00:10.19rgagnonSilly asterisk ignoring most of the zapata.conf file on me, and wont load the chan_zap module.
00:10.33rgagnonNow on a twin box where the only difference is the card is a T100P, it works fine.
00:10.45rgagnonOther than that the OS is same, hardware is same, code is same etc.
00:11.24Yosh_arghs I see...

00:11.57rgagnonYosh: yes it does
00:12.02Yosh_the udp 5004 packets get routed to the NAT-IP while the SIP-requests get routed to the right NAT-Ip

00:13.56rgagnonThe "digium" script checks uses lspci to find card types, then loads the zaptel module, and the appropriate module for the card found... I use the wct4xxp module for 10ee:0314 and the wct1xxp module for e159:0001
00:14.16Yosh_while the Status: 200 OK gets right to the external ip
00:14.26rgagnonI've even loaded them manually, and still no worky
00:15.04Yosh_rgagnon: you got NAT-2-NAT setup?
00:15.05rgagnonYosh:  how old is your chan_sip.c file???
00:15.11outtoluncif you purchased from digium, give them a call
00:15.21Yosh_rgagnon: erm .. .:)

00:50.09Mucklsure it does. i saw it 2 years ago at a voip-meeting in germany
00:50.33zoanever seen something that was able to give you voice
00:50.36Mucklit was a live man-in-the-middle sniffing of G711 data

02:00.25GoofBallAllows them to figure out where to point the "its your fault that its broke" finger
02:00.46GoofBallOf course if its their fault, they will never own up to it.

02:03.58rcwjjhall: look at /etc/inittab for a line that starts with "x:"

02:08.31slePPit's coming out REALLY loud and distorted
02:08.46jjhallx:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
02:09.00jjhallWhen I run it manually, it puts me back at the bash prompt
02:09.02rcwslepp: are you using "quietmp3:"?
02:09.12slePPi was, and now i'm not.
02:09.13slePPno difference.
02:09.21slePPexcept one sounded worse than the other, but it's hard to tell which :>
02:09.47jjhallMy kneejerk reaction is to treat it like windows and re-install, but I would rather learn how to do it the right way.
02:10.09rcwjjhall: not sure what prefdm is supposed to do. Maybe you can ignore it. If you don't need X, you can almost certainly just remove it from /etc/inittab
02:10.15GoofBalljjhall: That does seem to be your X server.
02:10.19Carphas anyone played with .call files?
02:10.38GoofBallOr maybe a display manager that is supposed to start your X server
02:10.49iaxydisplay manager for x server
02:10.50rcwgoofball: yeah, it ends with "dm", like "xdm"
02:11.35GoofBalljjhall: do you have another system that you can use to telnet into this one?

02:13.21CarpslePP: you ever play with .call files?
02:13.28slePPno sir. i have nothing to call out on
02:13.31rcwslepp: maybe there's some txgain or rxgain option you can use with MOH
02:13.52rcwslepp: worst case, you can use sox to change the volume of your sound files
02:14.20slePPyeh. which is a sad option :>
02:14.42jjhallIf you guys would rather move to a different channel to help and avoid OT on this channel, that is fine with me.  Whatever you prefer.
02:14.59GoofBalljjhall: take a look at /var/log to see if any error messages hit any log files
02:15.21GoofBall(that is messages specific to prefdm)
02:15.58GoofBallalso check to see if there is a file /etc/sysconfig/desktop
02:16.16GoofBallYou may also want to look at http://www.prosig.com/protor/kbase/prefdm.html

02:18.33jjhallOnly thing in /etc/sysconfig/desktop is desktop="gnome"
02:19.05GoofBallslePP: I noticed the same sort of loudness problem when I was calling you last night and got your voicemail box (not the auto attend)
02:20.34GoofBalljjhall: look at /etc/X11/prefdm -- its a shell script.  Check to see if the
02:20.54GoofBallcase of the variable (as well as the value) in /etc/sysconfig/desktop matches
