and -b for 8 bit.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else use Audacity for prompts?
And then use standard Unix commands to move that recording to where you want it like /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/new-recording.gsm so you can then call it from your menus or prompts. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian West Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 11:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Anyone else use Audacity for prompts?

It seems that when a file is recorded in 16 bit and converted to 8 bit, the clarity is lost. I have found the following ways the most productive: 1)Record through the voicemail system then import and edit them afterwards. As long as you use a good quality channel, this operates well. 2) Use sox with -t oss /dev/dsp as the input and a gsm file as the output. -r 8000 for the sample rate and -b for 8 bit.
