Asterisk Hardware - ATA
I see that posting about asterisk interested many people in the list as I see nobody complained so far. I would like to give my tip from my experience with grandstream ata 488. I bought it from Tikal networks. It came with a very old firmware that caused me a lot of trouble. 1. It would disconnect phonecalls ramdomly. 2. there was no bridge mode between interfaces. 3. very low quality and echo. 4. the caller ID from the PSTN is not forwarded to the sip channel. 5. calling through the FXO did not work as a trunk but I would have to call dial (SIPEXT,timeout,D(pstndest). 6. forced to ring once on the local phone before forwarding call to sip. Today I upgraded to the latest firmware and now all issues beside the caller id were solved. Shame that it didn't come with the latest firmware, I would have a better taste on my mouth but may be lower learning curve.

Recommending a good printer.
Office depot is selling a laser printer samsung 1610 (350 shekel after refund) It is a truly plug and play with ubuntu and cups. A total different experience from lexmark that rather you needed to install their own closed driver or emulate an HP printer. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Recommending a good printer.
Meir, You might want to check which cartidge do you get with the printer (make sure it's not some sort of economic cartridge which means it is less then half full), and you should also check how much a replacement cartidge costs.. You really don't want to buy a 350NIS laser printer, only to be forced to pay 500 for the cartridge later..

Continuing my reviews I would like to encourage everyone to get a Nokia n800 internet tablet. I previously owned zaurus pdas and I was scared about getting a device with a builtin qwerty keyboard. I was wrong. I bought the n800, a standard hp bluetooth keyboard and a small bluetooth gps box. I already ran sshd and a chroot debian (inside it I have gcc, perl, ...) It is a real substitution of my laptop and I mean it. This week I sent my laptop to HP labs and I keep working on the nokia box. Recently nokia announced a new model , the n810 which it has gps and hardware keyboard. I am waiting that it comes out to buy another n800 instead. Why I think N800 is better than the upcoming N810. 1. N810 battery will drain out quicker as the gps eats from the same battery. 2. Someone in the list posted how to install hebrew fonts and keyboard for the n770 (it works also in n800. Having a hardware keyboard instead the onscreen locks you to the printer characters in the hw keypad. 3. I prefer typing in a big keyboard with more than the two thumbs as with a phone 4. Sometimes you want to put the gps receiver right under the sun inside the card where there is the best reception. but it is not the best place to look at the screen of your handheld. Conclusion: I wish all the best to nokia and I hope truly linux/unix hackers support them buy buying these devices and enjoying linux everywhere. P.S. I even ran a PBX inside the n800.

Re: Recommending a good printer.
On the Lexmark 232 I printed thousands of pages with one catridge. On the second catridge the printer start chunking on paper. for 350 I will not cry if I have to throw it away. It is far better deal that buying any ink jet printer.

Re: Recommending a good printer.
I'm also looking for a laser printer. My current favourite is the Xerox 3117, but I haven't bought it yet. It's under 300 shekels on ZAP and gets great reccomendations. As I understand, it works in Linux (although it seems CUPS recognizes it as a Samsung ml-1210). Here's a link: www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Xerox-Phaser_3117 And here are a couple of links about using it in Ubuntu and Debian. I run Mandriva, but that shouldn't matter. loliboli.hu/node/8 forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-561293.html As far as ink is concerned, they claim it has a 1000 page first cartridge and full ones are good for 3500 pages. I found refilled ink for 130 shekels so that seems to be a good deal (original ink is about 300 shekels). Can anyone confirm or refute the above - preferably before I buy :-) On Wednesday 24 October 2007 01:37, Hetz Ben Hamo wrote: Meir, You might want to check which cartidge do you get with the printer (make sure it's not some sort of economic cartridge which means it is less then half full), and you should also check how much a replacement cartidge costs..
