 Hey guys.
 
 I'm having constant problems with faxing. All my calls come in via PRI
 to my t100p, then I have a TDM w/FXS ports that I have the fax machine
 plugged into.

Make sure your timing is being set correctly on the t1 from the telco.
 I had the exact same problem before I realized I was doing things
wrong.

Timing is set in the /etc/zaptel.conf file in the span section:
# My FXS channel bank uses internal timing
span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs
 ^
# SPAN 2 is the T1 to telco set it to get timing here
span=2,1,0,esf,b8zs
  ^

Once I fixed this, nearly all my fax troubles have gone away.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Good ringing plans for small office

 At the place I work we're using Asterisk to run our in-office phone
 system.  We have about 15 employees and a total of about 5 hard phones.
 Right now when asterisk receives an incoming call, it rings all 5
 phones, because we don't really have a receptionist.  I was wondering
 if anyone has had a similar situation and might be able to suggest some
 better approach to ringing the phones?  I don't really know what I have
 in mind, just kind of looking for what other people in similar
 situations might have done.

We have a similar environment.  I ring 3 phones, but I use a different
ring so the employees know it's an outside call and can answer it
accordingly.  From my extensions.conf:

exten = 0,2,Dial(${USER1}r2${USER2}r2${USER3}r2,20,Tt)

In addition, if nobody answers the call, it goes to a separate
global voicemail box that is set to email a notification to a
supervisor.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Do I *need* to compile zaptel?

 Now I don't have any digium hardware in this box, so I wanted to use the
 ztdummy driver before starting asterisk. However 'modprobe ztdummy'
 tells me that module ztdummy is not found.
 
 Is there a way to install ztdummy pre-compiled or is it necessary to
 compile it?
 
 
 
 If the person who packaged it didn't include ztdummy you must compile
 it.
 
 In the Makefile look for # ztdummy and remove the #
 
 On y go.
 
 
 Oh I have done that... the reason for which I am trying to *avoid*
 compilation is because I can't compile it to start with :-)
 
 Here is what I do:
 
 cd /usr/src/zaptel
 make clean
 make linux26
 
 It all goes OK until it enters directory '/usr/src/linux-2.6.7'.
 
   CC [M]/usr/src/zaptel/zaptel.o
 In file included from /usr/src/zaptel/zaptel.c:40:
 /usr/src/zaptel/zconfig.h:10:27: linux/version.h: No such file or directory
 then a lot of garbage error messages

You'll need to get the kernel source for 2.6.7.
apt-get install kernel-source.2.6.7

Once that's installed, untar it in /usr/src/ and make a symlink to it.
 /usr/src/linux - /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.7.

cd /usr/src
tar xjvf kernel-source-2.6.7.tar.bz2
ln -s kernel-source-2.6.7 linux

Next, cd to /usr/src/linux and copy /boot/config-2.6.7-1-686 to
/usr/src/linux/.config

cp /boot/config-2.6.7-1-686 .config

Finally, you'll need to setup the sources: 

make oldconfig
make include/asm
make include/linux/version.h
make SUBDIRS=scripts


This is how I do it - I know the 2.6 kernel is supposed to have an
easier way, but I've not seen/read how to do it yet.

HTH,
