VPRI is just a marketing-guy term for a SIP Trunk.... That's all.
I too would love to see a Jira on that dropped call issue, I
don't recall this one nor do we have any customers screaming
about this.
As far as an open source mailing list, it is what it is...
That's what we have pay-for support for ;-)
Thanks,
Mike

Mike, contrary to what you say here, I specifically am not
sure what a VPRI
is, and yes, after your sigh response, I Googled it and tried
to find a
definition of what it was exactly.
With a telco background, PRI is very specific to me. VPRI
could be one of
many things, and I really was asking what it was in the frame
of your
questions. It wasn't meant to be condescending, and if it
was, I apologize.
VPRI has nothing to do with me, and apparently is not
something that anyone
knows anything about, except the company marketing with that
name, so I will
not respond further on this thread.

Sigh... because you took the time to agree with Tony, giving
me grief while
at the same time pointing out that you were not doing that.
Of course you
were. Since Tony had already made his point, why did you need
to bring it up
again?
You then post a separate reply to the original question when
just before
that, you told me you didn't know what I was talking about.
Sigh because as soon as I point out the obvious such as I am
now having to
do, a few of you must at all costs have fun with this,
turning the persons
post into garbage making points like 'we need to understand'.
Does someone
else feel the need still?
Of course you know what I was asking about, I've seen plenty
of people
talking about virtual PRI's. Who the heck would not know that
a VPRI might
simply be an abbreviation. Doesn't seem to be at the moment
but give it time
maybe :).
Bottom line is that there are a few old timers on this list
that seem to
feel the need to be hard nosed to people. Why? Maybe a few of
the users are
simply too freaking serious for no good reason. Give it a
rest. There is no
reason to be like that with ANYONE on this list.
No one makes you reply to anything, you don't have to. If you
don't like how
someone posts something, it's not your place to be the
teacher or know it
all and tell them how they need to learn everything about
VoIP before ever
taking the chance of using the wrong term while asking a
question. God
forbid!
>That's all I'm saying, and I think that is what Tony was

A virtual PRI is really just a billing method for a SIP
trunk. Figured
pretty much anyone on this list would know that.
The question really was, how do I set up sipx so that I can
use IP
authentication to the ITSP over user/password.
Anyways, moving on...
