Re: [asterisk-users] Verizon-Vonage Lawsuit
Thanks for the answer. I've never heard that one before. I remember once I used a 3rd party component set (Indy 9) to do some smtp alert emails from a Windows application. Couldn't get the mails to go through for a few particular customers and after some research and talking to ISP's, we found out that the component set that I used was used to write spamming software and the headers produced by the component set were flagged by spamm assasin and others. Arg. Mail admins usually treat non-MTA software that send email as highly potential sources of spam. In your case, a whitelisting arrangement would take care of the problem or whatever arrangement they may have. Properly managed ISP's/domains will have a reachable contact at [EMAIL PROTECTED]/domain. The third party component set you mentioned...is it the original of indyproject.org too? The Indy 9 component most probably got itself into blacklists because of the IntraWeb framework, which most probably uses Indy 9 for smtp, has inadequate measures against abuse and the Indy 9 component creates an easily identifiable header. Whole server farms running proper MTA software will get blacklisted if they have abusable scripts or other stuff using them. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] Verizon-Vonage Lawsuit
Just curious, Christopher, what is a chicken boner? Sorry, that's anti-spammer jargon for spammer. I used to be a mail admin for an outfit that handles over 40 million mailboxes and over 200 million email transactions daily. Guess what composed the majority of the daily 200 million transactions...and their origin...and the 'software' used http://www.spamfaq.net/terminology.shtml#chickenboner http://www.netlingo.com/lookup.cfm?term=chicken-boner ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Verizon-Vonage Lawsuit
If I were Vonage I'd have a delegation in HongKong now, moving all my Telco interconnects to somewhere where the US patent system is treated with the contempt it is starting to earn. ROTFL. The US patent system is treated with contempt in Hong Kong? You have no idea how EXTREME legislation in Hong Kong against IP 'theft' is in Hong Kong. In any case, even if you can do things with penalty in Hong Kong against the stupid patents that are regularly being accepted by the USPTO, why would Hong Kong be a good choice? Bandwidth costs more than they do in the US and I doubt Vonage had their own trans pacific fibre to stick their telco connects here without having to pay reach or whoever loads of cash for their HK-US links. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Let us wait for the actual implementation before ranting too much - I have certain, not the best, expectations of any new MS products, but they might one day be proven untrue. I have yet to see anything that does turn into a mess from M$. I have to admin though that the combination of D-Link and MS does not exactly stand for highest quality, reliable, bugfree products. But they might once produce a great product. On the Mac OS X side of things... The most interesting of all this for me is which protocols they will use, e.g. wether they will talk SIP, or rather MS OpenIAX or Skype2.0 protocol, or something completely new and not just slightly uncompatible. Given M$ history, it will probably be another embrace, extend and extinguish the old. Let us see the facts: Telephone systems with more than a handful telephones and more than just the ability to call (be it voicemail, conferencing, queues, agents...) are complicated, and in most cases need to be tailored to the customers' needs. As long as the customer is not an IT-ish company, they will hopefully understand that getting all the knowledge about this internally costs work hours (and thus, money) the same - and experience is something that can not be learned in a few hours of document study and point-and-clicking. High-quality solutions need professional hands, pals, possibly yours. This will by no means be the death of the technical consulting around telephone PABXs.

Re: [asterisk-users] Microsoft launches first PABX
Obviously, Asterisk may be in the same Market Space of all other IP PBXs, but in reality it is apples to oranges. Being able to explain and sell this concept to the customer is paramount in making the sale and often times, it makes more sense for 3com system or possibly an MS system. Surely asterisk is in more than the ip PBX 'market space'! But yes, if 3com or MS can take away the 'sorcery' of a PBX, it will probably make sense for some. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

For low data volume yeah its pretty simple, but start to get vlans and priority and qos all rolled in and for most companies you've got outside help with a bill there before you know it.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk architecture
so if you have u1 and u2 and they simply wish to communicate and they have eachother's IP, do they need Asterisk for something? no. Also, in a pure SIP implementation, what does Asterisk offer and what is Asterisk required for? line/no. registration and setting up calls between sip phones. asterisk is required, I believe, when you need an easy method of getting your users to be able to call one another other than supplying a list of ip addresses and fixing the ip address of each user. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
