    GOOD NEWS Incredible PBX for Elastix 2.5

    Not sure if this should go here, or in the bugs/fixes section. Installed this today on a rentpbx server, and couldn't get any trunks to register. Ended up being SIP wasn't loaded at all, and the log was filled with nice things like: [2015-05-04 14:11:11] WARNING[9082] loader.c: Unable to open...

    SUGGESTIONS Looking for someone to take over support in the NYC area

    1 about 20 minutes into Jersey (10 phones), 1 in Washington Heights (15 phones), 1 in LI (only 2 phones though), 1 in White Plains (7 phones, UCM6102), another 2 phoner in the village, and I think a couple of others spread out. To be totally honest, onsite requests are pretty rare. Oh, and...

    SUGGESTIONS Looking for someone to take over support in the NYC area

    I've been running a small IT company in NYC for the past 5 years. Over time, I've put a handful of our clients onto PiaF. I'm actually in the process of selling the clients off to another IT company, to instead pursue a career in security. Right now I'm pretty much the go-to guy for support on...

    SOLVED Vitelity - No Outgoing Calls (with solution)

    I've had this happen with 3 or 4 customers. You'll usually see a 403 Unauthorized in the asterisk logs when trying to make the call.

    GOOD NEWS Super Cheap hosted PIAF

    So far I'm using it with a GXV3240, and it seems to work well. This is on a Sunday afternoon though - we'll see how it holds up tomorrow :)

    PIONEERS An Open Source Shop

    The only thing that I've seen that most businesses won't part with is either Windows or Mac on the actual desktop. On the server side, I've had samba4 running as a DC and file servers, and we host and resell Zimbra (which is awesome). The desktop software is usually what requires Windows...

    GOOD NEWS Super Cheap hosted PIAF

    Huh, totally missed that! I have seen the FreePBX GUI show the load jump to 100% occasionally so far.

    GOOD NEWS Super Cheap hosted PIAF

    Right now I'm testing out PiaF on Digital Ocean. You can fire up a vanilla CentOS 6.5 VM, with 512MB of ram and 20 GB SSD space for $5. So far it seems like the install is running fine. I'll post back how the performance seems to be. This may make a pretty awesome solution for a cloud based...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT Success Stories

    PiaF pretty much just allowed me to save a client from a Very Bad Situation. Background: A client of mine (we mainly do IT support in the NYC area) was sold on an Earthlink T-1 for data with 9 voice trunks. They are paying about $550 / month for it, with abysmal data speeds, but good voice...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT New Grandstream GXV3240 - thoughts?

    According to http://www.grandstream.com/products/gxv_series/gxv3240/marketing/GXV3240_datasheet_english.pdf G.729 is pending. Which I guess means it'll come in a later firmware update. Also, seems the latest firmware fixed some of the bugs I was running into, although there isn't any release...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT New Grandstream GXV3240 - thoughts?

    I just got one in yesterday to play around with, and I can honestly say, this thing is pretty damn awesome. It has a lot more functionality than I thought. For example, it comes with OpenVPN and PPTP support already built in. The headset mode (when using a Plantronics CS50) detects whether...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT New Grandstream GXV3240 - thoughts?

    I'm using the 2200, and haven't run into the same issues with screen size. The shortcut icons can easily fit 15 on the screen (3x5) - is it a custom widget that only does 1x2 or something? I think I understand why they don't have the bleeding edge Android version - they probably have had this...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT New Grandstream GXV3240 - thoughts?

    I just found out today that Grandstream just released a new Android phone as a replacement for both the GXP2200 and the GXV3140. Announcement and video are here: http://www.grandstream.com/index.php/products/ip-video-telephony/gxv3240 The built in WiFi and video camera has me a bit excited...

    SOLVED Loud IP phone

    I've used the Cisco 7941's pretty extensively, and they are pretty decent. The ATA + Ringer is the way we are going to go though. For under $60 I can have a nice loud noisemaker! :) Thanks!

    SOLVED Loud IP phone

    Anyone have any recommendations on a phone with a loud ringer / speakerphone at a low (relatively) price point?

    SOLVED UK Sip trunk recommendation

    I am setting up a phone system that'll be doing some intermittent calling to one number in the UK. Would it make sense to set up a pay-to-call provider in the UK just to handle that one number? (Something like Vitelity here). And if so, any recommendations? EDIT: Nevermind, I just looked at...

    TIPS Phone Hoteling

    That looks perfect! I've got another system to build out (with 30 phones, woohoo!), so I'll give it a try and see how it does. Hopefully this works with the Freepbx's Endpoint Manager (Have to use theirs for the GXP 2200s).

    TIPS Phone Hoteling

    One of my clients has a feature with their Broadsoft phone system that they love - having the ability to 'take over' a phone with their extension. I've looked at how to set this up for asterisk, but haven't had much luck finding anything. While setting up provisioning on a phone system, I...

    TIPS Nortel IP 1535 $27.95

    Factory reset Anyone know of any way to do a factory reset if we happen to hose something? A "Press and hold these two buttons while powering up to go into recovery mode" or something like that? I would love to really tinker with these things, but I don't want to brick anything.
