[asterisk-users] seeking hardware recommendation PCI versus PCI Express E1 card (te407p vs te420bf)
Dear List , I have to make a choice between TE407P (5.0V PCI slot) and TE420BF (3.3V PCI express). I have a IBM x220 with 2 x 1.2 GHz PIII CPU and OnBoard SCSI Ultra160 Drives but it does not have PCI Express slot. So i cannot use TE420BF with it. The system i am willing to build should support upto 60 voice channels and there will be at least 10 channels under call recording. My question is will the CPU power (2 * 1200 MHz PIII ) and the PCI bus (33 MHz bus) be sufficient to handle the load ? I can always buy the card and test , and if the need be i can put the card (TE407P) on the 5 V PCI slot of any modern motherboard also, the question here is , Am i loosing anything by not buying a PCI-Express card and instead going for a normal 33MHz , 5.0 V PCI card ? to summarise is TE407P in anyway inferior to TE420BF Card ? does TE407P saturate the 33mhz PCI bus when all voice channels are used ? The most new mobos are having 5.0V PCI slots , PCI x1 and x16 slots, so if i buy te407p i test it with the old ibm x220 server and if need be i can use it with the newer mobos. regds Rajesh Kumar Mallah. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE:[Asterisk-Users] free dids on goiax.com
I have been using goiax for my outgoing and has been excellent in quality ofvoice and also the service.To put the abusers out, I propose that each account holder shouldpre-register the phone numbers they typically call. For a legitimate user,pre-registration is certainly acceptable (especially for a free service),and if we give option of uploading an outlook address book or so, that wouldeven simplify the process. Pre-registration of outgoing calls will makeabusers' job lot harder and it is lot easier for hunting down the abusers aswell. If you want, you can set a maximum pre-registration limit as well.To avoid multiple account holders, i would take an approach of comparing IPaddresses at the time of registration itself. Suppose, if I want to create100 accounts for 100 email accounts, i will have to go to goiax.com andregister each and everyone of them; then collect the IP address of therequest and check against the existing accounts; you can set a maximum capon the number of accounts that could be registered from an IP (to allowroommates). If you set a max-cap to be 4, we can have all 4 roommates havetheir own accounts with each having pre-registered phone numbers. You canuse similar tactic to restrict the service users as well at the time ofallowing the outgoing call... just my thoughts to get the great service going.regards,Rajesh- Original Message - From: "Matthew Simpson" [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.comSent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 2:05 AMSubject: [Asterisk-Users] free dids on goiax.com GoIAX, the Asterisk community's free IAX provider, is offering free US dids now.

Re: RE:[Asterisk-Users] free dids on goiax.com
Making lists of who you are going to call defeats the purpose. If I only wanted to call a small number of people I wouldnt need US48 termination. If I have to upload a contact list (or enter it manually which would be a lot more bothersome) I wouldnt use the service. The reason for that is I dont know who I am gonna call, and I dont give out my address book to some website just because. I would imagine that a lot of other people would feel the same. Now lets say a new pizza place opens up and runs a local commercial on TV. Some number if flashed on the screen but its not in my address book. I only use goiax for outbound. I then have to register that number to call to order a pizza? Not very user friendly. A friend is staying in a hotel and I wish to call them I have to add that hotel as well? For a free service, its quite acceptable to demand certain conditions and regulations just to keep the abusers away. When you use the service, the outgoing number is going to be known to the goiax server anyway. So, what is that you loose by uploading a frequently calling numbers? Its sounds more like demanding the long distance service company not to know the phone numbers you are dialing out... open your long distance phone bill and there they are - all the numbers you dialed along with the time and duration. if you want to keep the numbers you dial with your phone secret, there is no phone service in the world that can lend the service. Also, not every day new pizza places pop up. So, when a new number is to be called, you first update your calling list, and then dial. its like building your frequent caller list online. What about all the proxy lists that exist freely available? What about proxy scanners that exist to find new unlisted ones? What about the fact that with most cable modem providers its trivial to get a new IP. If a person is determined to bring the service down, there is nothing to stop him. The question to be asked is, do you want to focus the restricted resources to provide a free service on the 20% of the exceptional cases or 80% of the general cases. the choice is obvious. There exists no one ideal security solution that address all 100% cases. We have to adapt several tactics to address each category of the issue. To handle telemarketers - calls typically originate from a limited list of IPs -, we can adapt this strategy along with tight terms of conditions to avoid businesses benefit from the free service without contributing anything back towards development of the free-conect world. Instead of having the goiax down for all users, its better to device a feasible mechanism to hunt the abusers. regards, Rajesh - Original Message - From: trixter aka Bret McDanel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 3:44 PM Subject: Re: RE:[Asterisk-Users] free dids on goiax.com ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [Asterisk-Users] system crash
I used to have similar problem; after
spending a lotof time playing around the inerrupts with no luck, i simply
went to BIOS and disabled all USB and other unused ports (my * server is
dedicated one). MyX100 clone also had a conflict with myethernet
card (TDM based? ), and I had to replace it with another one (Changing PCI ports
or interrupts didn't help at all).Since then, i have no problems. * is
running very smooth.
Instead of fighting with interrupts,
its lot easier to disable unused hardware ports - especially USB ones. It saves
you from a lot of frustration.
