00:14.36 | deStone | has an office of 50 employees with a terrible phone system. Our office will soon be jumping to 100+ employees. I've come across asterisk out of hobby -- are their any enterprise level open source phone systems available? |
00:15.22 | drmessano | You're asking about recommendations for other phone systems.. in #asterisk? |
00:15.27 | deStone | no no no |
00:15.48 | deStone | i'm wanting someone to say, you know what, asterisk could be enterprise level :) |
00:16.04 | drmessano | Ever heard of Thailand? |
00:16.27 | drmessano | They're whole country's PSTN system is run on Asterisk |
00:16.32 | drmessano | Ok, it's not |
00:16.35 | coppice | well, the Enterprise is supposed to have about 400 people on it. I think * can handle that, as long as the call rate is not too high |
00:16.37 | drmessano | and I spelled they're wrong |
00:16.55 | rob0 | Enterprise solutions require Vulcan expertise. |
00:17.02 | deStone | hah. |
00:17.12 | rob0 | (I actually started out to say something serious) |
00:17.29 | drmessano | Enterprise solutions are usually 500 users and up |
00:17.29 | rob0 | ~cheap |
00:17.30 | jbot | hmm... cheap is a bad idea. If you're setting up an Asterisk system, one of the wisest pieces of advice you can take is this: DON'T BE A CHEAPSKATE. |
00:17.35 | drmessano | 100 medium |
00:18.08 | coppice | i thought enterprise was just a trigger word to make people laugh |
00:18.10 | drmessano | You don't want an enterprise solution anyway.. Microsoft sells those.. they're not so hot |
00:18.20 | drmessano | You want a phone system |
00:18.24 | deStone | see, you've already sold me. |
00:18.24 | drmessano | So start off there |
00:18.56 | drmessano | Avoid Cisco too |
00:19.11 | drmessano | They have a good idea how to run the intarweb, but no clue what users want... |
00:19.18 | deStone | Ive been on CIC and i thought it sucked |
00:20.07 | drmessano | But since most users of intarweb quality gear are 50 yr old thrice divorced, fat, aging bald guys with high cholesterol and smokers breath, they dont need to worrry about them |

01:27.30 | jblack | Anyways, my apologies for the annoyance. I think I found enough documetnation to make educated guesses |
01:27.40 | JT | whether he requires a pri crossover cable or not depends on how it was terminated |
01:29.34 | jblack | Ok. |
01:30.03 | JT | otherwise an ethernet straight through cable is fine |
01:30.10 | jblack | hmm? |
01:30.28 | jblack | I'm sure has both types of ethernet cables laying around. |
01:31.05 | JT | you can't use an ethernet crossover cable |
01:32.24 | jblack | Ok, so it may be a straight ethernet, a straight pri, or a crossed over pri |
01:32.39 | jblack | depending upon telco preference, I suppose |
01:33.00 | JT | a straight ethernet is the same as a straight pri |
01:33.09 | JT | the pairs are matched fine |
01:33.40 | JT | crossover t1/pri/e1 is pin 1 to 4, 2 to 5 |
01:33.57 | jblack | hmm. It's been a while since I crimped ethernet, but I thought those used 12 36, and a pri uses 12 45 |
01:34.52 | jblack | Oh, I see your point, if one doesn't make sloppy straight throughs.. say only crimping the two pairs necessary. |
01:35.11 | jblack | Yeah, that makes sense |
01:35.19 | JT | lol who does that |
01:35.32 | jblack | nobody, of course. |
01:35.47 | JT | a straight through ethernet should be either TIA/EIA 568A to TIA/EIA 568A or TIA/EIA 568B to TIA/EIA 568B |
01:36.01 | JT | PoE won't work on a dodgily crimped cable either |

01:36.38 | jbeez | s/thing/think |
01:37.03 | jbeez | I had an argument on irc with some guy about how he was doing his cables wrong, and he kickbanned me permanently |

03:19.43 | adeel | C4colo, haha i just asked for recommendations on PoE switches |
03:19.55 | C4colo | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833181070 |
03:20.00 | C4colo | that's the one I'm looking at |
03:20.14 | C4colo | has 8 10/100 ports with PoE plus a gigabit port for uplink |
03:21.21 | adeel | C4colo, it doesn't specify on how many ports it provides PoE |
03:21.25 | C4colo | 8 |
03:21.31 | C4colo | I looked on the zyxel site |
03:21.45 | C4colo | the Gig-E port is not PoE |
03:21.53 | C4colo | but the rest are |
03:22.11 | adeel | ah okay, just i've almost gotten stuck with crappily worded marketing stuff |
03:22.14 | drmessano | But.. But |
03:22.19 | drmessano | I have Gig-E phones :( |
03:22.29 | adeel | drmessano, seriously? |
03:22.31 | C4colo | hahaha |
03:22.41 | drmessano | adeel: Stop drooling.. |
03:22.52 | adeel | drmessano, haha, just double checking |
03:23.01 | C4colo | yea, he has al 100 of them daisy-chained because he is a cheapskate |
03:23.04 | drmessano | adeel: Go recompile your G722 wideband codec |
03:23.13 | adeel | drmessano, that was a really weak insult |
03:23.16 | drmessano | lol |
03:23.17 | C4colo | spent an extra $400 per phone so he didn't have to run $80 worth of wire |
03:23.27 | adeel | hahah |
03:23.43 | drmessano | lol |
03:23.52 | C4colo | what makes that funny is that it is true most of the time |
03:24.01 | drmessano | Don't be a whore to marketing |
03:24.04 | C4colo | I can't tell you how many customers I have had to talk out of that type of thinking |
03:24.21 | adeel | drmessano, oh i'm not, i just wasn't planning on reading the full manual before buying the damned thing |
03:24.26 | drmessano | a Gig-E phone is useless |
03:24.30 | adeel | yeah i know |
03:24.33 | drmessano | Ok, good |
03:24.40 | adeel | gig-e uses all 8 of twisted pair |
03:24.52 | JT | 4 pairs :) |
03:24.57 | drmessano | because I know someone people that would sell a nut for a Gig-E phone if I presented them one |
03:24.58 | adeel | sorry, 8 pins |
03:25.01 | drmessano | For.. no reason |
03:25.05 | adeel | hahahah |
03:25.29 | adeel | sell a nut, huh? anyone here lost a nut to testicle cancer and in the market to replace? |
03:25.40 | drmessano | The same people who submit daily feature requests for G722 |
03:25.52 | adeel | haha |
03:25.53 | drmessano | "I need G722.. NOW.. FASTER" |
03:26.03 | drmessano | "Must.... Have Hi-Def... VoIP" |
03:26.03 | adeel | i actually read an article on why g722 is utterly pointless |
03:26.15 | TrentCreek | No//I need it yesterday |
03:26.15 | adeel | didn't really need an article to point that out |
03:26.33 | adeel | but it's nice at times to have your thoughts validated |
03:26.37 | drmessano | G722 (YAY) ----> PSTN (Uhhhh) ------> G722 (Huh?) |
03:27.01 | adeel | it's like 'clean coal'....people believe what they want to |
03:27.05 | drmessano | I want a 3MHZ wide audio codec |
03:27.25 | drmessano | I want to hear an ant fart over VoIP |
03:27.45 | adeel | but i don't want to use more than 8 kbit/s for bandwidth |
03:27.57 | JT | tell a pointy haired boss that G.722 is pointless when they whine that this newfangled voip doesn't sound near as good as skype |
03:28.13 | drmessano | AT&T has the "So clear, you can hear a pin drop".. Asterisk needs to be able to transport an ant fart over 10000 miles via VoIP |
03:28.46 | adeel | JT, but that's because skype calls normally don't terminate over PSTN |
03:28.59 | drmessano | JT: Then explain to him why he just spent $300 on those G729 licenses? |
03:29.36 | JT | drmessano: well g.722 is good for intra organisation stuff |
03:29.52 | JT | g.729 is good for being stingey with Internet bandwidth |
03:30.29 | drmessano | I know.. point was.. If he's gonna complain, better not sell him on using G729 to save b/w |
03:30.45 | drmessano | make him buy more pipe and use G711 |
03:30.46 | *** join/#asterisk C4colo (n=DJpyro@66.185.107.14) |
03:30.48 | C4colo | yea |
03:33.38 | adeel | drmessano, well even then, he'd have to dedicate that pipe specifically for voip otherwise he'll still have 'intermittent' voice distortion |
03:34.19 | *** join/#asterisk tobias (n=tobias@cpe-076-182-057-234.nc.res.rr.com) |
03:34.32 | JT | not if QoS is used |
03:35.00 | adeel | JT, i've implemented QoS and STILL don't get 100% voice quality |
03:35.29 | drmessano | Thats your internet then |
03:35.38 | adeel | on a T1? |
03:35.47 | drmessano | You QoS up to the router and solve the "dedicated bandwidth" problem |
03:36.03 | drmessano | But once it goes to the outside.. it's anyones game |
03:36.12 | adeel | yeah, that much i'm aware |
03:36.14 | drmessano | There's nothing special about a T1 |
03:36.24 | drmessano | Unless it's 1998 again |
03:36.42 | adeel | drmessano, gaurenteed bandwidth, versus DSL/cable which is truely best effort |
03:37.06 | drmessano | Guaranteed bandwidth, not guaranteed transport of packets from source to destination |
03:37.18 | adeel | my network setup is fairly simple....computer --> polycom --> d-link 1228p switch --> router --> t1 |
03:37.20 | JayTee52 | wonders how sensitive a microphone would be to pickup an ant fart |
03:37.35 | adeel | QoS is done on the router |
03:37.40 | adeel | JayTee52, pretty damn sensitive |
03:38.05 | JT | you can guarantee bandwidth over dsl too |
03:38.10 | drmessano | DSL, Cable, or a T1 have about the same chance of making a quality voice call over the internet |
03:38.38 | drmessano | Which is anywhere from 0% to 100%... give or take 5% |
03:38.41 | JT | cable is almost always contended |
03:38.47 | JT | both T1 and dsl can be uncontended |
03:38.51 | sbingner | cable is best effort, dsl is guranteed bandwidth as much as T1 is |
03:38.57 | JT | sbingner: indeed |
03:39.05 | adeel | well it depends upon the DSL service you have |
03:39.08 | JayTee52 | voip within an organization with sufficient network bandwidth is one thing, using the internet for calls is still a crap shoot and the quality is going to be less than ideal. |
03:39.14 | drmessano | Since when is the amount of guaranteed bandwidth the problem? lol |
03:39.16 | sbingner | DSL by NATURE is point-to-point to your ISP |
03:39.20 | JT | here's a news flash to some: almost all T1 services these days are delivered over DSL |
03:40.07 | drmessano | A T1 to my carrier ---> ???????????? <--- other end of the call.. |
03:40.16 | sbingner | nods |
03:40.24 | drmessano | thats why I said |
03:40.36 | drmessano | DSL, T1, Cable.. Same roulette |
03:40.37 | JayTee52 | mine are delivered over a OC3 and dropped at the fiber mux |
03:41.12 | drmessano | An OC45 is great if your ITSP is using 256k DSL for your call |
03:41.26 | adeel | hehe |
03:41.29 | sbingner | lol |
03:41.33 | drmessano | or if they're 115 miles down a copper pair from the central office |
03:41.44 | JT | my E1s are delivered over raw 2 pair |
03:41.47 | JayTee52 | I've just got two T1's for PRI so my outbound/inbound is still just 64kbps per channel |
03:41.53 | JayTee52 | clear enough though. |
03:41.53 | JT | but they only run down 2 floors to the telco's mux |
03:42.05 | JT | which uses SDH |
03:42.35 | drmessano | Really.. The amount of bandwidth you pay for just increases the size of your funnel.. you're still catching that same erratic stream of water.. you can just catch more of it |
03:43.43 | adeel | drmessano, i agree |
03:44.55 | JayTee52 | even if I setup * at work to handle NAT and tried to route calls to an * box here at home I doubt I'd have much luck. My ISP is Comcast and my ISP/Telco at work is Time Warner |
03:45.47 | C4colo | most T1s are HDSL now anyway |
03:46.11 | C4colo | since it doesn't require the amplifiers every 6000m |
03:46.23 | drmessano | I make a lot high quality calls over Comcast |
03:46.37 | drmessano | Actually, Comcast seems to work better than DSL here... |
03:47.00 | C4colo | comcast works better/worse than DSL depending on the rest of the loop |
03:47.12 | *** join/#asterisk apollonx (n=admin@193.19.189.38.STATIC.ISP.KZ) |
03:47.14 | C4colo | in the high-population-density areas of Denver DSL is better |
03:47.37 | C4colo | in the more rural, suburban areas Comcast has better speeds and is less congested |
03:47.43 | C4colo | although DSL is at least consistant |
03:47.50 | drmessano | They had some VERY bad latency issues for a while.. but they seem to have worked them out.. right around the time those IP addressible digital TV boxes got popular |
03:47.58 | C4colo | hah |
03:48.06 | C4colo | interesting |
03:48.21 | *** join/#asterisk stkn_ (n=stkn@gentoo/developer/pdpc.active.stkn) |
03:48.27 | C4colo | so they weren't degrading the quality of the competitiors, they just had no incentive to improve the quality |
03:48.33 | drmessano | Comcast Digital TV and their Digital Voice fixed the internet service |
03:48.49 | drmessano | Now that they have a good reason for the internet not to suck |
03:48.50 | C4colo | there was a big thing about comcast degrading competing VoIP providers |
03:49.03 | drmessano | yeah.. I haven't seen that |
03:49.05 | drmessano | I mean |
03:49.07 | drmessano | Experiencec |
03:49.08 | drmessano | Experienced |
03:49.16 | C4colo | I'm going to talk to my boss about getting a DS3 at home |
03:49.42 | drmessano | The PAP2 at my Mother in Laws house on my Asterisk box sounds better than her Comcast digital voice though |
03:49.47 | drmessano | So mark 1 for * |
03:50.29 | drmessano | I think they're using G.UH.WUT for their codec |
03:51.23 | C4colo | lol |
03:52.37 | C4colo | "(for instance, your laptop probably has a T1 jack in its side..." |
03:52.48 | C4colo | MY LAPTOP DOESN"T HAVE A T1 JACK! |
03:52.53 | drmessano | R O F L |
03:52.57 | C4colo | where do I get one of these? |
03:53.09 | drmessano | Just use a crossover cable |
03:53.28 | drmessano | 1 to 2, 3 to 6, 4 to 8, 7 to 9 |
03:53.35 | C4colo | actually, if my laptop came with a 1.5Mbps port instead of a 10/100 Ethernet port I'd complain |
03:53.55 | C4colo | although if it had both... |
03:53.57 | C4colo | hmm |
03:54.04 | C4colo | no, there is no reason to put a T1 port on a laptop |
03:54.43 | drmessano | I remember Bill Gates displaying a PCI card with an F connector on it when they first started talking about cable modems in the US |
03:54.48 | C4colo | I do however want a 43Mbps synchronous internet connection |
03:54.48 | drmessano | I never did see a PCI cable modem |
03:54.58 | C4colo | nor did I |
03:55.15 | C4colo | I have a G.DMT and G.Lite compatible DSL card |
03:55.25 | drmessano | I suppose it could have been a mockup |
03:55.36 | C4colo | I"ll bet you $20 it was |
03:56.01 | drmessano | http://idealusa.stores.yahoo.net/50010200.html <---- or not |
03:56.13 | C4colo | some idiot misunderstood the cable modem specifications/requirements and said "well it will probably be a pci card, let's make one that looks like a cable modem" |
03:56.22 | C4colo | what? |
03:56.30 | C4colo | zoom made it? |
03:56.39 | C4colo | I thought zoom only made DSL hardware |
03:56.49 | C4colo | that's probably a mock-up too |
03:57.04 | C4colo | the whole site is probably a disinformation site |
03:57.10 | C4colo | made by microsoft to cover their error |
03:57.16 | drmessano | LOL |
03:57.45 | C4colo | nevermind, they would just pay bloggers to do their dirty work |
03:57.56 | drmessano | I wonder if all the mail I had in my @home account is out there somewhere.. theres a joke I was looking for... |
03:58.20 | C4colo | heh, yea, I had @home once |
03:58.23 | C4colo | years ago |
03:58.28 | C4colo | then attbi, then comcast |
03:58.38 | C4colo | then I dumped them and went back to Qworst |
03:59.03 | drmessano | You can't hide.. ATT is buying everyone and making them suck |
03:59.04 | C4colo | and now I'm dumping them for a CLEC |
03:59.15 | drmessano | Good ole Southwestern Bell.. who knew |
03:59.15 | C4colo | att is odd |
03:59.29 | C4colo | American Telegraph and Telphone |
03:59.32 | C4colo | or Telephone and Telegraph |
03:59.38 | JT | you can get miniPCI T1 cards i think |
03:59.51 | drmessano | Always Throw Tantrums? |
03:59.56 | drmessano | Always Throwing Tantrums? |
04:00.12 | drmessano | Average T1 Termination |
04:00.36 | drmessano | Any Thunderstorm Threatens |
04:01.01 | C4colo | anyway, yea, ATT bough Cingular out here and changed the name to "Cingular, the New AT&T" and out east they changed their name to "AT&T, the new Cingular" |
04:01.19 | C4colo | I think it was a gimic to make people think something had changed |
04:01.37 | C4colo | everyone was fed up with AT&T's crap out here and back east they were fed up with Cingular |
04:01.38 | drmessano | I think it's funny how they split ATT up and one of the baby bells ended up gobbling the rest up |
04:01.47 | C4colo | so the merger made it possible to fool everyone at the same time |
04:01.55 | C4colo | yea |
04:02.01 | adeel | SBC had a good leader |
04:02.08 | adeel | very aggressive |
04:02.42 | C4colo | I think it is funny that in 1994 two racks in a CLEC colocation datacenter in Qwest's facilities cost $60,000 for setup and now that the regulations are relaxing it costs $250,000 for one rack |
04:02.45 | drmessano | Southern Bell was too busy waiting for the next war of northern aggression.. too bad they didn't look to the west |
04:03.35 | adeel | what do you mean ' to the west' ? |
04:03.44 | drmessano | Southwestern Bell |
04:03.50 | C4colo | they completely ignored the USA ? |
04:03.58 | C4colo | focused on the far east? |
04:04.10 | C4colo | then were bought out by Singtel? |
04:04.16 | adeel | doesn't SBC/Ameritech own ATT? |
04:04.19 | drmessano | Southern Bell was basically "Southeastern Bell" |
04:04.30 | adeel | ohhh, okay, we're talking about the same |
04:04.38 | JT | C4colo: a quarter of a million dollars for 1 rack?! |
04:04.40 | drmessano | Southwestern Bell, AKA SBC, _IS_ ATT now |
04:04.42 | C4colo | yes |
04:04.48 | JT | once off? |
04:04.52 | C4colo | that's for the setup only |
04:04.57 | C4colo | you don't want to know the monthly rate |
04:05.00 | C4colo | lol |
04:05.00 | drmessano | SBC bought ATT and took the name |
04:05.01 | JT | that's crazy |
04:05.04 | JT | i do actually |
04:05.10 | adeel | drmessano, yeah i recall |
04:05.17 | C4colo | I could find out what the monthly is |
04:05.42 | C4colo | well, the CLEC I'm working for has been in there since 94 or 96 |
04:05.50 | drmessano | SBC owns everything but the former Nynex and New Jersey Bell |
04:05.55 | drmessano | Which is now Verizon |
04:06.00 | C4colo | so their rate is lower than it would be if you called up Qwest and said "I'm a CLEC, Gimme a rack!" |
04:06.06 | drmessano | or maybe its Atlantic Bell |
04:06.22 | drmessano | I dunno.. But they own all but one region |
04:06.38 | adeel | C4colo, with Qwests prices so high, why bother setting up there? |
04:06.43 | C4colo | well |
04:06.46 | C4colo | SS7 mainly |
04:06.58 | C4colo | real DID termination |
04:07.09 | C4colo | they can tell Qwest "we need 1000 more DIDs" |
04:07.19 | adeel | well, if you're doing that much volume to justify SS7, why not just get on ss7 yourself? |
04:07.27 | C4colo | and qwest can point them to their SS7 gateway address and then they can assign them however they want |
04:07.42 | C4colo | because Qwest is the ILEC out here |
04:07.50 | C4colo | they OWN the phone infastructure |
04:07.59 | adeel | C4colo, where are you located? |
04:08.03 | C4colo | Colorado |
04:08.06 | adeel | ahh |
04:08.13 | adeel | it's a bit different out in California |
04:08.28 | adeel | actually, i don't know who the ILEC is out ehre |
04:08.43 | C4colo | yea, the thing is they can turn around and sell SS7 interconnectivitiy to other CLECs if they wanted to |
04:08.47 | TrentCreek | who uses Fedora? |
04:08.53 | C4colo | since they are already in the downtown CO for Qwest |
04:09.34 | C4colo | and they have a datacenter right across the street with a fiber running to their SS7 gateway and media gateways inside Qwest's datacenter |
04:10.14 | TrentCreek | well, then who uses Rapidvox? |
04:10.29 | C4colo | I was looking at becoming a CLEC at one point ... the $250,000 price tag is what made me think again |
04:11.03 | C4colo | not including that again for hardware and installation costs |
04:11.05 | *** join/#asterisk Winkie (n=urmom@ur.fa.gs) |

04:11.29 | adeel | i know a guy in Florida who setup as a CLEC for less than 80K i believe |
04:11.41 | C4colo | different states are different |
04:11.52 | adeel | i wonder why it's so high in CO |

04:15.11 | C4colo | which makes it hard to be competitive |
04:17.29 | adeel | interesting |
04:18.17 | C4colo | I have learned more about CLECs working for one for a month than I have in 6 months of research looking to become a CLEC I did a year ago |
04:18.19 | drmessano | CLEC's also have the right to cut power and water to large sections of neighborhoods |
04:18.25 | C4colo | haha |
04:18.30 | C4colo | and then pay to restore it |
04:18.40 | drmessano | When Knology came to down |

04:19.20 | drmessano | nice |
04:19.26 | adeel | haha that sucks |
04:19.34 | adeel | i think i'd abuse that kind of power |
04:19.34 | C4colo | they had it all marked but they didn't mark the valves coming off the main |
04:20.05 | drmessano | The sad thing is |
04:20.10 | C4colo | so they were going along and all of a sudden water started spraying back out of the hole and up every corner crack of the side walk, the asphalt was waving like the ocean |

04:21.22 | drmessano | So I ended up with Knology.. and the service was awesome |
04:21.27 | drmessano | Customer service sucked.. |
04:21.39 | drmessano | But the service was good |
04:21.49 | C4colo | if you ever move do Denver let me know, these guys are rock-solid |
04:21.52 | C4colo | to |
04:21.57 | drmessano | After all that crap.. they managed to build a decent network |
04:22.24 | drmessano | You could always sell me some cheap ass termination |
04:22.32 | drmessano | lol |
04:22.34 | C4colo | I'm working on a deal with them to be a reseller |
04:22.49 | rob0 | I've heard that Knology blocks inbound SMTP. That would be a show-stopper for me. |
04:22.59 | drmessano | They do now |
04:23.05 | drmessano | But I got around it |
04:23.06 | C4colo | I can get you unlimited termination to the 303 and 720 area codes for $25/channel/month |
04:23.38 | adeel | wow, that's kind of pricy |
04:23.47 | C4colo | unlimited = no limits |
04:23.56 | drmessano | SMTP-IN at parents house >> VPN >> SMTP-OUT here |
04:23.57 | C4colo | not the "softcap" bull others are selling |
04:24.03 | adeel | C4colo, incoming right? |
04:24.21 | C4colo | well, that too |
04:24.30 | drmessano | I managed to run a mail |
04:24.35 | adeel | C4colo, i get unlimited termination anywhere in CA for about $10/channel/month |
04:24.53 | C4colo | well that's just special |
04:25.10 | drmessano | I managed to run a mail "server" with SMTP-IN on one ISP at one location, SMTP-OUT at another location, the mailbox server at a 3rd location, and a backup inbound SMTP at yet another |
04:25.13 | drmessano | It was fun |
04:25.34 | sbingner | was there some rhyme to that reason? |
04:25.35 | adeel | that sounds like a very convoluted setup |
04:25.36 | C4colo | actually I'm talking to them about setting up a peering arrangement between CLECs in different states to set up a nation-wide termination agreement over VoIP |
04:26.12 | rob0 | Dr, yes, I have more than one MX host, but I like to get some MX inbound on my home cable (Comcast, that's still possible.) |
04:26.40 | C4colo | I outsourced my mail to godaddy |
04:26.59 | C4colo | my mail server traffic was 99% spam by the end |
04:27.13 | drmessano | I was on Knology who didnt allow SMTP IN, my parent had Bellsouth which allowed SMTPIN, but not out, I had SMTPOUT working for a while until they forced me to use their SMTP, so I put another box on a Comcast line that allowed SMTPOUT.. and then a backup at a friends house who had DSL in case my parents lost power |
04:27.14 | C4colo | about 60% of the connections failed because I have relaying disabled |
04:27.49 | C4colo | and most of the rest were spam |
04:28.06 | C4colo | so I said to hell with it, I'll let godaddy.com pay for the spam bandwidth and failed connections |
04:28.18 | rob0 | probably over 90% of all SMTP traffic is indeed spam |
04:28.33 | C4colo | I think that value is a bit outdated |
04:28.35 | C4colo | lol |
04:28.58 | drmessano | E-mail has become too unreliable |
04:29.00 | rob0 | over 90%? It varies per site. |
04:29.01 | C4colo | any day now we will break the 100% spam boundary |
04:29.23 | C4colo | today it was reported that 110% of all email traffic is spam |
04:29.25 | drmessano | Spam and Spam filtering have made E-mail an effin mess |
04:29.51 | C4colo | questions as to the accuracy of the results were raised but the email messages bounced with a "503 Server Busy" message |
04:30.50 | drmessano | What kind of world do we live in where I cant even buy male enhancement products over the internet for fear of some spam filter intercepting my order |
04:30.55 | drmessano | Damn having to "phone it in" |
04:31.02 | rob0 | haha |
04:31.03 | C4colo | heh |
04:31.34 | C4colo | you are spelling it wrong, it's va1gra and mal3 3nhanc3m3nts |
04:31.45 | drmessano | Pretty soon we'll have Spam filtering on VoIP |
04:31.57 | C4colo | that's called "blacklist" |
04:31.57 | drmessano | "yes, I want to buy some viagra...." *CLICK* |
04:32.05 | C4colo | lol |
04:33.07 | drmessano | You know you're hard up when all your viagra ads gets filtered.. and some telemarketer calls to sell you viagra and you're all like "OMG, THANK GOODNESS YOU CALLED!!" |
04:33.21 | C4colo | haha |
04:33.37 | C4colo | you really have a thing for the male enhancements don't you drmessano? |
04:33.49 | C4colo | almost as if you speak from experience |
04:33.53 | C4colo | ¬¬ |
04:34.08 | drmessano | I like to be able to tap my wife on the shoulder when shes snorting, without having to move my arms |
04:34.23 | C4colo | haha |
04:34.37 | C4colo | they are dropping like flies |
04:34.46 | C4colo | you are going to run off half the channel with this talk |
04:35.22 | drmessano | SIP/vi@gratalk.com |
04:35.34 | C4colo | ack |
04:35.38 | C4colo | I'm not calling that |
04:35.41 | C4colo | lol |
04:35.45 | drmessano | lol |
04:35.51 | rob0 | [n=rob0@tuxaloosa.org] has quit ["Can't take it"] |
04:35.56 | drmessano | HAH |
04:36.35 | adeel | hahah |
04:36.44 | drmessano | The nice thing about doing tech support for a church |
04:37.07 | C4colo | 0.o |
04:37.23 | drmessano | you can do NO WRONG by spam filtering the word "Penis"... at the very least, you'll save them from a ton of spam.. you may even save a priest his job |
04:37.35 | C4colo | hahaha |
04:37.36 | mog | heh |
04:37.37 | C4colo | oh no |
04:38.27 | C4colo | I was wondering where you were going with that |
04:38.37 | drmessano | lol |
04:39.17 | drmessano | We do a lot of tech support for churches.. it makes you blush when they call in to have you remove that sort of Spam from their outlook |
04:39.36 | drmessano | Almost like mom finding your porn collection |
04:39.42 | C4colo | haha |
04:40.03 | drmessano | I feel really bad.. especially the really devout folks |
04:40.11 | drmessano | I can just imagine |
04:40.20 | drmessano | "Oh, good heavens" |
04:40.26 | C4colo | lol |
04:40.42 | drmessano | E-mail is on the way out, I think |
04:40.58 | C4colo | tell them to stop forwarding every damn email they get to everyone in their inbox |
04:41.05 | drmessano | lol |
04:41.10 | C4colo | and set the priority 0 mx record to a null address |
04:41.24 | C4colo | that little trick killed about 90% of the spam I get |
04:41.49 | drmessano | Because it the spammers dont follow priority? |
04:41.55 | drmessano | -it |
04:42.09 | C4colo | the RFC for SMTP specifies that a sending SMTP server must attempt a connection to at least one lower priority MX record if the first times out |
04:42.25 | C4colo | however, spammers, sending millions of messages a day, don't have time to sit around and wait for the first MX record to time out |
04:42.39 | drmessano | Thats effin brilliant |
04:42.42 | C4colo | so after a few seconds they assume your mail server is down or you don't have mail or whatever |
04:43.03 | C4colo | "real" (by that I mean properly-configured) SMTP servers will follow the RFC guidelines |
04:43.14 | drmessano | It makes complete and total sense |
04:43.44 | adeel | wow, that's pretty clever |
04:43.46 | drmessano | Still have to deal with the backscatter stuff |
04:43.48 | C4colo | I read that somewhere, tested it out for a few weeks and I was amazed how much of a differnce it made |
04:43.53 | C4colo | my spam is almost completly gone |
04:44.03 | C4colo | a few specific servers still get through and I can block their IP |
04:44.17 | C4colo | smaller spam shops, teemix is one |
04:44.23 | drmessano | Do NDRs get a header for being an NDR? |
04:44.44 | drmessano | I need to check |
04:44.52 | C4colo | I just point it to my network address |
04:44.56 | drmessano | IF you block all NDR's, that handled the backscatter |
04:45.04 | drmessano | handles |
04:45.27 | drmessano | If an NDR is generated by your SMTP server thats one thing |
04:45.43 | drmessano | But allowing a remote server to send an NDR is pointless |
04:45.48 | drmessano | and could cut the spam |
04:46.19 | C4colo | I think they ignore them |
04:46.40 | drmessano | I know we've dealt with a lot of remote NDR backscatter spam messages |
04:46.52 | drmessano | But I think Exchange can be told to ignore NDRs |
04:47.01 | C4colo | I have had a hotmail account since 1998 that has been inactive for multiple years on end, and if I log in I'll get spam within minutes |
04:47.30 | drmessano | Im checking my server now |
04:48.10 | C4colo | I use it about once or twice in a while when I need to give out an address that I KNOW will be bent/folded/spindled/mutilated and then sold to everyone willing to pay a nickle for it |
04:49.02 | C4colo | plus they use other people's addresses to send from |
04:49.06 | C4colo | so they don't get the bounces anyway |
04:50.41 | C4colo | I know this because about twice a year I get bombarded by hundreds of bounce replys in my inbox |
04:51.49 | drmessano | Yeah.. Last month was BAD |
04:52.13 | drmessano | They gave up on backscatter for a while |
04:52.23 | drmessano | and for some reason cranked it up last month |
04:52.27 | drmessano | We saw thousands |
04:52.49 | C4colo | the CLEC said they had quite a few of their customers hit last month |
04:52.56 | C4colo | none of my domains got hit though |
04:53.01 | C4colo | ... for once |
04:53.23 | drmessano | I think remote NDRs should be illegal anyway |
04:53.27 | C4colo | I can't say that though, I think I got about 15 or 20 messages, that's light enough that I don't even notice though |
04:53.35 | C4colo | I think email should be deprecated |
04:53.38 | drmessano | Only YOUR smtp server should generate an NDR |
04:53.42 | C4colo | way too trusting of a system |
04:54.19 | C4colo | WAY too trusting |
04:54.22 | drmessano | Yep |
04:54.39 | C4colo | I mean c'mon, I can send an email from your email address and no server between here or there will look at it twice? |
04:55.08 | C4colo | I can send out emails from "service@paypal.com" or "customerservice@suntrustbank.com" |
04:55.17 | C4colo | or whatever the hell I want |
04:55.19 | C4colo | that is just odd to me |
04:55.49 | drmessano | No one wants to fix the problem because everyone is exploiting it lol |
04:55.54 | C4colo | hah, yea |
04:55.59 | jackson__ | you guys don't check spf? |
04:56.20 | C4colo | nah, that's a shoddy hack |
04:56.30 | jackson__ | I dissagree |
04:56.38 | C4colo | I vocally berate SMTP while using all the same |
04:56.53 | C4colo | I'm one of those complainers who doesn't do anything about it |
04:56.57 | C4colo | lol |
04:57.09 | C4colo | ok, not a shoddy hack, that was harsh |
04:57.28 | C4colo | it is pointless unless implemented and required 100% |
04:58.03 | jackson__ | my logs show that it catches quite a lot. |
04:58.08 | C4colo | it is like bailing water out of a cruise ship using a shotglass when there is a hole the size of an iceberg in the side of it |
04:59.40 | C4colo | the entire concept of email needs to be re-thunk |
04:59.46 | jackson__ | so you're saying you don't specify spf records that are authorative for your domains? |
04:59.57 | C4colo | actually no |
05:00.11 | jackson__ | then why should I accept your mail if you don't take the effort? |
05:00.26 | C4colo | because there are millions like me out there that haven't taken the effor either |
05:00.33 | C4colo | and to block all of them is to limit your ability to use email |
05:00.39 | jackson__ | then they aren't worth accepting mail from. |
05:00.41 | C4colo | which is a good thing in my book |
05:01.03 | outtolunc | he looks rather cute with no nose <G> |
05:01.03 | drmessano | I added spf records just in case some a***** decides to filter spf out of the blue |
05:01.12 | jackson__ | spf has been around for a while and it's pretty easy to impliment. |
05:01.15 | drmessano | But I dont expect it to take any real life of its own |
05:01.16 | *** join/#asterisk schreckdebase (n=tpdc@koe67-2-82-238-198-119.fbx.proxad.net) |
05:01.43 | C4colo | I'll implement spf when I implement IPv6 |
05:01.58 | drmessano | But then again.. I said that about SRV records years ago |
05:02.03 | jackson__ | heh, you're talking a simple dns txt resource record man. |
05:02.10 | C4colo | yea |
05:02.14 | C4colo | I know |
05:02.31 | C4colo | like I said, I looked into it at one point |
05:02.35 | C4colo | I know what it would take |
05:02.45 | C4colo | but doing so just prolongs the death of SMTP |
05:02.48 | jackson__ | for my buisness (small software dev house), I don't have any problem filtering via spf. |
05:03.23 | C4colo | for every SMTP workaround we accept, we put off the final death of SMTP by another year or two |
05:04.18 | C4colo | spf records are nice, I will say they are useful, and the day I can't send email without spf will be the day I agree that spf has suceeded |
05:04.37 | C4colo | but, how will I know when that day has come if I implement spf now? |
05:05.05 | drmessano | Right now, SPF gives you a lower spam score |
05:05.06 | jackson__ | I'm certainly not saying that it's the only measure that needs to be taken, but I do thing it's worth while to impliment spf records for your own domains. |
05:05.13 | drmessano | But its not exclusive yet |
05:05.29 | C4colo | then if I was spamming I would be interested in adding spf |
05:05.45 | drmessano | ..or if your domain was having a problem sending mail otherwise |
05:05.53 | jackson__ | that won't help you spoofing though :) |
05:05.57 | drmessano | lol |
05:06.07 | C4colo | when doesn't anyone's domain have problems sending email? |
05:06.24 | jackson__ | the entire point of spf is to prevent spoofing. |
05:06.26 | drmessano | I noticed I get more mail through to hotmail and Yahoo with an spf record |
05:06.28 | C4colo | email is the message-in-a-bottle of the modern age |
05:06.34 | C4colo | "send it out there and hope they get it" |
05:06.51 | drmessano | Its seems to lower the spam score somewhat |
05:06.54 | drmessano | Which isnt bad |
05:07.05 | C4colo | yea, but then all spammers will implement them and then where are we? |
05:07.10 | C4colo | back where we started? |
05:07.25 | C4colo | well, no, but you get my point |
05:07.43 | jackson__ | how can a sapmmer who's spoofing with FROMS of bill@microsoft.com going to add and spf record to the microsoft.com's authorative name servers listing that spamming email server? |
05:08.08 | C4colo | they would have to set up their own domains of course |
05:09.03 | C4colo | like micresoft.com |
05:09.13 | jackson__ | microsofty.com is my fav :) |
05:09.25 | C4colo | isn't that a porn site? |
05:09.33 | drmessano | MlCROSOFT.COM |
05:09.38 | jackson__ | dunno, but it souunds good rolling off the tounge. |
05:09.55 | C4colo | wow this water is giving me a microsofty |
05:10.17 | drmessano | DOGPlLE.COM |
05:10.35 | drmessano | Those work |
05:10.39 | drmessano | Probably taken |
05:10.47 | C4colo | "the neighbor's dog just left a dogpile on our lawn again!" |
05:11.10 | drmessano | You could spoof a Yahoo address.. Yahoo would probably let you.. Since.. no one else is using Yahoo |
05:11.19 | C4colo | hahah |
05:11.57 | drmessano | I bet I could colo my blog in a Yahoo datacenter and double their powerbill.. and trust me, I am not bragging.. |
05:12.19 | C4colo | lol |
05:12.23 | C4colo | you get about 5 hits a month? |
05:12.25 | drmessano | "OMG, 14 hits today!" |
05:12.29 | C4colo | haha |
05:13.05 | jackson__ | try adding more jpgs to increase the hit count. |
05:13.22 | drmessano | colo it with the money section of the yahoo site and I could exponentially increase the hits |
05:13.33 | drmessano | Go from 1 a day to 9 |
05:13.43 | C4colo | that's not exponential over two samples |
05:13.50 | drmessano | lol |
05:13.52 | C4colo | that's just 9-fold |
05:14.01 | drmessano | I wasnt being literal |
05:14.26 | C4colo | 1, 9, 81 ... that would be exponential |
05:14.28 | C4colo | yea |
05:14.40 | C4colo | I'm often times too literal |
05:15.01 | drmessano | Yahoo is so ignored now, no one has cared at all that Yahoo doesn't have a release version of their IM client thats vista compatible yet |
05:15.43 | C4colo | except for you apparently |

05:17.17 | C4colo | yahoo, the new AOL |
05:17.26 | drmessano | AOL knows it's near death.. Yahoo is bargaining with Microsoft like its 1997 |

05:27.18 | drmessano | Would you call it conf.conf |

05:27.43 | C4colo | or cfg.conf ? |
05:27.52 | C4colo | or is cfg the BSD version of conf? |
05:27.59 | drmessano | That just advertises that someone was lazy |
05:28.20 | drmessano | conf.cfg is blatant admission of laziness |
05:28.27 | C4colo | haha |
05:28.42 | C4colo | xen uses .cfg for their configuration files for domUs |
05:28.49 | C4colo | well, technically you can name them whatever you want |
05:28.51 | drmessano | configuration.cfg is even better |
05:29.18 | drmessano | what if php was written in PHP |

05:30.14 | drmessano | What did .com stand for in DOS? |
05:30.29 | C4colo | an executable that could run under dos |
05:30.32 | drmessano | command.... |
05:30.46 | drmessano | So command.com was command.command |
05:30.52 | C4colo | nah |
05:31.19 | C4colo | .com was .exe by another name |
05:31.28 | C4colo | .coms would run without highmem |

05:31.56 | C4colo | yea yea |
05:32.00 | C4colo | go and quote wiki at me |
05:32.02 | C4colo | see if I blink |
05:32.12 | drmessano | So, pre DOS it was "command" |

07:53.28 | mort_gib | Why?? |
07:53.30 | pukkita | less time involved... and pf too :) |
07:54.07 | mort_gib | I mean, m0no0wall won't give you the same control over DMZ/multiple uplinks |
07:54.11 | krdian | pukkita: ... but iptables is more flexible and stable for firewall/NAT IMHO |
07:54.32 | pukkita | krdian: I haven't used linux for almost 10 years |
07:54.43 | mort_gib | krdian: I can't say I agree... |
07:54.44 | pukkita | mort_gib have you tried pfsense? |
07:54.50 | mort_gib | Not yet... |
07:55.37 | pukkita | mort_gib you're right, I mean for a single FW. For isakmpd setups I set up a dozen boxex that have been running for years without a hitch |
07:55.48 | krdian | huh i found that for nat/firewall/qos iptables is better, i have tried pf but fails in many cases |
07:55.55 | mort_gib | I had an incident with a "content aware" firewall... Allowing a user to access some media streams proved to damn difficult |
07:56.46 | mort_gib | I have yet to see pf failing, as for QoS, I haven't done much work with pf's QoS but have read it up and it seems very flexible |
07:56.51 | pukkita | mort_gib try it, I tried on the same P800 box that ran OBSD 3.2 based FW for years pfsense, and was overly impressed, is noticeably faster |
07:57.36 | mort_gib | -So pfsense (on FreeBSD) gives better performance?? |
07:57.51 | pukkita | and setting it up is like eating cake, in about 10 minutes with just one hand |
07:57.52 | krdian | pukkita: of course i preffer openbsd, is secure and stable as well, |
07:58.02 | pukkita | 3.2 to actual pfsense yes |

08:08.59 | mort_gib | -But expensive |
08:09.04 | pukkita | yep |
08:09.07 | mort_gib | Latency is also an issue |
08:09.11 | pukkita | I proposed something in that line |
08:09.25 | pukkita | mort_gib it depends on the service you choose |
08:09.48 | pukkita | you can choose video streaming type service, but of course is more expensive |
08:09.51 | mort_gib | I haven't looked THAT much into it.... I have to be very careful with my time ;-) |
08:09.57 | pukkita | haha |

08:11.46 | mort_gib | Sounds interesting, how would you monitor bandwidth usage?? |
08:12.05 | mort_gib | Yes, I'm in EU, for at least 5 minutes more ;-) |
08:12.13 | pukkita | ? |
08:12.32 | mort_gib | I'm off to Gibraltar in a few minute to see some of my clients |
08:12.32 | pukkita | in pfsense that comes out of the box |

08:13.55 | pukkita | in pfsense you have live graphs and RRD storage of tons of parameters, one of the bandwith, of course. You could have mult-WAN setups also |
08:14.16 | mort_gib | Is support for that better than in PF?? |
08:14.23 | mort_gib | Multi-Wan?? |
08:14.28 | pukkita | yep |
08:14.40 | mort_gib | -Cool, better have a look at pfsense |

08:16.11 | mort_gib | No, not me |
08:16.13 | mort_gib | :-) |
08:16.23 | pukkita | they'd better setup a Wifi link and use Spain's Telcos for internet then |
08:16.35 | pukkita | not that they're that great nor cheap, but at least stable |
08:16.51 | pukkita | or do you mean mobile internet |
08:16.53 | mort_gib | Not allowed, and Telefonica is also not for the faint of heart |
08:17.04 | pukkita | I'm in Seville BTW |
08:17.17 | mort_gib | There are now three player in Gib, Gibtelecom, Sapphire and CTS |

08:18.33 | mort_gib | Telefonica is not that good down here, I asked for leased lines for an office in Algeciras, but no no no, Tenemos ADSL.... Tenemos ADSL |

08:19.28 | mort_gib | Auna, I'm not sure about |
08:19.34 | pukkita | the have a new service for DSL, similar to leased |
08:19.47 | pukkita | MPLS could be |
08:20.03 | pukkita | Auna/Retevision = old Ono's name |
08:20.38 | pukkita | that could be interesting if they don't have cable where you need it |

08:21.00 | mort_gib | They failed though, they got greedy! |
08:21.18 | mort_gib | contention rate?? |
08:21.42 | pukkita | in Cadiz there is another company that works well, dunoo if they cover Algeciras, for PLC based service |

08:25.56 | pukkita | another solution would be a LMDS link for Primary/Frame Relay, Ono's also inclined to do that... I already had their equipment for an E1, so they offered a 2Mbps Frame Relay w/ warranted bandwidth for 380/mo |

08:54.41 | jblack | Wait. To do 1k faxes a minute on 32 iaxmodems would mean your faxes have to average 2 seconds per fax. |
08:55.28 | krdian | jblack: 32 for inbound and 32 for outbound |
08:55.44 | krdian | jblack: u r right there is 2x32 |

08:57.11 | jblack | Ok. If you cut it in half, that's 8 seconds a fax. |
08:58.31 | krdian | jblack: grrrr, u won, i do calculations again :) |
08:59.03 | jblack | Assume faxes take 2 minutes, and you have a bank of 64 fax machine equivilants, you're looking at about 32 a minute. |

13:39.24 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender or imagine the following scenario : [phone][asterisk][other-vendor-PBX] |
13:39.52 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender in which case the asterisk is here to add some extensions/features to the PBX from the ther vendor |
13:40.43 | [TK]D-Fender | jeanmiiii: * is not a proxy. Doesn't matter if you view it as being "in between". |
13:41.28 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender ok let's put it another way, what backends can I use to register phones ? |
13:41.48 | [TK]D-Fender | jeanmiiii: * is a B2BUA period. Auth is done by *. You'v got base config files(.conf 's), or DB, but this is all on the the one the regitster to. |
13:43.17 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender, ok so whatever backend I shall use, all it will do is provide asterisk with the data (login/password) to proceed to the exchanges with the client for the registration, right ? |
13:44.08 | [TK]D-Fender | jeanmiiii: All you have is .conf's and "realtime". |
13:44.30 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender I am looking at a way to show a customer that even he uses SIP/TLS + SRTP, as long as the phones do not authenticate (mutual authentication) the PBX they connect to, the use of encryption is totally void |
13:45.13 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender, thus to mount the attack that will demonstrate it, I wish to use an asterisk (man in the middle) that will record the calls. |
13:46.19 | [T]an2 | so you are trying to hack the call? is that it? |
13:46.46 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender thus I am looking for something that would do the following: 1> client send REGISTER, 2 proxy send the same REGISTER to the other vendor PBX 3> asterisk forwards it back to the client 4> the client replies to the challenge ....

13:52.07 | jeanmiiii | ManxPower true, but that does not mean you can't exploit it |
13:52.14 | ManxPower | jeanmiiii: and most toll fraud comes from outside the company. |
13:52.33 | [T]an2 | on a good network with a good admin, that would be caught if it were an inside attack |
13:52.56 | ManxPower | jeanmiiii: I'm not saying that you should not be concerned with encryption -- just that most people using Asterisk do not care about encrption, or if they do they use VPN. |
13:53.08 | jeanmiiii | [T]an2 true, but from my exoperience I can tell you that aren't that many good admins |
13:53.09 | [T]an2 | in our network, the phone are all on their own vlan... only phone and the asterisk server can talk to each other. |
13:53.22 | ManxPower | [T]an2: that's what we do. |
13:53.42 | ManxPower | Mostly for ease of management -- traffic segmentation is just a nice thing in our networks. |
13:53.44 | jeanmiiii | [T]an2 and do you have any mechanism to avoid someone being in your vlan ? |
13:54.11 | [T]an2 | yeah... a good admin with a bad disposition :-D |
13:54.21 | jeanmiiii | [T]an2 what if I plug my PC in place of a phone and tag my packets with your vlan's ID ? |
13:55.00 | [TK]D-Fender | jeanmiiii: Post armed sentries at all of your LAN jacks. Don't forget the armoured division for backup. |
13:55.05 | [T]an2 | what if i beat the crap out of the guy whos calls i wanted to record... anything is possible... who is your client? the CIA? |
13:55.30 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender very companies do actually have such setup in place |
13:55.35 | [TK]D-Fender | jeanmiiii: Basically * is not that secure and all your attempts to do it will end up a pretty moot point. It was not built for what you're looking for. |
13:55.53 | [T]an2 | it would be pretty obvious in most environments if someone was doing something they shouldnt. |
13:56.19 | [TK]D-Fender | jeanmiiii: No extra auth, no "proxy", no real encrpytion. |
13:56.23 | jeanmiiii | our customers do not asterisk though, I am just using it as a tool |
13:56.32 | [T]an2 | what do they use? |
13:56.51 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender asterisk 1.6 does provide SIP/TLS though + with a patch you can add srtp |
13:57.07 | jeanmiiii | [T]an2 cisco, siemens, avaya, alcatel, etc |
13:57.38 | [TK]D-Fender | jeanmiiii: I'll wait till a short while after it LEAVES beta before even mentioning it. and "patch" means you'll be playing "catch-up" for a long time.. |
13:57.56 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender true |
13:58.08 | [T]an2 | If it were me, I would look there for a solution to your protection needs. |
13:58.24 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender buty as far as I am concerned, I am not using asterisk for production. I only use as a tool at work |
13:58.25 | [T]an2 | I am sure they have case studies to document their testing of security. |
13:58.38 | jeanmiiii | [T]an2 I am not looking for protections |
13:58.57 | [T]an2 | i get that |

14:06.49 | [T]an2 | people have a hard enough time getting phones to talk to the right server... let alone talk to the wrong one and the right one at the same time |
14:06.55 | jeanmiiii | [T]an2 using arp cache poising you not need to do any of that |
14:08.12 | [T]an2 | do you have people who can do that in your office? |

14:08.43 | jeanmiiii | I think you don't really get the point |
14:09.08 | [T]an2 | the point that I think asterisk is the wrong tool for you, yes i do |
14:09.26 | jeanmiiii | with very little knowledge, any employee can set such attacks in place and use them to spy on calls |
14:09.44 | [T]an2 | sure... |
14:09.52 | jeanmiiii | well, it is |
14:10.09 | jeanmiiii | imagine I have a network where phones and the PBX use SIP/TLS and SRTP |
14:10.11 | [T]an2 | but i can stand outside a door to an office and do the same thing |
14:10.23 | jeanmiiii | with asterisk I can sit in the middle using ARP Cache poisinging |
14:10.41 | jeanmiiii | as a result, the phone will try to register to my astertisk |
14:10.54 | bbryant | jeanmiiii: yes, but how are you going to understand the packets if they're using tls? |
14:10.58 | jeanmiiii | given the infiormation exchanged in the register packets, I can bruteforce the password |
14:11.07 | [TK]D-Fender | jeanmiiii: But again, * is not a PROXY. |
14:11.15 | jeanmiiii | bbryant I am using tls, the phones is connecting to me |
14:11.26 | jeanmiiii | [TK]D-Fender alright then let me finish |
14:11.28 | [TK]D-Fender | jeanmiiii: you can't "pass-on" the packets. |
14:11.30 | [T]an2 | but you said they could do this with very little knowledge... yet you cant figure out how to do it. |
14:11.36 | bbryant | right, brain lapse, i see what you're saying now |

14:12.24 | [T]an2 | http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:ZHSpbZCA2y4J:www.cs.sjsu.edu/faculty/stamp/students/Silky_report.pdf+arp+cache+poisoning+asterisk&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us |
14:12.32 | bbryant | that's a classic man in the middle attack though, it has nothing to do with asterisk specifically |
14:12.33 | jeanmiiii | once I have capture in the SIP debug the REGISTER packets, I have enoygh infoprmation to bruteforce the password |
14:13.03 | jeanmiiii | once i have got the password, I can have my asterisk to register to the other vendor PBX, then asterisk will act as a proxy (or such) |
14:13.17 | jeanmiiii | I will bridge calls from the phone to the PBX |
14:13.31 | jeanmiiii | and record them using an app like MixMonitor |
14:13.35 | jeanmiiii | this works fine |
14:13.37 | [T]an2 | you can detect and protect against arp caching. i refer back to the good admin |
14:13.51 | jeanmiiii | te only problem is that It is a burden to have to crack the password |

14:14.37 | [T]an2 | so are avaya and cisco swithces... many companies do |
14:15.03 | jeanmiiii | [T]an2 but actually you do not really need to protect yourself against such attacks, what you have to ensure is that the telephone uses encryption mechanisms to authenticate the PBX it connects to (as web browsers do when they connect to ssl websites) |
14:15.06 | [T]an2 | your comapny is only as strong as its people... hire a crappy net admin and have a crappy net |
14:15.23 | [T]an2 | wouldnt that be protecting against it? |
14:15.55 | [T]an2 | if you have to ensure things are set up a certain way, you are taking measures of protection |
14:15.56 | jeanmiiii | [T]an2 the thing is that it is not only related to good or bad admins, quite a lot of admins do not have the means to deploy protections against arp cache popisiong |
14:16.14 | [T]an2 | yes, i agree 100%. a vanilla installation/configuration of ANY phone system is vulnerable. |
14:16.50 | jeanmiiii | and quite a lot of admins are looking for us to demonstrate that it is critical for the company to invest in such equipments |
14:18.09 | jeanmiiii | basically, clients are asking us whether the solution they'e bought is securre or not (which mostly means: "can calls be recorded by someone inside or outside tyhe company") |

14:18.23 | HuntsvilleAL | of internet addiction? :) |
14:18.23 | [T]an2 | i get that... I am still rolling back to your previous comments... a user with very little knowledge can execute arp poisoning. However an admin with a lot of knowledge cannot |
14:18.31 | jeanmiiii | so if phones do not authenticate PBX and can therefore allow for attacks that lead to the possibility of listening to calls, then I have to demonstrate it ... that's all |

14:19.09 | [T]an2 | I really dont think asterisk is gonna do it for you |
14:19.30 | bbryant | jeanmiiii: all the ssl support, at least in trunk, lets you choose a certificate authority to verify certificates which could be used to create your own authority for stuff inside your local network, and that would prevent any man in the middle attack created with arp caching |
14:19.34 | jeanmiiii | [T]an2 I haver already used it for that purpose |
14:19.50 | jeanmiiii | bbryant yes |
14:19.57 | [T]an2 | so i am confused then.... what are you asking from us then? |
14:20.04 | jeanmiiii | bbryant but the problems is tht some phones to not validate the cert |

14:25.04 | [T]an2 | what do you want? |
14:25.16 | drfreeze | My phone system started giving me some new problems yesterday |
14:25.39 | jeanmiiii | I was just wondering if asterisk could act so that I could shorten the 2 steps I described into only one |
14:25.50 | [T]an2 | not the way it is written |
14:25.58 | jeanmiiii | and as a result it does not |
14:26.01 | drfreeze | Reports are that outgoing calls can't be made. The details are that there is a dialtone, but after making the call, it goes silent |
14:26.04 | [T]an2 | maybe if you turn it inside out... but that is nothing we can support you on here |
14:26.23 | jeanmiiii | it could if I had the time and knowledge to change the source to do what I want to .... |
14:26.35 | drfreeze | I'm monitoring the problem now, but don't have anything specific to look for |
14:26.38 | [T]an2 | change the source=turn inside out... |
14:26.51 | [T]an2 | just write your own program intended to do what you are after |
14:27.00 | ccvp | jeanmiii, at major corporations with global phone networks, it can be done with a mix between dscp and mpls tags |
14:27.02 | jeanmiiii | basically, I was just asking whether asterisk could act as proxy that would another PBX as authentication backend |
14:27.07 | jeanmiiii | no big deal :) |

14:28.52 | jeanmiiii | what matters is that encryption be used properly and that phones authzenticate the PBX they connect to in ordet to ensure they are not being had by a man in the middle attack |

15:45.11 | jbot | [~cds] Call Discconect Supervision is a service placed on analog lines to be able to signal you that that the calling party has hung up. This is typically done either by a momentary battery cut, or by a polarity reversal on the line. |

15:46.13 | xacatecas | killmel8tr, IAX2 uses a single port 4569 for everything, and voice comes from them to me, and rtp debug on my side, as well as tcpdump shows that the data is flowing correctly. |

17:50.06 | freezey | [TK]D-Fender: the point of the second port is what? |
17:50.15 | Primer | So I'm trying to figure out how RTP packets are making it through my firewall. I have a Linux iptables box as a firewall just after our router in front of our network, with a default FORWARD policy of DROP, no rules for udp 10000:20000 or 5060, or rules for our outbound proxy, yet, RTP goes through just fine |
17:50.22 | Qwell | freezey: it's a switch port |
17:50.26 | [TK]D-Fender | freezey: pass-through to a PC. for places you don't have a separate jack |
17:50.38 | freezey | oh ok thanks i thoguht so |
17:50.41 | [TK]D-Fender | freezey: so switch > phone > computer. |
17:50.45 | ccvp | so did all of you enjoy your fatty Taco Bell for luncH? :( . . . . i only had half a pound of spinach leaves, with some sprinkled tuna fish chunks , and lite honey mustard |
17:51.04 | Katty | hugs ccvp |
17:51.11 | Primer | From what I understand, I'd need some sort of ip_conntrack to open ports for RTP on the firewall, yet no such thing was ever setup beforehand |
17:51.24 | Katty | ccvp: i had a lovely grilled chicken breast, with mashed potatoed and gravy, strawberries, and yoghurt |
17:51.29 | Primer | ip_conntrack that'd monitor SIP, that is |
17:51.37 | ccvp | "lovely" |
17:51.38 | ccvp | lol |
17:51.48 | ccvp | katty, do you goto the store, and buy: Beautiful Coldcuts |
17:51.51 | ccvp | haha :) |
17:51.55 | Qwell | Primer: don't use conntrack modules with SIP... they break it in new and wonderous ways |
17:51.59 | Katty | actually i don't like coldcuts. |
17:52.07 | Primer | Qwell: I'm not saying I am |
17:52.26 | Primer | I'm mostly curious as to how the RTP is getting through, when we didn't setup anything to explicitly handle it |
17:52.35 | ccvp | im starving though |
17:52.40 | *** join/#asterisk dlynes (n=chatzill@dsl-vlan468-66-18-244-66.nucleus.com) |
17:52.44 | Primer | and our firewall is very restrictive |
17:52.44 | ccvp | but im trying to lose some weight, im 6'0, 192 lbs, i want to get to 160 |
17:52.59 | jackson__ | Primer, are you using something like shorewall to configure iptables? |
17:53.14 | Qwell | surely you have an ESTABLISHED,RELATED line somewhere in there |
17:53.33 | Primer | jackson__: no |
17:53.48 | Qwell | in some cases it'll "Just Work" |
17:53.56 | Qwell | (but not very well, or reliably) |
17:53.58 | ccvp | qwell why is that? |
17:54.01 | Primer | Qwell: I don't see how an RTP stream on port 10000 becomes related to a SIP session on port 5060 |
17:54.06 | ccvp | what specific line of code backs that up? :) |
17:54.12 | ccvp | "just work, but not reliably"? |
17:54.23 | Qwell | You send out a RTP packet. Any responses would be related to that, no? |
17:54.32 | jackson__ | examine the output of 'iptables -L -v' |
17:54.43 | ccvp | Qwell, can you give me a 99% confidence interval using an estimated regression equation to back your statement up |
17:54.46 | ccvp | using an alpha value of .01 :) |
17:54.47 | Primer | surely, but that presumes that the return stream is coming back on the same ports, no? |
17:55.00 | Primer | I mean, the default is for there to be 2 RTP streams, no? |
17:55.12 | Qwell | Primer: like I said...it wouldn't be very reliable :) |
17:55.13 | Primer | one from me to them, one from them to me |
17:55.25 | Qwell | but, it *can* work |
17:55.27 | Primer | which presumably can use any combination of ports |
17:56.05 | Qwell | Primer: these are outbound calls, I assume? |
17:56.13 | Primer | no, inbound |
17:56.22 | zeeesh | <[TK]D-Fender>: i gave command during installations "make clean" "make" "make install" "make config" and then "modprobe zaptel" and "modprobe ztdummy"? is there anything left? |
17:56.32 | ccvp | heh |
17:56.33 | Victor___ | Vonage ATA with X100P worked just fine.. X100M Yecch.. don't know what I'm doing wrong |
17:56.44 | Qwell | when it's "Just Worked" for me, it was outbound calls that did, and inbound calls failed. |
17:56.48 | zeeesh | using asterisk-1.2.18 and zaptel-1.2.25 |
17:56.55 | Primer | we register to our provider (teliax, in this case), and calls come in via our registration to them. That part makes sense |
17:57.09 | ccvp | zeeesh, get the 1.4 book |
17:57.12 | ccvp | it's white, with a horizontal blue bar |
17:57.15 | Primer | perhaps my understanding is flawed |
17:57.18 | ccvp | with a starfish logo |
17:57.24 | Qwell | Primer: NAT is...ugh |
17:57.28 | Primer | there is no NAT |
17:57.29 | Qwell | it's magical |
17:57.42 | Primer | it's just a stateful firewall on our network |
17:57.49 | ccvp | qwell, can you give me a null an alternative hypothesis, using alpha values of .05 |
17:57.52 | ccvp | that nat is "ugh" :) |
17:57.54 | Qwell | the asterisk box is also the firewall? |
17:57.58 | Primer | which is a standalone machine |
17:57.59 | ccvp | to show that nat is actually ugh |
17:57.59 | Primer | no |
17:58.21 | jackson__ | Primer, so your 'firewall' is just a screening router? |
17:58.23 | Qwell | then...it's being NATed |
17:58.30 | Primer | it's not |
17:58.35 | Primer | there are no nat rules on the firewall |
17:58.38 | Qwell | NAT doesn't mean internal addresses |
17:58.52 | Primer | the firewall is a hop on the network, between the switch and the router |
17:59.04 | Qwell | if the firewall is handling the IP of the machine of the Asterisk box, that is a NAT. |
17:59.06 | ccvp | sound like a router to me, but a hop to what? |
17:59.11 | Primer | it's not |
17:59.32 | Qwell | so, the firewall isn't handling that IP? |
17:59.34 | Primer | the firewall is not handling the IP of asterisk |
17:59.38 | *** join/#asterisk Goldfisch (n=gturnqui@158-147-54-92.harris.com) |
17:59.40 | Qwell | so then... |
17:59.49 | Qwell | there is no firewall |
17:59.52 | Primer | imagine it's a PIX |
17:59.57 | Primer | but, it's not...it's a Linux box |
17:59.58 | ccvp | pix outdated |
18:00.02 | ccvp | get a asa 5series imo |
18:00.03 | jackson__ | Qwell, sounds like he has an internet routable subnet behind his firewall - which is operating as a packet filtering router. |
18:00.06 | dlynes | Has anyone been able to get asterisk to play nice with mediatrix 2102's? |
18:00.06 | Primer | geez |
18:00.11 | *** part/#asterisk Goldfisch (n=gturnqui@158-147-54-92.harris.com) |
18:00.11 | Qwell | jackson__: which would be a NAT :P |
18:00.12 | Primer | you people have no imagination :) |
18:00.16 | Primer | sigh |
18:00.18 | Primer | it's not NAT |
18:00.23 | jackson__ | Qwell, no, it's not rewriting any addresses. |
18:00.35 | Primer | jackson__: correct |
18:00.36 | Qwell | it doesn't have to rewrite addresses to be a NAT |
18:00.42 | Primer | hence my mention of the FORWARD rule |
18:00.48 | jackson__ | Qwell, please tell me what NAT stands for then :) |
18:00.52 | dlynes | I'm having an issue with the mediatrix box not responding to asterisk's request to send a call |
18:00.52 | Primer | Qwell: uh, yes it does |
18:01.00 | Primer | well |
18:01.10 | dlynes | But yet, mediatrix does send a response |

18:01.33 | dlynes | I have a wireshark capture of the conversation |
18:02.19 | jackson__ | NAT is used to HIDE a subnet behind the natting firewall. Primers configuration is just routing (not hinding anything) while screening (packet filtering) out traffic they don't want to explicitly allow. |
18:02.29 | Primer | here's a scenario: teliax (ip 1.2.3.4) connecting to me (2.3.4.5) over the internet -> internet -> my router (2.3.4.69) -> my firewall (2.3.4.42) -> my asterisk box (2.3.4.5) |
18:02.45 | Primer | no NAT |
18:03.03 | Primer | remove the firewall from the picture, and it works just the same (after adjusting some routes) |

18:04.46 | mog | I see |
18:04.50 | Qwell | Katty: I somehow doubt this is what she meant :p |
18:04.51 | Primer | the firewall's default FORWARD policy is DROP, has no rules to explicitly allow teliax (ip 1.2.3.4) through, or udp port range 10000:20000 (asterisk's default), yet, RTP magically seems to traverse it |
18:05.02 | Katty | Qwell: well they're telemarketers |
18:05.10 | Katty | Qwell: she wants me to make sure they're actually making real calls |
18:05.10 | Qwell | Primer: okay, but you do have ESTABLISHED,RELATED rules, correct? |
18:05.14 | Katty | Qwell: can you think of a better way? |
18:05.17 | Primer | and the only way I can explain it is if the distro magically has some sort of ip_conntrack_sip in it |

18:05.46 | file | is it... Gentoo? |
18:05.52 | Primer | no, it's fedora |

18:06.48 | Primer | I'm presuming stuff |
18:06.49 | znoG | any ideas why sip.conf allows the setting of a md5secret and IAX doesn't? uses plaintext secrets |
18:07.12 | Primer | namely that there are 2 RTP streams per conversion, whose ports are distinct |
18:07.21 | Primer | is that wrong? |
18:07.27 | Qwell | Primer: not always |
18:07.48 | Primer | so one RTP stream could care both my stream out and their stream in? |
18:07.56 | Primer | s/care/carry/ |
18:08.00 | Qwell | no |
18:08.13 | Qwell | but the firewall could consider them to be related. like I said, it's...ugh |

18:10.27 | Primer | it's very odd that it Just Worksâ¢, so far |
18:10.39 | pacmanfan | is AsteriskNOW considered a stable solution? |
18:10.41 | jackson__ | Primer, do you have any iptables connection tracking modules loaded? lsmod |
18:10.47 | Primer | jackson__: yes |
18:12.17 | jackson__ | no you say that your default FORWARD policy is deny, how about the other chains? |
18:12.20 | jackson__ | er now |
18:13.29 | Primer | keep in mind this is not iptables on the asterisk box |
18:13.34 | Primer | this is a separate box |
18:13.44 | Primer | so FORWARD rules are really the only rules that matter |
18:13.59 | jackson__ | Primer, understood, but as I understood it, your question was how where the media traffic traverising your firewall. |
18:14.17 | jackson__ | darn my spellin' |
18:14.47 | Primer | yup |
18:15.01 | Primer | at the very least, how is the RTP coming IN |
18:15.25 | Primer | because, again, presumably, this is happening with an unknown (to the firewall) src port |
18:15.40 | Primer | src port on the dst host |
18:15.43 | Primer | bah |
18:15.47 | Primer | now I'm confused... |

18:16.14 | ccvp | http://theciscocommunity.com/ |
18:16.15 | jackson__ | now, as I understand it, you're correct that the FORWARD chain should be where you focus your attention if the firewall is not the destination for the traffic. However have you confirmed that the FORWARD table counters are accumulating via iptables -L -v? |

18:23.37 | jackson__ | then I'd say you need to focus on the rules that you are ACCEPTing in your FORWARD chain... Something in there has to be allowing the udp packets through. That and what Qwell said with the connection tracking considering the rtp traffic as part of an existing or related connection. |
18:24.20 | Qwell | all it takes to become related is sending one packet to the host that's sending you audio |

19:06.43 | dhill | xacatecas: but if a sipura is using g729 calling another g729, i do not need the license, because it is passthru? |
19:06.54 | xacatecas | correct. |
19:07.26 | ManxPower | dhill: But that won't work if the phone is calling an IVR, Zap channel, voicemail, call recording |
19:07.30 | xacatecas | however, due to the nature of the asterisk codec negotation you're going to run into problems if you connect to an asterisk server and need to break out to the PSTN or some other non--g729 trunk. |
19:07.37 | whymarkwh | does eyebeam have the g729 codec ? |

20:10.27 | JayTee52 | booray, I'd go with the 2 8-port PCI-Express cards |
20:11.13 | mvanbaak | yup, me too |
20:11.32 | mvanbaak | and get the cards with hardware echo cancel stuff |
20:11.42 | mvanbaak | you _DONT_ want to do that in software for that many channels |
20:11.47 | JayTee52 | and correct me if I'm wrong but the PCI-Express would be way less interrupt intensive per card as most of the signalling is PIO |
20:11.57 | booray | JayTee52: I agree.. I am just wondering about scaling of the software and stuff |

22:37.42 | mvanbaak | we do that with our firewalls |
22:38.03 | mknerd | mvanbaak, there is not a server at the different clients locations, so that would not make sense |
22:38.03 | mvanbaak | they are soekris boxen without storage stuff. they all do pxeboot from a central fileserver |
22:38.03 | gitguy | how do you usually know when you have to scale up your server? |
22:38.10 | Qwell | erm /etc/config/rc.local |
22:38.15 | gitguy | or when you have to do clusters and stuff? |
22:38.36 | mvanbaak | gitguy: when your load avg is above 3 all the time |
22:38.53 | gitguy | <PROTECTED> |
22:39.00 | mvanbaak | mknerd: as long as the client location has inet access you can do that |

22:39.10 | mvanbaak | gitguy: 0.00 means the box is 100% idle |
22:39.16 | mknerd | mvanbaak, no inet means no phones then? |
22:39.18 | gitguy | ok |
22:39.26 | mvanbaak | mknerd: only on reboot |
22:39.32 | mknerd | Qwell, is that an alternate boot |
22:39.36 | mvanbaak | reboot while no inet == no boot |
22:39.49 | Qwell | it's the same as rc.local on any Linux distro |
22:39.57 | gitguy | mvanbaak: i have 33 users on this asterisk box |
22:40.14 | mvanbaak | mknerd: it loads all stuff into memory, so as long as it's not rebooting everything is there |
22:40.24 | gitguy | only 10 peers were active today |
22:40.31 | mvanbaak | gitguy: yeah, but do a core show channels |
22:40.45 | mvanbaak | my bet, only 1 or 2 calls running, without transcoding |
22:40.55 | mknerd | mvanbaak, i would still need custom stuff on each CF card |
22:41.04 | mknerd | qwell, ok, thx, i will give that a go |
22:41.05 | gitguy | mvanbaak: 0 active right now |

22:42.57 | mknerd | mvanbaak, yeah, these IVR's have a ton of custom audio and perl scripts |

22:43.27 | mvanbaak | mknerd: basically what we do is: |
22:43.38 | mvanbaak | boot all firewalls using a central boot server |
22:43.42 | wwalker | what is the actrual bandwidth needed for g729? it's 6,8,or 12 Kbits for audio, but how big is the IP overhead? |
22:44.00 | Qwell | wwalker: I think it's about 13k/s total |
22:44.00 | mvanbaak | boot all servers using a central boot server, and mount /home using a loadbalanced nfs setup |
22:44.07 | Qwell | including all overhead |
22:44.15 | mknerd | he said /etc/config/rc.local |
22:44.15 | mknerd | thats the ticket though, thanks qwell, that one saves with save_config |
22:44.51 | mknerd | firewalls don't have the need for storage like an IVR though right? |
22:44.58 | mvanbaak | â% stat /etc/config |
22:44.58 | mvanbaak | stat: cannot stat `/etc/config': No such file or directory |
22:45.08 | mknerd | no /etc/config/rc.local |
22:45.13 | Qwell | create it |
22:45.18 | mknerd | and it didn't exist, I had to create it |
22:45.22 | mvanbaak | did that on OpenBSD, Debian, Ubuntu and FreeBSD |
22:45.28 | Qwell | mvanbaak: config/ is an embedded thing |
22:45.36 | Qwell | usually it's just /etc/rc.local |
22:45.40 | Qwell | sometimes it's in init dirs |
22:45.42 | mvanbaak | embedded linux then |
22:45.58 | mvanbaak | because obsd, debian and fbsd embedded dont have it neither |
22:46.08 | mvanbaak | have a look at flashdist |
22:46.11 | mknerd | qwell, where does that execute in the boot sequence? |
22:46.21 | Qwell | at the end of etc/rc |
22:46.28 | mvanbaak | I think it's pretty specific to uclinux |
22:46.41 | mknerd | ive seen it before on redhat mvanbaak |
22:46.50 | mknerd | dont remember what version |
22:47.00 | Qwell | bbl |
22:47.01 | mknerd | im new to embedded however |
22:48.02 | mvanbaak | ah. I dont know redhat at all |
22:48.08 | mvanbaak | thank god ! |
22:50.10 | mknerd | its all the same to me really |
22:50.10 | mknerd | i mean, yeah there are differences, but as far as what i like, its much the same |
22:50.10 | mknerd | if only bsd would run vmware |
22:50.44 | alrs | mknerd: Doesn't Xen work on BSD? |
22:50.56 | mknerd | it does, but i really like vmware |

22:51.31 | mvanbaak | vmware works on bsd |
22:52.40 | mknerd | mvanbaak, no, bsd works on vmware |
22:52.42 | mvanbaak | netbsd, freebsd and openbsd all have some vmware support |
22:52.51 | mknerd | yes, as guests |
22:52.53 | mknerd | not as hosts |
22:52.56 | mvanbaak | as host too |
22:53.17 | mknerd | well, unless your programming it in your basement, or something new has come out in the last few months |
22:53.48 | mknerd | id like to see some references |
22:53.56 | mvanbaak | ok |
22:53.58 | mknerd | cause I looked really hard into that one |
22:54.00 | mvanbaak | on openbsd |

22:55.44 | mknerd | i guess we should get more specific, I was looking for vmware server |
22:56.00 | mvanbaak | that is crap anywayz |
22:56.43 | mvanbaak | IO is very bad, high probability of disk image corruption |
22:56.47 | mknerd | yeah, and so is Windows 2003 enterprise, but my terminal server alone pays me over $2000 a month |
22:56.55 | mknerd | and that running on a VM |
22:57.43 | mvanbaak | mknerd: if you can live with shitty io, almost no support for iscsi, hourly snapshots because of diskimage corruption |
22:57.46 | mvanbaak | you are fine |
22:58.03 | mknerd | havent had any trouble with it actually |
22:58.09 | mknerd | its been live for over a year |
22:58.13 | mvanbaak | try to stress it |
22:58.16 | mknerd | anyhow .. this is way off topic |
22:58.24 | mvanbaak | indeed |
22:58.24 | mknerd | why, its running great, no sense in trying to break it |
22:58.32 | mknerd | indeed agreed |

23:19.51 | wichitalineman | fopen opens, fwrite writes, fread reads |

23:20.29 | logi4023 | calls to my sip softphone do not generate call progress(ringing signal) to the caller. Is there anything specific I should have in sip.conf? |
23:20.54 | wichitalineman | the webserver and its subprocess PHP can only read/write in a limited area... your * configs aren't there |
23:21.15 | whymarkwh | thx wichitalineman i mainly use asterisk as fax server and pbx on local lan's dont link them to any providers |
23:21.15 | wichitalineman | so you'll be tempted to run the webserver as root. Don't |
