Re: [Astlinux-users] TDM400 Quality

2009-01-22 Thread Darrick Hartman
The easier but maybe more expensive solution is to use a Rhino card. 
The new Digium cards do appear to be much better than the ones with the 
Tiger Jet chipsets.

Hi Martin,

I'm no expert, but here's my $.02 worth...  I have had good luck with 
Digium cards.  These days I usually buy the AEX800 w/ HW EC.

First off, and don't discount this, make sure the card has its own IRQ. 
  This can be a PITA with cheaper mainboards too.  Try changing slots 
and disabling integrated features you may not need, like serial ports or 
parallel ports or audio hardware, etc.

Use fxotune.  Here's a link:

Yes, give your customer an OpenVPN client... problem solved. :-)

Otherwise, take a look at the arno astlinux.shim and the integration  
for OpenVPN:

addINTERNALnet "$ovpnIF" "$ovpnIP" "$ovpnNM"

basically, you are adding...

INT_IF="$INT_IF${INT_IF:+ }$pptpIF"
INTERNAL_NET="$INTERNAL_NET${INTERNAL_NET:+ }$pptpIP/$pptpNM"
NAT_INTERNAL_NET="$NAT_INTERNAL_NET${NAT_INTERNAL_NET:+ }$pptpIP/ 
$pptpNM"

And, of course allow GRE into the box.

If that doesn't work, take a look at Arno's "Firewall" mailing list  
archives for possible guidance.

[Astlinux-users] PPTP support

2009-01-22 Thread Michael Keuter
Hi,

I tested the experimental pptpd package (with the 0.6 branch 2390), 
because a customer of mine like to have that (I know about the 
security issues of PPTP :-)).

With a few tweaks in the "/etc/pptpd.conf" (and manual starting of 
pptpd) I got it running, so that I am connected from external and I 
get an 192.168.0.xx ip address. But I don't know how to configure 
Arno's FW to access my internal 192.168.201.0 network.

Any hints?

Michael
