Thanks for the input. I tried a few weeks for the free online ones. They either didn't work at all or they just converted to a docx with an image.

I ended up just passing this along to a coworker with Adobe acrobat pro

We already do that. It has helped a little, but people call when they call. They want results, etc.

Most calls are not for new business, so it's not a like a company who wants to make sure they answer the phone 90% of the time, or more, to ensure the most business. But at the same time we don't want pissed off patients who can't call and get results in a reasonable time either.

The one thing I'm not hearing are patient complaints. Sure someone might complain to the person they finally get to, but currently we don't track those, maybe we should. And we definitely aren't getting an inordinate amount of patients calling asking for the 'boss' so they can complain about a problem getting through on the phone. If that happened regularly, I'm sure we'd look at adding more staff to take care of that problem.

@scottalanmiller Social engineering is a great way to get what you want. Buffer overflows, unescaped SQL queries can be patched, people wanting to be "helpful" is an aspect of our culture and I imagine only by hiring the most irritating, least helpful people on the planet can you begin to really secure yourself against your own employees.

Reid is dead on. Since it's a vSwitch, no traffic should leave the host as long as the communications are only between those two VMs.

Even more stuff should be working now.

An interface to keep pace with SSDs 🙂

M.2 is interesting not just because it can speed up storage with PCI Express lanes, but because it can use a whole bunch of different buses too; it stands to replace both mSATA and mini PCI Express

It doesn't actually look like it will be revolutionary. It seems to be more along the lines of an adapter or go between. It still uses the same buses and still has the same limitation of the technology that it is integrated into. Will be cool and usable for the mini-pc and laptop markets but I doubt it will replace SATA in the near future.

I generally check out MNJTech and PCConnection for these types of things. MNJ has been really good at having the odd one off items.

Nice find!

While my St. Louis region voice pulse numbers all show McLeodUSA Telecommunication Services, Inc

Of note with this. Only the voice pulse lines have intermittent issues calling some numbers.

Been trying to find a problem. This may be the cause.

McLeod is a third string voice provider in the grand scheme of things, but they should have plenty of interconnects to the POTS network to route that call properly. Almost everyone in VoIP buys numbers from someone else. That's why Level3 showed up for your other lines. It keeps the VoIP provider in numbers across the country and keeps Level3 in easy money.

For your problem, gotta narrow it down. IntraLATA, InterLATA? Specific exchanges or specific numbers? SIP to SIP? SIP to POTS? Cross carriers? Or the ever so fun forward to external number that happens to be international.

@thanksaj

Yeah, all my experience has been with Windows DHCP, and you're right, configuring the DNS suffix and other options are easy as pie. On the pfSense/Linux side it's a bit...different...!

I don't have much experience with pfsense. I've played with it a little but never actually set it up and used it. YMMV

That is really nice that so many companies stepped in so quickly to remedy the situation. Kudos to them.

Maybe. But one of the main benefits I see people give for BYOD is cost savings. In your case, there is no cost savings, because the company still provides the same level of hardware and BYOD devices are just additional devices above and beyond what is already provided by the firm.

Actually in this case the costs would go up, because you would need to support an onsite guest network for those devices.

True, although most companies have that already. And technically that isn't needed, you can let people access via LTE or whatever. But that becomes pretty silly.

There we go, thanks!

@Dashrender said:

You have two things listed in your OP. It would probably be best to create two threads. One for moving from two split exchange domains to one, and second for the missing email question.

Dash - Not really about the two email domains, just the missing email message. I moved our primary to O365 a few months ago, I plan to move this over to it as well sometime this year....

Is it in her spam folder? Or how about a spam software installed on the Exchange server?

I checked the Junk folders but didn't find it there either. No SPAM folder was noticed, but I'll go back and check to ensure this tidbit.

This is almost always the case that she either has a rule that she doesn't remember putting in or it is marked as spam.

I did factor a rule issue,.. however the one rule she had didn't seem to merit causing the issue.

Sadly one item I failed to mention is that this appears to be a hit or miss issue. Same email can be sent - She'll either get it or not. I did explain to her that it could be a few things,.. word filter, attachment type or actual delivery.

But when the same message is sent 3 times, received 3 times, but only 1 shown.. seems odd.

Agreed, Polycoms rock.

No, this is whining. Wah! I've slurped your services for 10 year, why you no give me immediate service!

Opened a help ticket with Dropbox support. They said to allow 1-3 business days for response...GRR!!

Yeah, but I've been a member for close to a decade...never had an issue like this before...

No, I was just stating a fact. I'm aware of how support works...

I wasn't complaining. I know I haven't paid a penny for all that time and that my issues are way down the chain compared to their paying customers. I'm neither ignorant nor stupid. Why do you have such an issue with me Jared?

can you not upgrade with out it?

You really only choose something else if you want to scale more. The built in one is pretty limited. It's the same as using SQLite, basically. MySQL is what people use when they want something more robust.
