    What's a good FXO sip ata these days?

    Back in the day, the Obihai 110 was the goto ata when you wanted cheap and good. What's the best cheap device these days? A current Obihai? Cisco Linksys? I don't need google voice - just a way to attach one phone to a VoIP provider.

    SUGGESTIONS Best Option: Call Forwarding PBX

    Ours too, but older people still use the book, and old women are cosmetologist's bread and butter.

    SUGGESTIONS Best Option: Call Forwarding PBX

    Interesting development. I was all set to go with Anveo, until I called the folks that print the local yellow pages. They told me a listing in the yellow pages was $50/month for one line! Then they guy tells me that the local phone company forces them to charge that price. So even though the...

    SUGGESTIONS Best Option: Call Forwarding PBX

    Ooh, hadn't thought of that. I'm putting in a computer anyway to run OPNSense on, and I thought about just making it a beefier system and running OPNSense and PBX as virtuals under ESX, but I think I like the pi solution better.

    SUGGESTIONS Best Option: Call Forwarding PBX

    My wife is a cosmetologist and works in a shop with a few other cosmetologists. Currently, the shop has no phone line - they all just depend on their cell phones. They have decided that they want a local phone number that they can put in the local yellow pages. It would ring into an IVR that...

    RECOMMENDATIONS XIVO hardware for SMB office

    I'm curious about ESXi not installing on some NUC models. Not that I have much experience with NUCs (I have one older Celeron version that is my HTPC), but I'd expect that since they all use Intel NICs and standard SATA controllers, ESXi should install with no problems. Can anyone tell me what...

    NUC + ESXi If you'd have put ESXi on there in the first place, you could be running PiaF and XIVO on the same box.

    TIPS Incredible PBX 13 ISO & Intel NUC Failed Install

    Put ESXi on the NUC, then install Incredible to a virtual from the ISO. No fuss, no muss, and you have a rocking PBX.

    SUGGESTIONS SMS for patient/doctor communications

    Every carrier that I know of has an SMTP to SMS gateway. For example, to send a text to an AT&T phone, send the email to [10digitnumber]@txt.att.net You could spoof the FROM address

    Ah, ok, I see it, it is in the VirtualBox section which I didn't read because I was doing ESXi

    I HAVE A DREAM What's Missing from Wazo/XiVO?

    Having tool tips on the web pages that give actual useful information instead of what simply what asterisk variable is affected would be nice.

    FYI Incrediblepbx for x386 system...

    As a side note on the same subject, I tried the OVF on ESXi as documented here: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=15795, and I get the same message about needing a larger terminal screen. Unfortunately, you can't resize the console window on ESX (well, you can resize the window, but the "terminal" stays...

    RECOMMENDATIONS VM for production system

    Oh,and if you want your ESX 5.5 or 6 server to recognize all the funky, non-supported NICs and SATA adapters that 5.1 used to recognize, check out this site: http://www.v-front.de/. He makes it pretty much duck soup.

    RECOMMENDATIONS VM for production system

    You don't have to shut the VM down. There are esx command line tools to create a snapshot, and copy the snapshot off to another vmdk file. For non windows VMs, this gives you crash-consistent backups. For Windows VMs (with VMWare guest additions), the snap command percolates up through VMWare...

    RECOMMENDATIONS VM for production system

    ESX and HyperV both have significant advantages and disadvantages for small installs ESXi is lightweight (I mean really lightweight - I have 5.1 running on a Pentium D machine with 3GB RAM. It runs my firewall, PBX, and a server 2003 instance). ESXi 5.0 and 5.1 will run on pretty much any 64...

    TIPS Incredible PBX + DHCP / DNS

    If ESX will run on your supermicro, install that and run PiaF as one virtual, and a something else to do your DNS and DHCP in another virtual.

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT New Install for Small Church

    Another advantage of Hyper-V is that Veem's free backup tool works with it. For ESX, you are limited to GhettoVCB (or something similar).

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT New Install for Small Church

    I think some (most? all?) Celerons don't have the virtualization support that ESX 5.5 and later require. You can run ESX 5.1 on these. There isn't likely to be any ESX feature you'd need that isn't in 5.1 I may be mistaken, but I think Hyper-V (at least the Server 2012 version) requires those...
