If they would come up with a Paid version of Asterisk, one that would use the .NET framework in Windows, something simple to install, they could go public on the product. IIRC Microsoft no longer invests in the .Net framework which makes it a bad idea for a product that would live for up to 10 years. Do you really want to bet your business/company that .Net will be there in 5 to 10 years? Linux has a very steep learning curve. A Windows application that would do exactly the same would be a home run. I find Linux easier than Windows. Installing a package on Linux or Windows is not the issue. How is a simple 'yum install asterisk' any more difficult than double clicking on it in Windows? It's what you do afterwards with the OS and package. Asterisk has a much steeper learning curve than either. It's easy to mess up the config and suffer the consequences if the box is Internet facing. Also, Windows has a terrible reputation when it comes to security. Why would anyone want to use Windows for an Internet facing service? There's a reason that Google, Facebook, Twitter and pretty much the rest of the world are powered by Linux and it's not only because it's cheaper. Just because you find Windows easier does not make it a good idea. Note: I am a Linux expert user, but it took me years to get here. And still, moving from regular RHEL 6.0 to Fedora 20 (RHEL 7) is a pain in the neck. There is probably a saying about people calling themselves experts and then complain about a move from EL6 to F20 which is puzzling by itself. The .NET framework and Windows server 2012 are miles away in terms of friendliness and on equal footing on performance. I have yet to see a large Telco or ITSP deploy their services on Windows. A while back I have seen some attempts. It was hilarious to hear that the servers had to be restarted every few hours. Performance totally sucked, components would crash and the solution was, even by telco standards, ridiculously expensive. So no, they are not on equal footing when it comes to performance (and other aspects). I don´t mean another slow cygwin port, I man a native Asterisk for windows. In fact, I would invest on the project if somebody wants to do it. If you really want to use Windows then have a look at FreeSWITCH as it's available on Windows too. Then there is also Lync and 3CX.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on Windows
I never tought this is become a Linux vs Windows fight. We have been using asterisk on linux from a long time now and happy with it. But some of our customers who has windows in their environment want to use our call center software we developed on top of asterisk. So, the question was : Did anybody ever tried to isolate the asterisk SIP server/module and make it run under Windows ? Since, asterisk 12 is using pjsip (which is cross platform already), I tought it may be possible and wanted advices. I would love that every single customer switch to Linux and Ubuntu tomorrow morning but at the moment, that's not the case. Thanks.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on Windows
Use FreeSWITCH !! Thats what you want on your winblows system, so suit yourself my friend.

We have been using asterisk on linux from a long time now and happy with it. But some of our customers who has windows in their environment want to use our call center software we developed on top of asterisk. So, the question was : Did anybody ever tried to isolate the asterisk SIP server/module and make it run under Windows ? Since, asterisk 12 is using pjsip (which is cross platform already), I tought it may be possible and wanted advices. I would love that every single customer switch to Linux and Ubuntu tomorrow morning but at the moment, that's not the case. Thanks.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk 1.2 - Windows Messenger ?
Hi, I've found quite some docs on this, but many of them deprecated... I'm curious what is the latest window messenger version that works as registered client to Asterisk... I've tried 4.7, but it registers only if I leave password empty. Am I missing something or is there any better way to register and use Windows messenger with Asterisk ? Any other sucessful experience with Windows Messenger and Asterisk ?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on windows
Cisco Call Manager does indeed run on Windows 2000. There are positive and negative facets with this arrangement. Postive: - Easier for your average IT engineer to install - Easier for the same person to maintain - Using MS SQL Server allows for replication and a workable clustering strategty out of the box - Only supported on certified hardware Negative: - The OS cannot be patched with MS fixes * The issue is support from Cisco, so only MS patches that Cisco certifies and publishes can be applied. - MS SQL Server 2000 is a memory pig - Massive and cryptic log files, debugging odd behavior can be amazing difficult - Only supported on certified hardware Now with these 'facts' in mind, the latest release is extremely stable if you have enough memory to keep SQL Server happy. The management interface is fairly well designed, and allows for granular access, so a companies help desk staff can be trained on performing adds/moves/changes without putting the core dialplan or infrastructure in their hands Cisco's SCCP protocol uses RTP, and allows media re-invites, but stays in the signalling path. So the system does not deal directly with codecs or transcoding, so scalability is releatively good. And should the server crash in the middle of calls, the calls are not interrupted. New calls cannot start, but disconnects do not happen. I listed the certified hardware requirement as both a postive and negative. It does limit choices, but with Cisco's process of validating both the OS and hardware, the is a very limited exposure that a bad driver can be introduced to reduce stability. Even though it is a workable system, Cisco has indicated that a future release MAY be appliance like running on a 'Unix-like' OS. So it is possible to run a telephony system on Windows, and get reasonable performance. It can be a challenge, but no more or less so than on a Unix-like system. It is even likely that if Cisco moved the base OS to 2003 Server, stability would improve. Now after all of that, I would want people to think I am suggesting porting * to Windows would be as successful. It works for Cisco largely because they can afford to certify and validate the platform, something a volunteer community find increasingly difficult.

Our last issue was the server freaked out and all the phones time displays were showing weird characters, no calling out. Calling into the system from an outside number, resulted in a 2nd dial tone.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on windows
Any of the more current Win32 systems can be programmed to handle near real-time events (eg, sip, rtp) just like linux, bsd, and other O/S's. Obviously, Call Manager is one such system. It's really not an O/S religious war/discussion, but rather a lack of knowledge (on any O/S that a poster might not be familiar with) on how to design/implement it in code. With that said, porting the low level drivers (zaptel, wctdm, etc) from linux to Win32 is no where near a trevial task, and would basically involve a complete rewrite of such code. Since there are very few people (maybe one or two) that truly understand _all_ the interworkings of the linux-zaptel drivers, and, I venture to guess those same people are not even remotely cognizant (no offense intended at all) of how to write Win32 drivers, don't look for asterisk to be fully ported to the Win32 environment any time soon. As far as I'm concerned, there isn't any real justification to do so either. A pbx is intended to be a near real-time system and as such should not have programmers/technicians mucking with it in a production environment. That also suggests that any form of GUI interface that is resident in pbx s/w is not only not required, but not desirable as it will lead to someone mucking with it and impacting availability. Running a GUI interface via a manager (cti or whatever) interface that is not part of the real-time pbx environment certainly is doable and has been done on lots of pbx and central office switches over the years regardless of what the underlying O/S happens to be on the switch. Those companies that have implemented near real-time systems have probably questioned their choice of O/S years after deploying production systems, but that's perfect 20-20 hindsight. Cisco (as only one example) tends to purchase the majority of their non-core products from other companies (or purchase the entire company), and in a fair number of cases, will attempt to enhance/port that product to something different generating significantly more negatives then if they would have left the product alone. I'd be one that would certainly stay away from the port of CCM on another O/S for at least a year.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on windows
Good explanation Rich. Unix was built for the riggers of the Telecomm industry. You won't find Windows running the PSTN. Unix and Linux are used where their needed for real time processing and the highest reliably. Windows is a productively OS that is easy to use for non technical people. I use both as do many of us.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on windows
Quit aware of the telecomm industry; spent 21 years in buried in techie detail as an engineer and had a ton of fun. Not sure the overall programming community would agree with real-time vs productivity assessment; lots of folks out there writing production systems on Win32 systems that have rather tight real-time requirements. -Original Message- Good explanation Rich. Unix was built for the riggers of the Telecomm industry. You won't find Windows running the PSTN. Unix and Linux are used where their needed for real time processing and the highest reliably. Windows is a productively OS that is easy to use for non technical people. I use both as do many of us. Each has there purpose.

Most of the above certainly is focused on generating another religious war relative to operating systems, etc, that has little factual basis. For those of us that really don't care about such wars, there have been plenty of Linux apps that have been ported to Win32, several of which are run in production environments (at high usage rates) without the difficulties or the reboots noted above. Many Win32 apps run in a high- visibility high-security production environment (such as intrusion detection systems, vpn hosts, etc), and can be secured if the sys admin knows what they are doing. Asterisk has been ported to Win32 systems, however the real reason why such ports are not considered production quality has its roots in the device drivers required to drive digium cards and associated critical timing routines; nothing more, nothing less. The device driver porting is not a trivial task.

I myself am a Linux person, but manage several Windows machines (several meaning 25 or so). There is definately a time and place for Windows.. I'm just not sure a real-time-VoIP server is the time or place. The real-time issues can be addressed reliably as proven by several very well respected Win32 apps including Sniffer technologies. As a long-time professional services provider, if I miss even one packet (at full nic speed) with a sniffer on Win32, I would not be able to do my job. And as a reminder, lan packets captured by sniffer _don't_ occur every 20 ms or whatever. The same can _not_ be said of TDM drivers on any linux system (as yet anyway). Regardless of the O/S, it still boils down to using the skills necessary to accomplish the development goals. Application developers don't make good device driver programmers; those good at linux driver development don't make good Win32 device driver programmers; and, those good at Win32 device driver development don't make good linux driver developers. (I'm sure there are some exceptions, but those individuals are far and few between without a shadow of a doubt.) Being semi-half serious about the GUI there also.You install X on your Asterisk server and things will not be happy either. GUI interfaces (including X) are not a problem by themselves. E.g., if X is running and not heavily used, its not a problem for linux distro's assuming the sys admin knows what they are doing with the hardware and software. Same with Win32. I'm certainly not taking any position on porting Asterisk to Win32; I'm happly with it on linux, but I wouldn't trade my Win32 Sniffer for Ethereal either. ___ --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] Asterisk on windows
It ran good because Exchange 5.5 was ported to Alpha natively. Anything else that had to thunk to the emulation layer blew dead goats, as emulation tends to do. Alpha was great, don't get me wrong, but industry politics (Intel posturing, DEC aquisition by Compaq) dictated that Microsoft had to half-ass the job. Personally, I was hoping that the CHRP platform would take hold. Funny how things come in a circle what with Apple abandoning PowerPC and OSX loading on Dells. -Original Message- From: Justin Selleck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 12:24 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on windows I disagree - I ran exchange 5.5 on a digital alpha using windows nt.
