Re: Setting up a PBX for Israel-US communication
OK, So I've setup CentOS 5.2 on Xen VPS at VPSLink, compiled latest Asterisk (1.4.23) very smoothly according to the instructions at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/CentOS+5+and+Asterisk+1.4.x+installation up to and including the asterisk -...vvvc and stop now. Also installed the rest of the addons. Only deviation I see is that I setup MySQL not to listen on TCP sockets. Other then that I copied all the config bits from that page to the corresponding files. Now what? How do I test this? I have a Nokia E71 with a built-in SIP client which I'd like to connect to this thing. I'd like to have Israeli, a Brazilian and possibly temporarily an Australian number which will ring on my phone.

(We have 4000 free Skype minutes from our mobiles so Skypeout is very convenient to call from wherever we are). Skype is a cheap, but IMHO not very good alternative. From my experience it's not consistent. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's unusable, often it is just ok. Considering their price $6 (US) or $13 (US) with more countries it's a good deal, especially because they are up front on what too much is. Last I checked there was no SkypeIn from Israel, although it is now one of their unlimited SkypeOut countries. Although I expect that most of the people reading this are too young to remember satellite long distance calls, most of the time, it's better than they were. If you make a lot of calls to Israeli cell phones, you might want to check out Orange's deal. It's 600 minutes a month of outgoing calls to any number in Israel, plus the ISP side of a 2.5m line for 139 NIS. Additional minutes are 29ag, which is the cheapest I've seen to a cell phone, but awfully high to a landline. I don't know if they would let you take it and just use time with your own IP PBX, or if you would have to add your own system after their box.

Re: Bank Leumi site finally works from Linux
I think we should send them a really fancy letter with a few dozen signatures, saying thanks for finally fixing it. I'm not cynical. they got nags and negative rap from us all the years, they need to get appreciation too. Newspaper reporters and people who bump into FOSS zealots in Ynet talkbacks usually (understandably) see us as a bunch of complaining elitist techno-snobs. I say we should show our other side and give some kudos once in a while when someone does the RIGHT thing. (In other words, they think we are Hammas, we need to show them we are not even Fatah, maybe Hadash at worst :-) Even if it's late and partial, we can send them positive remarks for congratulating them on how far they've come instead of only (or first) complaining about what still needs to be done. So how about if a bunch of us write Leumi some thank you notes, or send them a big fancy Thank you kind of thing with 30 signatures, so they can frame and hang on their wall, and later we could get companies to get their sites corrected and we better rap in the press. We can even join hands the some computer usability SIG or ISOC, ILA or some adult computer literacy NGO that was helped by this. We should try to try and make it a bigger, more impressive gesture. Is it corny? - sure, CEOs love corny... Is it a bit kitch and looks a little out of integrity? - Could be, but the long-term benefits are effective dialogs with the next businesses that run broken sites. - Ideally, In time, such endoresment might be actually catch on, and since Hamakor won't be selling them for kickbacks, companies will actually have to fix sites to get one :-) Anyone cares to take this further?

Well aware of Netvision's excellent reputation in Israel, I switched from Bezeq Beinleumi to Netvision when I switched my infrastructure from cables (Hot) to ADSL (Bezeq). What a terrible mistake. During the time of Bezeq's great outage on Tuesday and Wednesday, Netvision refused to check and diagnose a problem with my connection even though it was obvious from the symptoms that the problem was with the ISP, not the infrastructure. In fact, I had to go back to Bezeq Beinleumi, which connected me immediately, even giving me a temporary username and password while my official account was switched from cables to ADSL. I could surf perfectly in Bezeq Beinleumi, and could not even connect with Netvision. Still, at Netvision they insisted that the problem was with Bezeq and refused to even look into the problem. Now, when I am trying to get out of my one-year contract with Netvision because I had to sign a new one-year contract with a company that is actually interested in providing to me service, they are not releasing me from my contract. They would rather hold me prisoner as a customer who neither wants nor needs their service, then let me go. So now they loose not only me as a customer, but also any words of praise that I may have otherwise had for the company. They found it right to remove from themselves the responsibility to check my service, but do not find it right to remove my responsibility to remain with them. I must say that while Bezeq Beinleumi has and may still have a bad reputation, I have found them professional and very willing to help. They have had Linux support people on staff the two times that I called asking about this, and Netvision has promised me that a Linux tech will get back to me when he gets on duty (he apparently never did). I can only assume that the assimilation of Actcom into Bezeq Beinleumi made the difference. So when you are looking for an ISP, I suggest that you look into Bezeq Beinleumi and simply pass up on Netvision. A good reputation they may have, but they are resting on it rather than earning it day by day. That, and Bezeq Beinleumi has come so far now, with excellent Linux support and helpful techs.

I couldn't get it to work; I don't really need it either, but it would be nice to have. I compiled the zaptel package without a problem but didn't install it. Lylix.net is priced competitively with VPSlink, and have ztdummy available within their virtual machines - however, their lowest level is equivalent to VPSlink's link2 which sets you back at $15/month. I'm considering switching over there if I'd need meetme and didn't get ztdummy to work on VPSlink. How do I test this? I recommend twinkle on Linux. It has a log view that is immensely helpful in debugging, and got me much farther than Ekiga or Wengo did. Thanks. Will try that. Going to didww.com I'm not sure what should I look for - Phone to VOIP or Phone to IP-PBX? both options cost $US10 a month, I don't see an option to pick the allegedly cheaper 077 numbers. There were also 073 numbers (cellcom) that were $3/month. However, everything except 03 disappeared from DIDWW and also diamondcard.us - this doesn't look like a coincidence. Perhaps someone knows what has happened? I already have a couple of 077 DIDs but this is troubling. If anyone hears about good place to get Israeli DID's then please speak up. Is there any chance that the phone companies themselves will talk to me with reasonable prices if I approach them directly? Which department would that be? Having played with Asterisk a little, and having set up hosting and stuff - I'd say that there are services that will be pricewise competitive, such as Jajah, Skype, and OlehPhone. Each one has a different set of restrictions on Jajah is getting more and more expensive to use for us. Skypeout looks OK on price up to a point. Olephone, if that's that one I remember from a while ago, looked too expensive for my needs. the flexibility that an asterisk server provides, but they take away all the headaches.

sorting mail over imap?
Hello, I'm looking at a way to filter e-mails on our Exchange 2003 server using a linux box as an IMAP client. I have it now working on my Ubuntu desktop using Claws mail but it means I have to keep it running while I'm away which is wasteful (I shut down my desktop overnight and weekends). Looking around for solutions I learned: 1. My memory about procmail not being suitable is still correct - Procmail can only store to local files. 2. The closest I found was http://markmail.org/message/esxmz6bsejt6bt6y, which mentions Sickle http://www.codebunny.org/coding/sickle/ which is almost 4 years old and depends on perl modules I can't find in CPAN. But Sickle's idea (using Perl IMAP modules to filter messages) seems to be right. What I envision is to run a script on one of our main operations servers which are always on, which reads message headers over IMAP from the Exchange server, filters them and moves them to other IMAP folders. Just like Claws does for me already but without the need for a GUI/display etc. Is there something more baked or should I work from scratch?

Re: אזהרה: נטוויזן
Dontan, I agree with you, even though I wasn't able to switch our ATM from Barak/Netvision to Bezeq Int as you did. Their support on Tuesday and Wednesday to their business customers was simply outrageous or non-existing. Half the day they asked me for my username and password, which of course don't exist for ATM connection, the second half they asked me to restart my modem/router/windows machine as it was a problem with my side. I didn't really mind them (if they would have but they didn't) tell me that it was a Infrastructure problem and was being handled by Bezeq and would call me back to inform me of the status - but the fact that they kept blaming me and my equipment - transferring me from one person to another each having less skills in understanding the problem or even what equipment I have - left me with very bad taste. I have decided therefore to move Bezeq Int, as it can't get any worse, and I am sure it will be better - as I have 3 servers hosted at their farm and one at Barak and even for that the support is better, for example Bezeq Int sends you regular emails with their planned outages, issues that have occurred - like bandwidth issues, etc - while Barak/Netvision has sent none of this in the past 3 years of my equipment being served there. While, our up time is not 3 years due to power failures at their site. Of course these are my experience and my opinions.

Now, when I am trying to get out of my one-year contract with Netvision because I had to sign a new one-year contract with a company that is actually interested in providing to me service, they are not releasing me from my contract. They would rather hold me prisoner as a customer who neither wants nor needs their service, then let me go. So now they loose not only me as a customer, but also any words of praise that I may have otherwise had for the company. They found it right to remove from themselves the responsibility to check my service, but do not find it right to remove my responsibility to remain with them. I must say that while Bezeq Beinleumi has and may still have a bad reputation, I have found them professional and very willing to help. They have had Linux support people on staff the two times that I called asking about this, and Netvision has promised me that a Linux tech will get back to me when he gets on duty (he apparently never did). I can only assume that the assimilation of Actcom into Bezeq Beinleumi made the difference. So when you are looking for an ISP, I suggest that you look into Bezeq Beinleumi and simply pass up on Netvision. A good reputation they may have, but they are resting on it rather than earning it day by day. That, and Bezeq Beinleumi has come so far now, with excellent Linux support and helpful techs. Just to save you some research, these are the prices for each company for one month's service (I researched this yesterday when I was looking to switch from Netvision): Netvision: 1.5 mbs: 39 NIS 2.5 mbs: 49 NIS 4.0 mbs: 79 NIS Bezeq Beinleumi: 1.5 mbs: 39 NIS 2.5 mbs: 49 NIS 4.0 mbs: 65 NIS 012: 1.5 mbs: 39 NIS 2.5 mbs: 55 NIS 4.0 mbs: 79 NIS (ADSL only, no cables for 4.0) -- Noam Rathaus CTO no...@beyondsecurity.com http://www.beyondsecurity.com Know that you are safe. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: sorting mail over imap?
Amos, Are you into programing? If so, IMAP::Client for perl works pretty well (though there are occasional bugs :) ). I can give you a perl script I use for handling incoming requests from users (via email) and places them into a database. You can probably modify it to do whatever you want.

I have it now working on my Ubuntu desktop using Claws mail but it means I have to keep it running while I'm away which is wasteful (I shut down my desktop overnight and weekends). Looking around for solutions I learned: 1. My memory about procmail not being suitable is still correct - Procmail can only store to local files. 2. The closest I found was http://markmail.org/message/esxmz6bsejt6bt6y, which mentions Sickle http://www.codebunny.org/coding/sickle/ which is almost 4 years old and depends on perl modules I can't find in CPAN. But Sickle's idea (using Perl IMAP modules to filter messages) seems to be right. What I envision is to run a script on one of our main operations servers which are always on, which reads message headers over IMAP from the Exchange server, filters them and moves them to other IMAP folders. Just like Claws does for me already but without the need for a GUI/display etc. Is there something more baked or should I work from scratch?

Re: אזהרה: נטוויזן
They are not the only ones who sometimes play games. About 3 years ago I upgraded ADSL with Bezeq from 750 to 1.5. At least I thought that I did; well after checking the download speed I found that they hadn't but charged me for the 1.5 MB rate. As soon as I contact 166 they checked and found that yes I was right; I got a credit out of them and the following year squeezed them a little harder for a good rate when upgrading to 2.5 MB. You can check your Download and Upload speeds very easily at:http://www.speedtest.net/index.php Left click on the yellow pyramid to do this and watch the man send and receive; you will see two clocks showing what is happening. It pays to do this occasionally it wakes up the server.Moshehttp://moshe.lee.co.il --- On Fri, 13/2/09, sara fink sara.f...@gmail.com wrote: From: sara fink sara.f...@gmail.com Subject: Re: אזהרה: נטוויזן To: Dotan Cohen dotanco...@gmail.com Cc: linux-il. linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il Date: Friday, 13 February, 2009, 1:17 AM They violate the terms of service.

Have you thought that good reputation is a matter of publication budgets? Out of all the ISPs bezeq ben leumi is the best. 2. A tip: if they don't want to disconnect you can try to freeze the account. I know 012 charges 4.9nis/month if you freeze the account. A better option is to prove them that are to blame because with the same infrastructure and different ISP, you can connect to the internet. They must provide you the service within 24 hours, otherwise you can sue them. This is a much more preferable option. Thanks, Sara. I do not want to sue them but as they refused to disconnect me I am writing a nice long letter telling them that I will take the matter to court if they do not disconnect me willingly. I cannot believe that they would ruin their reputation over this. If they would have just disconnected me they would not have even lost me as a customer: surely I would come crawling back after getting burned by Nezeq sometime. But now?
