They do not officially support IAX2 termination (only SIP and H323), but they will provide it if asked (supposedly; I'm using SIP termination). I heard great things about voipjet, but apparently they now actively require you to be a non-person entity (read, company) to join. I bought a $US50 credit with grnvoip and they sent me the exact Asterisk configuration for my account when I asked. They also initiated contact when they saw that I haven't used my credit within a few days and offered support. That gave me an impression of good service(TM). - The cheap setup described by Arik is perfect for call _routing_ so long as the asterisk server is only there for routing, and can step out of the communication chain once call routing is finished. Otherwise, at least with a Xen setup on vpslink, the CPU slice is not regular enough to provide acceptable quality, even for things like a voicemail app. (Everything works, but sound is occasionally choppy). OpenVZ might be better; Lylix.net might be better; I only have experience with Xen, and it's NOT good enough. I setup a Xen guest with CentOS 5.2 and Asterisk 1.4.23(?) at VPSLink and it's generally pretty accessible from where I am. Why do you think OpenVZ might be better? Does it have a known advantage in Asterisk hosting? Googl'ing for asterisk hosting provider Lylix.net indeed comes up near the top and seem to be asterisk-centric but their cheapest plan of AsteriskNow is $35/month. No competition for the $8/month from VPSLink. - In order to enable Asterisk to step out of call routing (and network routing), the DID mapping protocol and the termination protocol must be the same -- either both should be IAX2 (when using VoipJet) or both should be SIP (when using grnvoip). Otherwise, asterisk will need to remain on the line to do protocol translation. - Asterisk rocks! It takes a little effort to configure, and looks weird at first (at least to my originally telephony-uninitiated self), but in most cases, there's a good reason for the way it needs to be configured. I think it's worthwhile to try to understand why Asterisk is built the way it is, rather than just look for an easy to configure GUI. I'm still struggling with Asterisk configuration. At some stage a worker of mine got the sample echo test to work from my workplace but that exhausted his Asterisk knowledge and I wasn't able to repeat that test from home. I also tried to follow the Asterisk book (http://www.the-asterisk-book.com/unstable/) and didn't manage to do any dialing through even with the simplest, first configuration example (http://www.the-asterisk-book.com/unstable/minimale-telefonanlage.html#asterisk-konfigurieren) But I'm actually stuck at a more basic stage - I can't get incoming audio on any of the software SIP clients I tried on my Ubuntu (8.10, i386). I tried Twinkle (recommended here for its better logging), Ekiga and Gizmo.

Well, maybe this is more for future installations than for now) Well, following Tzafrir's lead, I've just installed a 1.6.1-rc1 on my vpslink server with a res_timing_pthread time source, and the sound is slightly less clear but had no choppy sounds in the 5 minutes I played with it. I assume this has more to do with the time source than the 1.6 upgrade, but I don't know that. It's possible that a ztdummy driver on openvz provides a good enough time source that makes it work better than Xen+pthread -- if that's the case, lylix.net would be superior. A friend of mine is trying them now, we'll see how that works. As far as vpslink is concerned, I've been unsuccessful in getting a ztdummy to work. It's a Xen setup, but you can only use a very specific centos kernel, no matter what system you are running -- just getting the ztdummy to compile with the required gcc-4.1 for that kernel is a lot of effort. And when the module didn't work, I gave up. OpenVZ consumes less resources. Hence you can use more instances per server. Hence it costs less. VPSLink seem to price them the same. Most others don't from my previous searches.

Re: Setting up a PBX for Israel-US communication
2009/2/26 Ori Berger linux...@orib.net: OpenVZ consumes less resources. Hence you can use more instances per server. Hence it costs less. VPSLink seem to price them the same. Most others don't from my previous searches. Tzafrir, do you know of any OpenVZ provider that charges something comparable to the $8/month vpslink plan? I know someone who uses BlueHost to host his blog for years (started at $6/month, maybe new users will pay a little more) and is very satisfied. I'm NOT sure this is an OpenVZ product but it's something similar (jailed environments sharing a kernel). --Amos ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Re: Setting up a PBX for Israel-US communication
In twinkle, try to use audio codec gsm. It is the most compressed out of all the audio codecs. I also have a ekiga account and want to try it with twinkle. If you have problems of bandwidth, then gsm should help. In most cases 128kbps upload is very problematic.

I tried Twinkle (recommended here for its better logging), Ekiga and Gizmo. Let's start with something simpler: a call between the phone and Asterisk itself: an echo test, playback, voicemail extension, or whatever. That's exactly what I tried. I don't know how to configure asterisk to have a simple echo test working. Just a few minutes ago I called ekiga.net from Twinkle and for the first time I heard the instructions played by the echo test (I couldn't get even Ekiga itself to do that). But they are VERY chopy. Probably wrong audio device but only ALSA/default is accepted by Twinkle (not pulse) option. Do you have a simple asterisk echo test setup I can use? And how to configure Twinkle to connect to such a server? --Amos ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
RAID Recovery
Hi, I have a server abroad that has a RAID setup - that server has died - I bought another computer but now I want to take disks that I have prepared here in Israel on the same computer setup with RAID and ship them. Is it possible to somehow instruct the RAID setup on the new computer (in the US) to use those disks? The computer is a DELL PowerEdge R200 with SAS6iR: http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pedge_r200?c=uscs=04l=ens=bsd Details on such a procedure are scarce. -- Noam Rathaus CTO no...@beyondsecurity.com http://www.beyondsecurity.com Know that you are safe. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
