Re: [asterisk-users] ADSL routers with integrated SIP QoS for otherdevices
In my experience I'm using a comtrend CT-536+ It's a broadcom 96348GW model 266Mhz Mips r4K compliant CPU 16MB RAM and 16 MB flash, adsl2+, 4 port ethernet switch, usb 1.1 and .g type wireless. I'm using an Asus WL600g based firmware because de uclibc and toolchain version of cross compiler, but there are others with diferent capabilities like Ipsec etc.. I know a t least of Telsey one. Mine is a 2.6.8.1 Kernel version with time infraestructure for mips backported from 2.6.16 kernel (High resolution timers), I have to check if it's worth... It has Iproute2 and iptables and ebtables, dscp capable and diff-serv qos. Zaptel 1.4.1 with only ztdummy zttest and libtonezone, and a mini version of asterisk 1.4.2 but I'm working on a sqlite2 and realtime capable one... No h.323, not moh although the usb can be used for a memory stick, ah... It's used for callshops with yuxins sip/iax phones, no TRANSCODING just g.729 end to end, we use this to bridge sip-iax2/IAX2--Internet--IAX2/SIP---Lucent Compact Switch--Intl PSTN Carriers because of trunking capabilities El Miércoles, 2 de Mayo de 2007 14:28, Mike Dent escribió: > On 5/2/07, Tim Koehler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I can agree for smaller installation/home offices the Linksys WRT series > > is pretty good (I'm using this at home). > > > > I'm using the dd-wrt Firmware (www.dd-wrt.com ) which is also available > > for plenty other routers. > > With QoS values set right I always have clear audio even under "rough" > > conditions (sending big mails, receiving a joost stream, big download + > > VoIP call).

Re: [asterisk-users] ADSL routers with integrated SIP QoS for otherdevices
Hi Mike, I'm using a Linksys WRT54GS (older model, I believe V1.1 or 2.0). For the office (exhibitions, testing purposes) I ordered 2 Buffallo routers (directly from the DD-WRT page, preconfigured with DD-WRT). I like to support this guys work and pay a couple Euros more for the router. The Buffallo Router also works very smooth, the coverage is pretty impressive (close to a DECT handset). At home I have a SIEMENS ADSL2+ modem given from my operator (I get around 12-14 MBit/s downstream and 1,3 MBit/s upstream). Unfortunatly it just went up in flames yesterday, so since yesterday I'm using the router as WLAN Client Bridge to my neighbours WIFI. Before that ADSL2+ Line I had a 2 MBit/s SDSL line with a Cellpipe Modem. Before that I also had 2 different other providers with 2 different other modems. So many different modems and no issues on this side. Any more questions? Cheers Tim Tim, great to see your participation in the Asterisk list and nice to see you using the dd-wrt firmware. Might I ask which model WRT you are using and if you use a seperate ADSL modem which one?

Re: [asterisk-users] ADSL routers with integrated SIP QoS for otherdevices
Well on the other side of things there are plenty of adsl equipment running linux and qos capables and "customizable" firmware. Normally you can get the source of the device with binary drivers of devices like adsl wireless or ethernet switch.. but as long as you stay with the linux version and the tollchain provided you can even compile ztdummy and asterisk to work as a soft pbx. Normally thesse devices are broadcom MIPS based or Texas Instruments AR7 ARM based El Sábado, 28 de Abril de 2007 19:55, Dan Austin escribió: > Andrew wrote: > > On Saturday 28 April 2007 11:22 am, Chris Bagnall wrote: > >> Thanks to all who replied to my thread a few days ago "SIP devices > > with > > >> packet loss tolerance".

These are the best solutions, IMO. I was just about to reply with the same recommendation. A SFF chassis with 2 PCI slots could host one S518 and a PSTN interface. These units typically have built-in ethernet and some have built-in wireless. I still have my fingers crossed that Sangoma will offer an ADSL daughercard for the A200.

Good luck and let us know if you find one. The manufacturers of the XDSL chipsets seem to be even worse than the video card companies when it comes to OSS. There's a project on SF called OpenADSL that was working to make common XDSL chipsets work under Linux. The project appears almost dead with a developer post every 6~8 weeks, but that might be a good place to start Looking. > If you're curious, I have my rc.tc script for Linux up on > http://mixdown.ca/~andrew/rc.tc.
