Re: Configuring PAP2T for Home Alarm

Fiddling with the settings on a PAP2 won't make anything better, really. It's the inherent latency of VoIP that causes Home Alarm systems not to work well. My suggestion? Get a cellular monitoring solution or just grab one of the most basic home phone lines from your local telco that actually provid...

Re: Avoid Jiffy auto service

Actually, if you're really crazy enough, you can build your own OBDII interface device on the cheap. Seen a schematic for a OBDII reader that really consists of 3 IC's. One is a MAX232/233 TTL levels to a RS-232 compatible interface. The second IC is just a regular 7805 regulator (aka just use the +...

Re: Selectively forward telemarketers to voicemail (Linksys)

Freeswitch does this all for me... And yes, they're forwarded to an internal extension so I don't waste any of my 2 channels that FPL assigns to us ;)

Re: FPL SIP is not RFC complaint?

When I use the ip_nat_sip ALG, which similarly does what your cisco switch is doing, it does all the NAT transversal circus without any real issue at all from FPL's server. Is it your switch that's not recognizing the SIP packet properly? Or there's the possiblity that the netfilter team did some tr...

Re: Linksys PAP2 Line 2 usage and Google Voice set up?

Answer to google voice on a PAP2 is simply no. Google Voice uses XMPP to signal all the calls. Although they're testing out inbound SIP calling, don't expect a SIP gateway from google anytime soon.

Re: FreePhoneLine over a private (non-internet routable VPN)

Unfortunately, NAT Transversal isn't the most reliable option of getting around issues with NAT altogether, but still worth a shot. X method of this Transversal method might work for this NAT implementation, but won't work for the other method of NAT implementation.

FreePhoneLine over a private (non-internet routable VPN)

Given the amount of users popping in here asking for assistance when really there's a huge NAT issue, would FPL be considering setting up a private VPN (which can't be routed over the Internet, by the way) solution to alleviate such issues?

Re: PBX. How to?

A better switching software I'd personally recommended is FreeSwitch. The real limitations with Asterisk is it doesn't just scale up that well with a few hundred users or more. Dialplan wise, it's much more flexible than Asterisk, due to the fact it uses regex instead of the NXX format that Asterisk...

Re: Does not work at all

Personally, I never had to deal with any D-Link boxes at all, but from what I read and heard of is they're problematic to deal with when port forwarding issues are involved. I'd say get a router that can be flashed with third party firmware like the WRT54GL and use that router instead. Of course, if...

Because of the way Freeswitch works is it stops when it find a match on the dial plan, so because the first one matches when I call in it doesn't look any more, otherwise when I call in it would just call me back.

Re: Freephoneline in Ubuntu 9.10

You'll probably need to get the SIP/RTP port forwarding working correctly on the host machine if you're using NAT for the guests network connectivity. A easy way to mange this is probably using netfilter's ip_nat_sip module. But if you're just simply bridging the host network's NIC to the guest NIC ...
