[asterisk-users] over running my did's
I have a did with 20 channels from didforsale. that we use to let local members call to listen to a conference several times a week without long distance charges. The upcoming call is getting more interest than usual and from places that are not local so we want to use a free conference service in addition to the local conference. How can I setup a conference on my asterisk box for the people that normally call in there and also call an outside number for those that are above and beyond the 20 lines channels I can provide and the are long distance anyways so a number here or a number in iowa doesn't make them any difference. is there a way that I could call the outside conference # and then transfer it to a local asterisk conference and then hang up can call the local asterisk conference back - and if I do that how do I hang up the long distance conference when it is done? I seem to be missing some basic understanding here. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] Need help with a pika warp asterisk appliance problem.
I've tried the forums at pikawarp.org and it seems no one is there anymore. Is there someone here that can help. last week I decided it was time to upgrade the rom on the machine to try to get the newest freepbx. so I followed the instructions to upgrade. I resetup the extensions and all the other setting like it was before. I did this over the network so I go onsite to double check that it is working correctly. It isn't all the fxs lines that go into the fxs card have bad static - some so bad you can't even tell it is a dial tone. the fxo card seems ok and the fxs line that is on the main board is ok. So I figured the rom didn't falsh correctly so I downloaded it again. This time to my local machine put it the files on the sd card - deleted the file that keeps it from loading over and over and let it flash again. -- with the same results. Something it not setting up properly for the fxs card in the system - or has damaged it. fxs/1 is on the main board - it works dial tone clear and sound during a call clear fxs/2 can't tell these is dial tone fxs/3 can hear dial tone thru bad static fxs/4 can hear dial tone thru bad static - not quite as bad as 3 fxs/5 dial tone sounds ok - but if you call you start hearing clicks and pop and bursts of static. Does anyone have any ideas? This upgrade says it has a special procedure and changes the layout of the files it uses - so I am not sure I can downgrade again. I've asked on the Pikawarp.org forum but so far no answer. if it goes a few more days I will have to try something - the people in that building have been using the 1 phone and thier cell phones for a few days now - but I really need to find a fix for this. Thanks for listening and if you have any ideas I would sure like to hear them. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] I need the least expensive way to do this
Everyone seems to think a used proprietary system would be better - I looked on ebay for over a week and never found something that indicates that you can conference and have voicemail. In this day and age how can you get along without that. and for a small school without a diedicated person answering the phone I would think that an IVR would be critical. I didn't find anything on ebay that had that for less than 3000.

It will outlast ANY micro-computer based desktop hardware. Perfect for a church or very small office or retail business. I just replaced one that was installed 20 years ago, and NEVER needed any attention until it finally failed.
