Re: [Asterisk-Users] Quantumvoice vs Broadvoice - Multiline

Yeah but it appears that Teliax just charges you if cross that limit for 
every minute you go over. So it's not a soft limit, that is just 
marketing spin. It's a hard limit. Be so much nicer if Starbucks were to 
use small, medium and large and ITSPs would just advertise fixed minute 
plans as cap'd minute plans. Never ever use the term unlimited unless 
you mean it.

I was wondering about inbound. I got my first bill and got billed for 
extra minutes even though a CDR download showed inbound calls totals 
were under the softcap. I open a case and got NO response. I was hoping 
this was billing mistake but now I am starting believe Teliax is 
misrepresenting there services on a whole different level. If they are 
really calculating the softcap on inbound and outbound their webpage 
could only be treated as false advertising.

The softcap seems to include inbound minutes. Looks to me like it is
better to get your incoming DID's from one provider and deal with

If someone like me offered unlimited consulting ** for $150/month but
then said there was a ** softcap of 2 hours I would be called all
kinds of names. But if I state my true opinion of what teliax is doing
here people will jump all over my case. Look at it and smell it. Don't
come whining to the lists about it after you sign up and then figure out
that 1500 minutes/month is an average 50 minutes/day.

Compare them to vonage. I and a few people I know have averaged about
1500 a month both inbound and outbound on vonage residential accounts
for over a year now. We still have the same accounts and no extra
charges, warnings or threats. In fact vonage replaced the original
motorola ata with a linksys router free. I just told them how I was
activating my friend using the same network I had the old ata on and
noticed a great difference in voice quality. They gave me an RMA number
and shipped the new unit right out.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] sill looking for a provider

2005-11-05 Thread Dustin Goodwin
The strange thing about Teliax latency is they appear to be located in 
Denver and it's about 55ms round trip to the Denver router on Level3 
network. But then between the L3 router in Denver and the Teliax host 
appears to be another 30ms round trip. Which from a distance point of 
view makes no sense (that would be like 1500miles worth extra one way 
latency) . Of course it's hard for me to see the return route with 
traceroute. I assume the return path from their host takes on some 
bizarre route that adds a lot of latency. Or they are doing something 
strange on the final leg like a wireless link in Denver that would pump 
up the latency. Either way when there are  multiple providers under 30ms 
rtt available from NYC  it's a real disadvantage for Teliax to be up 
around 82ms. How about a nice colo datacenter guys?

Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] sill looking for a provider

We have been using Teliax (www.teliax.com) for a while now and have 3
accounts with them (one for each of our asterisk servers). They've had
their ups and downs but have been working to improve their support and
now we are now able to speak with someone during their business hours
(8-5PM MST). 


There was recently an issue with a high-latency link between our
backbone and their backbone providers. We called them about it to find
out that they had already escalated the issue with the backbone carrier
and the issue was resolved. The long and short of it is that when we
have had issues (which are few and far between) they have been quickly
resolved.

There is no question in my mind that a growing industry and growing
companies are going to face customer service issues. It's bad for us
now, but I think it's a good sign for the open source VoIP community. I
think patience is key.

Originally we looked at a number of carriers, based on the following
requirements:

1) Be located in the US.
2) Have a customer support phone number and answer the phone.
3) Accept major credit cards and automatically bill my account (no need
to recharge via pay-pal).
4) Allow for business/corporate usage.
5) Support IAX and g726/g729 codec's
6) Support Set Caller ID
7) Support multiple-inbound DID's

We didn't care about call forwarding, voicemail, 3-way calling or any of
the other features that must residential carriers tout as features. I
wish I had done my research a but more formally, but the answer after
about a week of research and test accounts was to use Teliax.

Hope that helps.

OK - I been wrong so many times this week - it ain't funny...

But - I think - this part of the scheduling change to the registration

In one update, when a remote phone/system stopped responding to qualify
attempts, the system would stop trying to verify the connection. 
Forever.

Not exactly a 'good thing'.  It would tell you that by saying Forever
but
still not good.

Then an update added some stuff to ?iax.conf? like:
;qualify=yes
;qualifysmoothing = yes
;qualifyfreqok = 12
;qualifyfreqnotok = 3

to modify how and when the system would retry these connections.

During the time between the first and second update, I would get these
messages when I did an iax2 reload.  It had stopped trying to qualify the
connection - and then the reload would start it backup.  It would
'inform'
me with the 'attempted to delete nonexistant schedule entry' because the
time of the next scheduled event was no longer active.

So in essence - it is a warning and not an error.

Actually I believe this is one of the few things that can be done

your users are in another country the state PUC cannot consider you

Re: [Asterisk-Users] ADSI phone vs. IP phone

2004-01-19 Thread Dustin Goodwin
Why wouldn't you just use your existing Ethernet infrastructure putting 
the  IP phones inline between the wall jack and the PC? There are a 
number of IP phones that have builtin switch/hub that allows the PC to 
daisy chain off the IP phone.

I'm looking at ADSI phones simply because I don't have to re-tool my entire 
building; I can use the existing phone network and (I think) get all the 
functionality I need with the (far) cheaper ADSI phones.

I have not looked at products from every company but I do know a few
offer 100mbps FastEthernet connections to the switch and the PC.

It was my impression that these phones had 10MB ehternet connections and not
100MB. Not that most of us would notice the difference in browsing the net,
it does defeat the purpose of having 100MB switches. (I believe I also saw
people on this list talking about strange things happening when they wired
the phones/pcs up this way.)

Your eyes are weary from staring at the CRT. You feel sleepy. Notice how
restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The opinions
stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] ADSI phone vs. IP phone

2004-01-19 Thread Dustin Goodwin
Seems like you have experienced a few problems implementing this type of 
configuration. My first hand experiences have been more positive then 
yours. Could you share more with the list what went wrong?  Also IP 
phones connected to ports configured with Cisco portfast have never 
caused me any problems. What did you experience?

Probably because it's well known that these setups are prone to failure
of either the PC's connection, the phone's connection, or degredation of
one/both.  It also breaks switch envirenments where spanning-tree
portfast is enabled (not as big of a deal if the deployment is in
concert with the infrastructure group, as it should be).
Vendors should NEVER have implemented this functionality into phones
unless it was working under all conditions.  Personal experience shows
that it is most definitely not on Cisco and 3Com products.  Others have
told me their stories with other manufacturer's equipment.  None of it
was good.
It's not a production-stable way to deploy phones.  Period.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Codec matching weirdness

2004-01-17 Thread Dustin Goodwin
I did find something interesting. If you set reinvite=yes then * can 
setup the RTP stream so that it avoids the media proxy in the * box 
completely. I haven't tested to see if it changes anything.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] QoS anyone?

2004-01-16 Thread Dustin Goodwin
Rich,
I would be surprised to find this.  Typically ISP's will reset all QOS 
settings to 0 either on your CPE router if they manage it or on the 
aggregation router your circuit is connected to.  Almost always if they 
support DSCP/TOS matching and priority queuing in the core of their 
network it's part of an extra charge service. If they don't do any 
priority queuing then they typical will just leave it alone and ignore it.

For those that might be sending sip/iax packets across the Internet, many
of the backbone ISPs now honor the QoS/TOS bit settings.

[Asterisk-Users] Codec matching weirdness

2004-01-14 Thread Dustin Goodwin
I am experiencing a problem that from list archive it appears others are 
running into. When I dial from Cisco 7960 via the * to Free World Dialup 
destinations that supports G.729 the call fails. The major error from 
the debug log is

Jan 15 00:11:14 NOTICE[22545]: channel.c:1481 ast_set_read_format: 
Unable to find a path from G729A to ULAW
Jan 15 00:11:14 NOTICE[22545]: channel.c:1451 ast_set_write_format: 
Unable to find a path from ULAW to G729A

So I compared the SDP info coming from the 7960, sent out from * and 
returning from the destination system and I have included them below.

Question 1: Why is * sending out SDP info that is different from the SDP 
info contained in original SDP from the phone?
Question 2: Is there a config option to force * to just passthrough the 
codec list sent by the 7960 in the invite?
Question 3: What are SDP codec matching rules for SIP endpoints? How do 
they decide on common codec. Comparing the SDP sent and receive all 
systems claim support for 3 common codecs:
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000
Now of course each device specified these 3 codecs in a different order. 
 Under normal circumstances I feel this call should complete why is * 
claiming a codec mismatch?
