We are unable to add a 2nd T1 card to the PBX, so we used a CO card and connected it to the FXO ports on the Digium card. > My advice would be to get digital trunks (BRI's or PRI's), and if you need > FXS ports (for fax machines, door phones, etc), get a channel bank to > split a T1 into multiple analog lines.

We tried it (using the latest version of asterisk compiled from source), but to be honest, hit a wall when Asterisk would core dump every time a fax came in. Since we were under a bit of time pressure (to put it mildly), we went the "easy route" and just got a couple of analog lines from Qwest. This is something we definitely want to investigate in the near future, though, since it would save us a bit of cash, and add some nice functionality to the system.

Good to know. They must keep a lot of processing in the card itself, rather than sending it to the CPU, right?

Actually, in that case, a PRI would be the route to go.. BRI's are old-fashioned ISDN with 2 channels plus signalling; PRI's can have up to 23 channels (plus one signalling channel.) > We tried it (using the latest version of asterisk compiled from source), > but to be honest, hit a wall when Asterisk would core dump every time a > fax came in.

Correct - Digium gives you the prices they do by doing a lot of the processing on the host CPU; Sangoma does the processing on the card (and costs more), but also lets you do more on one box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | nate carlson | natecars at natecarlson.com | http://www.natecarlson.com | | depriving some poor village of its idiot since 1981 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From thurianknight at gmail.com Thu Mar 1 10:46:36 2007 From: thurianknight at gmail.com (Dave Sherman) Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 10:46:36 -0600 Subject: [tclug-list] Asterisk: cost of hardware?

Depending on how busy their phones are, they could "oversubscribe" 8 phones to a 2-channel BRI line, or even get 2 BRI's and have 4 channels available. Now depending on what they do for Internet access, an integrated T1 could be an ideal solution. Use 6 or 8 channels for voice, and have the rest for data.

We don't need much bandwidth for what we do and it seems to work OK, but I do wish we had bigger pipe for ISO downloads and such.

Once you've built your bootstrap directory, chroot into it. Then do an "apt-key update". That should get you going. Run "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade", and finally "apt-get clean".

Any suggestions? - Joey -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While I agree that sftp is a better choice, mainly because it plays nicer with NAT and doesn't throw plain-text passwords around, there are situations where FTP is still needed....so I'll actually answer your question. FTP runs over two ports, a command port and a data port. So far all you've been dealing with is the command port, which is why clients can connect but not actually do anything. To make things worse, passive FTP, which is the default for almost every client out there these days, has one more nasty trick up it's sleeve. In passive FTP the client connects in on a random high port for data that is agreed upon between the client and server over the command channel....unfortunately, unless you are running something like connectrac w/ iptables or punch_fw for ipfw the NAT implimentation has no way of knowing which port to expect this connection on. So you end up with a situation like this... client connects to server on command port which is punched through the NAT and says, I'd like to do a ls. Server replies back, ok, let's do that over port, uhmmm, well, let's use 10584. Client says ok, and tries to connect in....at that point your router sees a brand new connection coming in to port 10584 and has no clue what to do with it, so it gets dropped. The solution is to limit the range of data ports your FTPd can use (by default they use 1024 - 65535) and forward those through the router as well....most decent FTPd's have some sort of PassiveMaxPort and PassiveMinPort directive in them. You'll also need to tell it to use your WAN IP for passive connections....the name for this setting varies. Your other option is to run a NAT implimentation that can do connectrac or punch_fw. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel From jus at krytosvirus.com Sat Mar 3 14:09:09 2007 From: jus at krytosvirus.com (Justin Krejci) Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2007 14:09:09 -0600 Subject: [tclug-list] Fwd: IPCop, FTP server In-Reply-To: <200703031117.59906.josh@tcbug.org> References: <101e49ea0703020747j29c66bddqc599a140ed26c9e@mail.gmail.com> <45E86825.3030305@druswanderings.net> <200703031117.59906.josh@tcbug.org> Message-ID: <200703031409.10318.jus@krytosvirus.com> This is very nice and gives great visual representations of FTP communications in passive and active modes. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html On Saturday 03 March 2007 11:17, Josh Paetzel wrote: > On Friday 02 March 2007 12:08, The Wandering Dru wrote: > > Andrew Zbikowski wrote: > > > I always use the command line on > > > Linux, but there has to be a GUI client somewhere. > > > > Both Konqueror and Nautilus have the ability to connect to remote > > ssh.

My nfsroot (that was used for performing the install) had root squash on like normal, but the keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg) was root owned with restrictive permissions, so the client could not read it.

I don't know which is better for which purposes and why. There is an pay version of RealVNC that adds a few bells and whistles (like encryption) to the GPL version.

If you want it to act like a Terminal Server, and create new sessions for users as they connect (and hopefully go away when they log out), the inetd option is a reasonably simple way to do it.

Are you saying that with inetd you can automate the ssh tunneling part of the login process? That would be very cool. Getting the tunneling set up is always an annoyance. > If you want it to act like a Terminal Server, and create new sessions > for users as they connect (and hopefully go away when they log out), the > inetd option is a reasonably simple way to do it. I get that now. So terminal server isn't persistent -- the session dies when you log out. For those unfamiliar with VNC: One of the coolest things about it is that you can maintain a session, the state of which is stored on the server. If your connection is killed or you just want to go work from a different machine (e.g., at home, at the office, in the library, in a different city), you can just connect again and you will see that everything is exactly where you left it, your cursor blinking in the same place in the same window, etc. Mike From mbditt at plauditdesign.com Mon Mar 5 14:16:47 2007 From: mbditt at plauditdesign.com (Matt Dittbenner) Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2007 14:16:47 -0600 Subject: [tclug-list] Asterisk: Hardware recommendations. Message-ID: <45EC7AAF.1090304@plauditdesign.com> I've been watching the recent thread regarding Asterisk hardware. A small company I work for is looking to implement an Asterisk server to allow us to work off-site, yet still be reachable.

I am looking for some hardware recommendations, and possibly common pitfalls we might encounter attempting this setup. The machine will not likely be dedicated to Asterisk.

There's a write-up at the Free Software -Europe site: http://www.fsfeurope.org/projects/education/tgs/tagatschool8.en.html Notes on Skolelinux I stole from a different site: Description: Skolelinux is the Debian-edu project's Custom Debian Distribution (CDD) in development. It is aiming to provide an out-of-the-box localised environment tailored for schools and universities. The out-of-the-box environment comes with 75 applications aimed at schools, as well as 15 network services pre-configured for a school environment. The simple, three-question installation requires minimal technical knowledge. Skolelinux is Debian, which means, among other things, that there are no license costs or worries, and that upgrade and maintenance of the software can be done over the Internet with the power of Debian's apt-get. The core goals of Skolelinux are localisation and ease of system administration. Not technical enough? Check out the FreeNX -> Nomachine project. Looks way cool. This is pretty exciting stuff .

Certainly, many things have happened since then that could be talked about so I was wondering why there hasn't been a meeting recently.

Is finding a place to host the meeting, lack of presenters or even lack of interest in general the reason for meetings not being organized? Anyway, hope to see everyone at a meeting soon.

Seems like you may have a decimal point error here. From Voicepulse's website[1]: "However, all of our rates are between half-a-cent ($0.005) and $0.019."

I get disconnected frequently every day. Sometimes every 15 minutes or so. Very frustrating when trying to get any work done. I also have multiple telnet sessions running from my home office PC to my client's Linux server. I never lose those connections. (Unless my entire internet connections goes down, or something like that.) I just attribute it to Remote Desktop Connection being a very touchy (poorly designed?) thing. It seems to be worse when trying to type things. I can read e-mail for long periods of time with no dropped connections, but when I try answering an e-mail ... So, you're not alone.

(ssh -L 3390:windowsbox:3389 username at ssh.host.com, point the Remote Desktop Connection client to localhost:3390). I've enabled SSH keep alive in my sshd_config file, and my connection can be stable for days. I'm not sure if this works on WinXP as well, but in Windows 2000 and 2003 you can set some keep alive options via group policy. Computer Configuration > Windows Components > Terminal Services. The keep alive features are rather different from those offered by SSH however and may not make any great improvements. RDP isn't the most secure protocol in the world, better than VNC but still not overly strong. Your best bet would be be to use RDP via a VPN or SSH. -- Andrew S.

(If the bus don't go there, Pete usually don't go there.) Has We're trying to get the meeting scheduled ASAP. Another volunteer (thanks, Jeremy) has taken the initial steps in reserving a room for the EE-CSCI building. This may not be ideal, but we're trying to get the meetings going again so we're taking the road well travelled to expedite the process. We can look at changing venues for the following meetings. We are looking at having the intallfest at a library or community center or any place that has a large space where we can rearrange tables. We will be meeting soon to (hopefully) finalize the details and then we will be reporting to the LUG. If anyone has any solid leads or good ideas, please let us know. Thanks for the interest and suggestions. With the help of Clay, we have formed a small group of people to organize the next series of meetings/installfests. If you would like to help in organizing or help in any other way, send an email to the list, Clay or myself and we'll get you into the loop. Cheers!

I haven't run it for maybe 8 months now, but last I used it, it worked really well. The idea was, and probably still is, you get the free client from these German fellows: http://freenx.berlios.de/download.php. And the server, you get from NOMachine: http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1. And between the two, you have a free, lightweight server of desktop and it, in my experience, is far from bloated. Since I haven't used it in a number of months, you may want to pull up NX, nomachine, or free nx in your favorite search engine. It's worth a look.

It is aiming to provide an out-of-the-box localised environment tailored for schools and universities. The out-of-the-box environment comes with 75 applications aimed at schools, as well as 15 network services pre-configured for a school environment. The simple, three-question installation requires minimal technical knowledge. Skolelinux is Debian, which means, among other things, that there are no license costs or worries, and that upgrade and maintenance of the software can be done over the Internet with the power of Debian's apt-get. The core goals of Skolelinux are localisation and ease of system administration. Not technical enough? Check out the FreeNX -> Nomachine project. Looks way cool. This is pretty exciting stuff .

Occasionally, across town to an office but, still, good connectivity and not a lot of dropped connections. Out of curiosity, is a VPN involved during these dropped connections? If so, can the VPN be taken out of the equation while still keeping the login credentials secure across the network? May be worth a try.

I haven't run it for maybe 8 months now, but last I used it, it worked really well. The idea was, and probably still is, you get the free client from these German fellows: http://freenx.berlios.de/download.php. And the server, you get from NOMachine: http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1. And between the two, you have a free, lightweight server of desktop and it, in my experience, is far from bloated. Since I haven't used it in a number of months, you may want to pull up NX, nomachine, or free nx in your favorite search engine.

I have been using TightVNC for many years, running it as an xinetd service to allow people to use our workstations remotely. I also use it the same way at home. I tried NoMachine and FreeNX recently and after trying it several times I found the performance to
