DID's + Asterisk Security
by sil＠infiltrated.net Aug. 5, 2009

Aug. 5, 2009

While not operational (per-se) I wanted to post these questions... 1) Anyone have a reliable source for a) Canadian DID's 2) I've slapped together a creative honeypot for Asterisk if anyone else is seeing those pesky little scans... For 2) shoot me an off-list message, there is much that I won't publicly post for obvious reasons. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.

DIDww China DID Outage
by beckman＠angryox.com Aug. 5, 2009

Aug. 5, 2009

I only have two China DIDs with DIDww, but both are currently non-functioning and have been for several days. DIDww has been responsive and informative, but unfortunately their carrier has not given any updates nor resolved the issue. Is anyone else affected by this outage? Are any other carriers affected by this outage? Because of the outage I'm looking, either temporarily or permanently, for replacements. I'm aware that DIDx has China DIDs, but I was wondering if any other providers offered China DIDs without a minimum per month, such as Voxbone. I also am curious if DIDx China DIDs are affected by this issue, or if it is just DIDww's China carrier.

Hi, Does anyone use a voice peering fabric? I look at 'em from time to time, but just don't see them as a compelling option yet.

Hi all, What tools are you using to let your users of any problems or changes with an online history? We use RT for support but wanted something simplier than mailman. We'll have a twitter status page/post too. Thanks. -- Sent from my mobile device http://www.suretecsystems.com/services/openldap/ http://www.suretectelecom.com

If you upgrade BW to a new SP or major version, check this setting before and after: WS_CLI/System/ClientSession/LoginAuthLevel Its reverted to default upon upgrade a couple of times, which was really no fun at all.

Alternative IVR Platform?
by carlos＠race.com Aug. 3, 2009

Aug. 3, 2009

What I like about having the single assigned person is that the person knows your setup. I guess it doesn't hurt that im 15 min away from there alameda office and I can go sit with my support guy when need be. I've had to work with the guys in the UK a couple of times and it's been spot on. Just my 2 cents.

We are doing Meta's MOH on Asterisk as well. With Metaswitch support a lot seems to hinge on who you are assigned to in terms of your support experience. It makes for an interesting discussion topic when you start getting into the benefits and down-sides of having one specific assigned first-line support representative as opposed to a random tech for each ticket you open. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Alex Balashov Sent: Saturday, August 01, 2009 7:18 PM To: Carlos Alcantar Cc: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Alternative IVR Platform?

That seems very reasonable. Why pay for the switch vendor's overpriced Class 5 feature server accessories when you can generate them out of Asterisk? -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (678) 237-1775 _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
