00:00.41brif8curious to what network / infrastructure does nufone, etc.. connect to, to offer the rates as low as 3.9c/min ?
00:01.09brif8telco still charges for T1 calls +/- 5-7 c/min ?
00:01.09eprestonwhat would case a "Dial End" event on the channel right at the beginning of "Dial" app?

00:02.36tessierAnyone know what digiums lead time on T1 cards normally is?
00:02.48brif8<PROTECTED>
00:02.49file[desk]two years!
00:02.59ManxPowerNufone is 2.9/cents/min for USA calls
00:03.25habakukif you can register to them
00:03.36ManxPowerbrif8: Nufone has some LARGE corporate customers and so get VERY good wholesale rates from the telcos.
00:03.42brif8even 2.9 c/min how, since a telco charges 5-7 c/min for a T1 call
00:03.53ManxPowerbrif8: They don't.
00:03.54eprestonanyone here know the chan driver code well? I could use some help/info in a pvt chan
00:04.02ManxPowerbrif8: Where do you get those numbers from????
00:04.08brif8sprint
00:04.09mitchel_does anyone know a company with a better charge per minute then nufone?
00:04.27ManxPowerHeck, I get 7/cents/min as a RETAIL customer of IDT
00:04.37file[desk]mitchel_: nope. :)
00:04.44ManxPowerAnd TalkAmerica had 5/cents/min for a long time.
00:04.49machinehdsomeone in here must use Asterisk for sip -> pstn calls?
00:04.58brif8I'm looking to get a T1 line and sprint (our local telco) says a T1 is $795 per month plus 6c/min
00:05.01Carpanyone know who wrote agi-ccard.agi?
00:05.10file[desk]bkw_ did
00:05.14ManxPowerbrif8: Tell them you will comit to 10,000mins/month.
00:05.23jjhallMy POTS provider charges $.05 per minute, with a $20 per month cap.  You can bet they are paying less than what Nufone charges... LOL
00:05.36ManxPowerThey will give you the T-1 for free and charge you some horribly low (sometimes less than 1 cent/mon) rate.
00:05.56ManxPowermon == min, of course.
00:06.02brif8wooah !!!! if you comit to only 10,000 mins
00:06.19ManxPowerbrif8: I believe that Nufone does more than 10,000 mins/month
00:06.39brif8what happens if you don't make the full 10,000 min per month ?
00:06.41ManxPowerbrif8: Heck, we got 5/cents/min from Sprint with no usage comitments.
00:06.42jjhallI'm sure some of Nufone's customers use more than 10K per month..
00:06.50ManxPowerbrif8: Then you pay some penalty.
00:07.01mitchel_whats wrong with stringing 24 lines from a normal pots to asterisk? instead of getting a t1
00:07.06brif8roughlt what king of penalty ?
00:07.17ManxPowerIt will be all spelled out in lawereze in the 400 page contract they will make you sign.

00:07.39ManxPowerbrif8: Prolly no more than just pading your bill up to 10,000mins for that month
00:07.41*** join/#asterisk rd (nobody@sivka.rdy.com)
00:07.48brif8aah!! so you'll have to sign a contract also.
00:08.03ManxPowerbrif8: Of course.  That's the way you get good rates.
00:08.10rdanybody can help me with asterisk config?
00:08.11citatsbrif8: of course... verbal commitments mean squat
00:08.18ManxPowerGood rates require contracts and monthly usage comitments
00:08.19jjhallmitchel_: Sound quality would be a lot better with T1, less echo problems, hardware is cheaper, monthly line charges would be cheaper...  Lots of advantages.  POTS lines really suck compared to the other options available.
00:08.27brif8ok what if you commit to more than 10,000 min, would you get an even better rate ?
00:08.38ManxPowerbrif8: I'm sure you will.
00:08.38*** join/#asterisk snewpy (~markl@dsl-202-173-156-4.vic.westnet.com.au)
00:09.05jjhallbrif8: Obviously, the more you commit to spend with a company, the better the perks they will give you in order to make sure they get your business rather than their competator.
00:09.15brif8thanks ManxPower: what about costs on a 1-800 number, same applies ?
00:09.28citatsbrif8: everything is negotiable
00:09.52mitchel_jjhall: it seems to me that a t1 is actually more expensive then just a business line?
00:10.00mitchel_jjhall: on a cost per line
00:10.00brif8jjhall: understood, but sprint seems to be the only ones local, here, at least
00:10.13Matthew_Ird: it annoys people when you come in and ask to ask or ask questions like "can some one help me?"  Just ask your question
00:10.23citatsmitchel_: it depends on the carrier... around here at about 6-8 lines the t1 becomes cheaper
00:10.36ManxPowerbrif8: Generally yes.
00:10.46jjhallmitchel_: For one or two lines, yes.  But depending on the options available, once you reach the 4-5 line point, T1 actually becomes cheaper.  It takes more lines to reach that point depending you your exact location.
00:10.59ManxPowerbrif8: Large companies have different t-1s for local calling .vs. toll calling.
00:11.13ManxPowerbrif8: Where are you located?
00:11.23brif8thanks guys, I'm going to give my sprint rep a BIG talking to tomorrow, as to why our rates are so bad,
00:11.29brif8ManxPower: Citrus County, FL
00:11.47ManxPowerbrif8: Most LD carriers will service most points in the USA.
00:11.54jjhallbrif8: Sprint may have to give you the T1 loop themselves, but who you connect your T1 to, and who you get service from, can usually be different.
00:12.30ManxPowerbrif8: Get quotes from 3-4 carriers then play them off against each other.  "Well AT&T will give me toll calling for 1 cent/min less than you are.  Whatcha gonna do about it, sales boy?"
00:12.31brif8jjhall: Oh! ok then if I may ask who and what are you all paying, for T1s ?
00:13.10ManxPowerbrif8: The LD company will normally pay for the T-1 if you comit to even a reasonably small per month comitment.
00:13.15jjhallbrif8: In my case here, Qwest provides the copper loops for the T1, and Sprint, MCI, TouchAmerica, and numerous others can provide the service.

00:13.31*** join/#asterisk Kumbang (~unknown@167.205.22.54)
00:13.37ManxPowerjjhall: But do you pay Qwest for the T-1 or does the LD carrier do that?
00:13.47*** part/#asterisk Matthew_I (~matthew@64-89-121-30.arpa.kmcmail.net)
00:14.07rdmattew: okay, here we go
00:14.13eprestonwhat exactly does read_channel bridge=1 mean?
00:14.16jjhallManxPower: Depends on the contracts.  I don't handle that side of things for my company.
00:14.19ManxPowerNow, IN-STATE long distance or IN-LATA long distance is a totally different thing.
00:14.28brif8man I'm sure glad I asked I knew my deal was high, but now it's down right THEFT, it also makes the 2.9c more understandible
00:14.47mitchel_does anyone have an idea for me? i get 1.7C's a minute from my t1 provider, but i'd prefer something lower if possible, also unlimited outgoing calls (where i just pay per minute...i.e. through some service online)
00:14.54rdI'm trying to run asterisk on freebsd. right now my network has only one voip phone - cisco 7940 (skinny)
00:14.55ManxPowerbrif8: Yes, but no-contract, no-usage comitment will always cause higher rates.
00:15.16rdI was trying to use example configs provided by asterisk distribution
00:15.31ManxPowermitchel_: 1.7c/min is better than most VoIP companies will provide.
00:15.35rdnow it _kinda_ works, but when I try to dial for voicemail, asterisk dumps core
00:15.53ManxPowerrd: Asterisk is only supported on Linux.
00:16.08jjhallbrif8: Long and short of it, is the more you plan to use, the better your price point per minute will be, and the more perks you can get.  Figure out (realistically) what you plan to use and start calling carriers and getting quotes.
00:16.11ManxPowerThere are a few *BSD users that have gotten it to work, but they are pretty much on their own.
00:16.26ManxPowerrd: Recent CVS versions seem to run better on *BSD
00:16.36rdmanxpower: in other words, if I decide to go with FreeBSD, I'm on my own and people here wouldn't be able to help, right?
00:16.47ManxPowerbrif8: Your local phone company will almost always have high LD rates.
00:17.04*** join/#asterisk adelorenzo (~adelorenz@201.7.92.211)
00:17.08ManxPowerrd: There might be one or two people that come here occasionally that run *BSD, but that's all.
00:17.31jjhallrd: Some people here will be able to help, but most of us are using various flavors of Linux.
00:17.32ManxPowerbrif8: Let the LD company deal with the T-1.
00:17.54rdmanxpower: I suspect that it has nothing to do with bsd/linux. It's probably something dumb in my config files, but thanks for your help anyway
00:18.05ManxPowerrd: Asterisk should never dump core.
00:18.12ManxPowerrd: What verison of Asterisk are you using?
00:18.23rd0.7.2
00:18.42ManxPowerrd: SCCP is alpha quality, so that can be the problem too.
00:18.58rdwould it be helpfull, if I show a stack trace?
00:19.11killerbeehey.. is the SIP to SIP problem still in CVS?
00:19.29ManxPowerrd better to post it to the astrisk-dev mailing list and file a bug with bugs.digium.com if you are using chan_skinny
00:19.46ManxPowerkillerbee: Supposed to be fixed today or yeterday.
00:20.06killerbeehumm...
00:20.10rdmanxpower: the problem is - I'm not sure it's an asterisk bug. it's probably misconfiguration on my side, since it's obvious that I'm a newby when it comes to voip
00:20.17todd-SCCP?
00:20.22killerbeeManxPower ..iax seems ok
00:20.24ManxPowerkillerbee: I don't keep the messages from the asterisk-cvs mailing list do I don't know for sure.
00:20.35todd-rd: are you doing CME ?
00:20.44ManxPowertodd-: SCCP aka Skinny aka Cisco secret protocol for use with Cisco Call Manager
00:20.50rdtodd: what's a CME?
00:21.02ManxPowertodd-: Some Cisco phones only run SCCP/Skinny not SIP
00:21.04todd-cisco call manager = CME
00:21.07todd-right
00:21.13todd-I have a setup I've just turned up
00:21.23rdtodd: ahh
00:21.25todd-that uses a cisco with CME to set a dial-peer as sip
00:21.59todd-if you have a cisco with CME you can set an option on the sip dial peer 'dtmf-relay sip-notify' and I've a patch as a wip that works to receive dtmf from the cisco sccp phones
00:22.04rdtodd: I don't think so. do you have a minute to take a look at the config files? I believe they were created from your examples
00:22.29todd-my examples? I have not put any config files up .. perhaps you may be thinking of someone else
00:22.34tclarkgota luv that ml post from Don Feuer hearing that there are lota issue with AIX providers

00:56.06brif8ManxPower: ok how then can I get non-local numbers?
00:56.10ManxPowerThe LD carrier would also handle your inbound toll-free.
00:56.36ManxPowerbrif8: Before VoIP?  You got a point-to-point T-1 line costing thousands of dollars per month.
00:56.42lanceyanyone help me with my AS5350?
00:56.53lanceyi can't figure out how to route calls to Asterisk
00:56.58ManxPowerbrif8: Basically getting numbers in remote locations is very expensive.
00:57.31brif8ManxPower: ok with the 1800, I would still pay the 1c/min or whatever I contract to right
00:58.01jjanzersweet i think I just fixed bug 1202
00:58.05brif8I was doing the maths while on the phone, I could prob. commit to 30 - 50 k mins / month
00:58.16pooh_is there a way to test MOH ? (I'm by myself with no other users)
00:58.34ManxPowerbrif8: 1800 is a different service, and would be a different contract, but a decent LD carrier would allow you to send the toll free calls inbound via the T-1 they installed for your LD
00:58.43tessierpooh_: Just dial the moh extension
00:59.28pooh_tessier: hmmm never thought of that (back to rtfm) thx
00:59.32ManxPowerbrif8: Keep in mind that many carriers won't let you add your inbound toll free and outbound LD to come up with a monthly comitment.  It depends on the carrier.

01:06.06extremishow many B channels does a PRI have?
01:06.13Moc_24
01:06.16LostFrogThanks ManxPower .
01:06.43Moc_you can switch a B channel into a D channel at will
01:06.49ManxPowera {RI has @# b channels
01:06.52ManxPowereek
01:06.59ManxPowerA PRI has 23 B channels and 1 Dchannel.
01:07.05Moc_not necesarry
01:07.07ManxPowerextremis: What are the span= lines in your /etc/zaptel.conf?
01:07.28ManxPowerMoc: In the USA they generally do.  Not all the B channels might be in use.
01:07.55Moc_Like here we got 4 T1, 2 T1 with 24B channel and 2 T1 with 23 B Channel and 1 D channel
01:08.11Moc_second D channel is our backup
01:08.15extremisManxPower: maybe related... is it normal to see the idle B channels reset all at the same time on a regular basis (possibly random)
01:08.42ManxPowerMoc: That's called NFTAS where one D channel is shared between more than one PRI.  But Asterisk does not suppor NFTAS
01:08.48ManxPowerextremis: Yes.

01:15.50ManxPowerextremis: So the channels you have problems with are not always the same channels?
01:15.51SimonRLike with dual processors or a Xeon?
01:16.09ManxPowerextremis: I assume you have pri_cpe for the telco side and pri_net for the PBX side?

01:16.28extremisManxPower: don't know to the same channel issue since its hard to trace
01:16.38ManxPowerAsterisk may not PROVIDE timeing to the PBX if that span is a secondary timeing source.

01:16.42extremisI have to wait until they bitch and then grep through a log
01:16.48extremisand I wasn't logging well
01:17.00extremissince a historical log of pri debug span isn't possibly without attaching to the console
01:17.12ManxPowerAnd I'll bet your PBX expects to get it's timeing from the "telco"
01:17.22jjanzerhey I know this sounds like a silly question, but is the current day's cvs decently stable, like no new bugs? wondering if I should update to the latest for my production box
01:17.23extremisthe telco says that they do not offer timing
01:17.37extremisso I'm assuming the pbx that I put this in front of provides its own timing
01:17.43ManxPowerextremis: I'll bet they lie.

01:18.43Q-At-Hometime to rm -rf and re checkout
01:18.48extremiswhat happens if it is wrong?
01:18.52ManxPowerSince your span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs is telling Asterisk to get its timeing from the telco
01:19.03Carpanyone know where I can find the RPM for apache?  Redhat 8

01:19.35extremiswould there be an error in the pri debug span?
01:19.56ManxPowerextremis: I don't know.  You would see errors using zttool

01:20.15extremis?
01:20.25ManxPowerYes, if you have timeing issues.
01:21.07ManxPowerOn a channelized voice T-1 you would hear audio blips during a call when the frames slips.  I don't know if that is the same for PRI

01:29.38brif8ManxPower: OC-3 for LD and Data,  isn't 4 or 5 T1s = to OC-3 ?
01:29.48ManxPowerYes, it applies from the standpoint of LD, but since Asterisk does not support those types of lines you'd need something to split the OC-3 or DS-3 into multiple T-1s
01:30.12BoRiS2OC1=55Mbps
01:30.14ManxPowerOC-3 is 192Mbps, I think.  divide that my 1.5 and you get the number of T-1s

01:30.41brif8ManxPower: ok great! and a PC can handle multiple TE410P cards right ?
01:31.13ManxPowerbrif8: Up to two cards according to Digium using dual xeon machine
01:31.53ManxPowerwell up to two T400P cards, you can prolly get more TE410P cards in a machine since they are supposed to use DMA
01:32.07SimonRNow, what kind of machine makes sense to use? Is it better to just use a low-end machine with 100 calls each, or to try to push it with more powerful systems?
