Re: [sipx-users] How to configure for different incoming numbers?

You know, I noticed that the devs for Asterisk/trix have a love affair with GSM for some reason. I get that it's low bandwidth but PUKE!! Even if you tell everything to use uLaw in asterisk the default prompts are all in GSM so it just "upconverts" the GSM prompts to uLaw.

BTW I hail from the trixbox forums as well ( http://trixbox.org/user/joshpatten ). I did some SCS work for Scott King (SkykinOH) a while back integrating sipXbridge with Asterisk. Works pretty well from what I understand.

The main reasons I ditched trix:
  • Asterisk's default voicemail engine really couldn't cut the mustard (very few options)
  • The configuration interface for sipXecs was MUCH more intuitive than FreePBX
  • unified interface for all components, no ARI and meetme and FreePBX and Endpoint Manager etc. etc.
  • BLF is reliable in sipX (not to mention enhanced BLF capabilities on Polycom phones that were not available in Asterisk)
  • Not limited to 16 parking lots (maybe they increased this?)
  • Caller ID stays with the call when doing an attended transfer on Polycom phones. Asterisk simply keeps the name of the party transferring the call and never visually "switches over". One of the advantages of using a proxy instead of a B2BUS I suppose.
  • No ability to group users which makes large system administration a nightmare
  • No easy way to require groups of users to use different gateways for outgoing calls (I know about custom contexts, but it's not official and it's messy)
  • Users cannot set their own speed dial entries for their phone. An administrator must do this for them.
I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them right now.

I still use Asterisk for application development but that's it. FreeSWITCH is a little too complex in my book for doing simple applications.

Before with trixbox/asterisk, call quality was no where near as clear (same hardware and environment) than this.

Thanks!!
