Now THAT --- I could get behind. Speaking of 'long of tooth' and clearly past it's intended service life!

I understand, Ward. It's 10x to 100x tougher when you can't control all the parts that make up your product. We're out of the woods for now because as I stated, while the PIAF3 ISO (FreePBX-5.211.65-21-x86_64-Full-1416750375.iso) houses the PIAF in a crippled/borderline defective OS ... It...

I'm guessing lack of interest, need of space, etc. There also is an issue with pkg.rpmforge.org which held other repos and that's a separate site, so it's by no means just pbxinaflash. The odd thing it was around back in November when we generated the last server == and right here, right...

Thanks Chris ... we're wading through this and I think I found an ISO that gives us compatible versions ... this will give us a safety net until we migrate to the Hyper-V model. Thing is - we've been using piaf3-install.sh to install the software on a running and fully configured Centos 6.7...

Thanks Ward. I think the best option in the short term is to get a copy of a PIAF3 that was installed as a HyperV and then migrate the 4 systems to Server 2012 and run the PIAF as a VM. That way I get the consistency of the appliance model and the backup/restore capability. Then that gives...

No I get it. Technology can't stand still but (and I say this coming from a career in Data General Minicomputer storage systems) -- we do the world no favors by obsoleting a technology between the time they buy it and get it home and unpack it. Does do-it-yourself mean that 3 times a month...

Hi Bill, Thanks for the insight. That was a direction I'd have never considered had it not been pointed out to me.

I guess I have no business beng in this business. I don't eat, sleep, eat, breathe & live VOIP. I just use it as an appliance to help people make phone calls. This is like not being able to get a water pump for my car and being told I need to buy a new car because those are the cars...

Late to the party, as usual. Is this the reason that I can't seem to generate a PIAF Green system in the past 24 hours? That it's gone?

I understand - but don't get me started on Windows. As they say, Imitation is the sincerest form of Microsoft. The way I see it is this: I have a simple phone (spa504g) at every workstation but I could use the PC itself as a softphone, so why the SPA? Because it's better built for the...

Rasberry seems to solve a major drawback to deploying PIAF. It solves the problem of a field failure and how horribly long it takes to generate a CENTOS system from scratch followed by the PIAF from scratch before reloading the backup. As many of you know, this process is further extended...

Before I restore a full backup to another system I want to be able to "scrub" the target system. In other words, like most backup utilities, TAR is an additive process - if directory "x" already exists it adds/replaces files on tape(flashdrive/folder) to folder "x" but it leaves what is already...

I like this thread. I have seen the incredible UP sides and the incredible DOWN sides of "free software" and it makes me long for a world in-between. PIAF is, even with it's problems, pretty close to that world in-between. The problem I've found with "free software" is that without a clear...

In three installations (yeah, I've hit the big time) I've deleted the default on hold music and loaded three of my royaltyfree dittys, each time using the "random play" feature and in all three installations, every time anyone is put on hold they hear the same music. Am I doing something wrong...

In a fit of uncharacteristic generosity, I sent Ward a few bucks a couple of months ago and ever since then I've been wondering if Ward ever wakes up wondering what I think ... what I want ... or just generally wants to know how he can ever repay me. (Then I sober up and wonder if my few bux...

I have PIAF on a Proliant Server at my office. Right now the only access to the PBX is ssh and VNC port forwarding through the firewall and I' resistant to opening all the SIP ports through the firewall, but I'd like to install two regular desk sets on extensions outside my office. One is at a...

I got a call from them this morning wanting to discuss what they call the "heaviness" of the voicemail system. Too many prompts, too many options, voice prompt is slow and disjointed. Sometimes I think they lay awake at night to find things to complain about... but then I can see in their...

Happy to try. If I understand your request for a chart - it goes like this: Internet phone -->Dsl-extreme/AT&T ---->Integra Telecom ---->Asterisk ---> Disa ----> integra telecom ---> AT&T pots line. In other words, I use my Internet phone to call my pots phone via the asterisk system - and it...

Background info FreePBX 2.11.0.37 Asterisk 11.7.0 I have two phones in my home office: an AT&T POTS line and an internet phone. The problem I set up a DISA "123" on the main IVR. I call the PBX from my internet phone and dial "123" I get the DISA prompt, put in the PIN and get a dial tone. I...
