Hi, Anyone has a working config? Can't make askterisk to connect to cisco and vice versa via the SIP :/ Help! :-( m.

Hi, One of of Asterisk Extensions is on the end of a wireless link. It all works fine, unless one of the users at that end us upload/downloading a file to/from the server. What is the easiest way of putting QoS on the connection to retain a bit of bandwidth for voice calls?

Hi Just a few questions to you experts out there before i go for voip at home.

I have been reading up on VOIP and firewalls - Seems they don't mix too well :-) Now if one does not have a VOIP/SIP aware firewall then the only option is to open up to UDP traffic. This comes, quite rightly, with all sorts of dire warnings. But *if* the specific IP address being used was dedicated to phone hardware rather than a computer I can't think of any problems it could cause. Am I...

I've had my SPA-3000 successfully working for both incoming and outgoing calls to/from the PSTN but outgoing calls have stopped working!! I'm using Asterisk@Home and I don't think I've changed anything... Here's the debug output of the Sipura (on 10.0.0.252) when I place a call from an Asterisk extension: ---Log starts

Are there any services that allows TOTALLY free calls to UK Landlines via Voip? Sidk

Anyone having problems with voipfone? Any number I dial, including 1571 & 1471, gives me unobtainable and dialled in calls go straight to the voicemail. I do get the dial tone OK. Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.

BUT when i call from my landline or mobile it does not connect (error in connection) is the message on my Nokia, sometimes i hear a ring tone USA one but my sip phone does not ring!

Hello, I have a problem regarding the sipura SPA-3000. I have connected it to my PBX (Siemens Hicom 100E) and its reachable under the #15. When I call the 15 I get a tone. I dial the number, get the message from my provider how much the call costs and it begins to ring. But after 30 seconds (no matter if the call has been answered or not) the device hangs up and the call ends. I don't know...

Hi everybody Is there a newsgroup, or FAQ for Skype? Kang

Some readers of this group will be aware that I've promised to detail my findings from an analysis of SIP calling problems I've been experiencing recently with Sipgate. Well this is now done. The full report (27 pages) is sat on my anonymous FTP server and can be downloaded. It makes interesting reading, discussing problems that result in the lack of a ring tone and call failures. The report...

Can't check this from my desk here at work, so - can anyone advise which time zone the VoipStunt call log uses? Cheers

I've been having a play with internetcalls.com's free VoIP software as a first step into VoIP calling the PSTN. I'm generally pleasantly surprised, but there were a few things I'd like to improve before going ahead and maybe buying some better equipment/services. I wonder if anyone could say if these are general problems with VoIP or whether buying an ATA, using SIP software on a PC, or a...

Hi, Has anyone got a SpeedTouch 716wl working with Sipdiscount? If so how easy is the 716wl to setup? Thanks for your help. Regards Jerry

Just tried several test calls on my 3 Sipgate lines, to/from other Sipgate numbers, the PSTN and a Gradwell number, all went through first time with no problems, so maybe they are finally getting things done. We can but hope, anyway..! Incidentally, if anyone wants a Sipgate number to make some test calls to, my speaking clock on 1431320 (020 7043 1320 from PSTN) is feeling a little...

I have an account withwww.iInternetcalls.com and noticed that they have been charging for calls that their listing shows as being free. Has anyone else found this?
