Sure would appreciate one  

Thanks in advance

Never mind  

Ask and you shall receive ... I found a very helpful thread   http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=20617.0

As soon as I saw you post I thought about that thread, but reread your post and thought he must be after the

newest"

and that wouldn't be the newest, seeing as I haven't looked at it.

I'll start posting first and asking questions later

If you want a turn key solution for Asterisk try here http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net/ It's the e-smith of VOIP.

CYA,

If you want a turn key solution full stop then you cant go past something like this.

Gateway
IPSec and pptp vpn
Inbound outbound QOS
Voip with FXS and FXO ports - SIP.
Voicemail with mail notification

And it will cost less than building the same from scratch with *

That's beautiful  
Thanks BoZz and Duncan for two excellent suggestions.

Duncan,
These are great products, and coming from you I'm sure they'll be awesome. But where can I get the prices, and buy them?

Thanks,

Are you in Aus?

Those devices over *?  Is it as powerfull, flexible or scaleable?

Seems like a good option for a home turn-key solution, have you had a play with them?

I'm in Brazil, South America right now. I keep myself back and forth between here and Italy.
Will it be difficult for me to get them in these places?

Not sure - I guess you will be able to find them somewhere on the net.

For any Aussies - the local guy is Netopt - does some nice load balancing gear as well.

Man, similar devices are popping up all over the place in Aus now...  Draytek, Linksys and more offer the same sort of hardware.

I have considered this for an upcoming, medium sized VoIP rollout.  Asterisk is just a bit more flexible and scaleable though...

A bit... ? Heaps!

  I would debate that.

We are currently looking at an Alcatel solution that as well as being an Voip enabled pabx - takes on the role of file-mail and intranet/internet server.

Kind of a SME Server with VoIP installed?

HI has anyone had any luck installing a zaptel card?

I followed duncan's how to but n loading asterisk i get the following error message.

[chan_zap.so]May 31 21:06:40 WARNING[16384]: loader.c:248 ast_load_resource: libpri.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
May 31 21:06:40 WARNING[16384]: loader.c:429 load_modules: Loading module chan_zap.so failed!

As RequestedDeletion said, SME or linux would do this also as you know.  I guess it comes down to vendor support, and being a turn-key solution, which linux and SME clearly are not.

Did you follow the order of zaptel -> libpri -> asterisk?  Sounds like asterisk is looking for libpri and zaptel and they're not there...

any ideas on that one?

[cydonia]

Not sure then to be honest.

Just make sure you've got all the devels I guess.  Try posting to the mailing list (or searching it).


Cheers.

[jacobsweb]

yeah i figured out the issues, in correct version. however now every time i get a call on the zaptel chanel it locks the computer up! great when you have a 600Gb raid 5 array that i has to check though

I have heard that there are issues with asterisk and scsi.  Once moved from a raid drive to a striaght IDE single HDD it worked fine.

Duncan,
I am in Peru, if you need an Asterisk box, we could
arrange something to send it preconfigured.

Are you in Aus?
