If you're continuously restarting Asterisk, there is something wrong with your setup: hardware, software or both. I have many installs out there on commodity hardware (either pure-voip or digital (PRI) only with Polycom handsets) and none of them need to be restarted. Now we're not using queues; straight extensions with voicemail, some paging and followme, a little CTI (click to dial), and a 24h "page the poor shlub wearing the pager this week" for emergency support. You know, pretty standard systems; the kind of thing I'd think any small business would have. None of these are PoE, have separate switches or special VLANs or anything like that. Think of what a small 5-50 person office would have the money for. I hear this complaint from time to time, but I've never really sat down and thought about what could be causing it. Which version(s) are you running? Whose hardware, what linux distro, are you running FreePBX or straight-from-sources Asterisk? I'll take you on your word that you're not trolling. Let's dig in a little. -A. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
