CVoice v.6
I've been graciously receiving CiscoPress books for review for a while now so it's about time I actually, you know, review one. First up is the newest CVoice book: I'm going through a re-cert process right now but I'm also trying to…
Asterisk trunks and order of precedence
Well, I've learned something that should have been painfully obvious. I had the following configured for that SIP trunk to the Cisco router I mentioned: context=from-internal allow=ulaw disallow=all dtmfmode=rfc2833 host=192.168.169.2 insecure=very ipaddr=192.168.169.2 port=5060…

Broken FreePBX
I'm not sure how it happened but it would seem FreePBX didn't install right on the RaqBuntu. I've bene trying to figure out why things won't register and calls won't go through. Turns out the include statements didn't…
