Ahem, also I am still stuck with this $800 set from Konftel
It is yours now for... $349 (extra battery , VOIP/DECT adapter, everything) brand new unused.
I have sold almost everything else. Big Bears Voip and Garage Overstock is almost closed... 300wx conference kit +300wx dect base station +300wx extra battery
Which reminds me of my first menial task in the Mead datacenter in 2001, deleting office tmp files from our 200 netware file shares every day.
Also, ushering in and out tape backups to the daily pickup company who took them offsite for rotation.
@eddiejennings said in Need some Yaelink Material:
Yeah, it's fax to E-mail.
My fax number with voip.ms is configured to send an E-mail to [email protected], which is a mail-enabled public folder. Users who would normally have access to the fax machine at work have access to the public folder. I've also granted access to our work-from-home folks. In the E-mail to fax section, I've added the E-mail addresses of everyone who should be allowed to send faxes. I also configured a security code. So they have to email [email protected] and the subject is
10DigitRecipientFaxNumber.SecurityCode.System isn't as robust as some you can get, but for what little faxing we do it works. Looks like we has 20 faxes total last month (22 pages). Most inbound. I think the only outbound faxes were my test faxes.
So just using for inbound through voip.ms?
My experience is that if there are a few pages these kinds of services work fine. When its 20+ and especially hundreds its near impossible to get things through. Mainly in the medical field.
But still, you used to need a fax server to do fax2email so it is good to know voip.ms is offering this servie.
@jaredbusch said in Responsive Firewall and external FreePBX users:
@bigbear when using STUN, does the registration come from the STUN server or the device? I never tested this.
I dont know, I never had to set a STUN server. Believe it is using RPORT.
The devs had cited mobile phone apps as something they hadn't decided on a solution for when it was last asked about months ago. Something about the responsive firewall reading the event logs and being 15 seconds behind because of it.
Pretty simple, User must access from your web app from customer wan address range initially, place a session cookie without expiration for 30/60/90 days and just keep them logged in that way.
It’s definitely something you can resolve within your web server and app without tunnels or proxies.
Anything else you are referring to would require IT planning from the university side.
I agree. Nothing more frustrating than having to schedule a meeting a week out, sit through a boring demo, only to find (just as you suspected) it was way overpriced to begin with.
If the concern is that the buyer needs to be shown all that value, handle it be making a better website that explains whatever that extra value is.
I have sat through meetings where I did discover things that changed my mind about the higher price, but it could easily have been placed on the website.

Is there a Telegram group chat for ML?
May be less secure but for this situation may be a better use case...
Yes. Just called MangoLassi. It is a public group.
Dash invited me in, he and I are just talking private chat at the moment.
Looks WAY better.

@scottalanmiller
Make sense, but have you "invested" in a cryptocurrency that you have faith will be of some worth down the line. Also what term would you use other that investment?Heck no, I think it's a crazy market to get into. Sure the potential gains are large, but the risk is enormous and based on nothing.
Yeah at this point, even if there is still growth to $100k to $1mm, its still not going to be as rewarding as it is for those who stumbled in early and stuck around.
Blind luck, no one could have predicted it.
I have been researching and working on the same thing for a long time.
I know in the past there were a lot of ways to "game" your results, like link networks, but these are now penalized by Google.
If you think about it, Google wants every result to be relevant. So if your content, services and geography is relevant you will appear in the results. You used to have to "build" SEO, but those things seem to have very little impact on SEO anymore. Things you can not control (like people searching for something and picking a particular link) have more impact that back links and other SEO strategies. Page content means a lot more than metadata.
There are good plugins out there as mentioned above that are the best place to start, plus setting up a Google Business Page has a huge impact on returned results in your area.
IDK, Has anyone here ever watched Mad Men?
Its not a "wheel"... its a "time machine".
Here is a guide to using Sangoma SBC with FreePBX
I use Opensips for signaling and permiter security with Freeswitch, even though freeswitch has domain filtering and sip profiles built in.
I also use Physical Genband and ACME packet SBC’s because they have physical CPU’s that can handle real time transcoding of tens of thousands of sessions concurrently, which a software solution can’t do. That is more typical for trunking but also necessary for things like Office 365 and Skye for Business calling integration.

@jaredbusch said in UNMS vs Unifi for a deployment "today":
You can click on almost any IP on any screen and it will pop it into a browser window. So if you have rules setup for that, you will be taken directly to the unit's login.
The only thing I can see suited to their described needs in the Unifi is the ability to use the web browser or mobile app to remotely look at what is going on with internet access when users start complaining about the speed slowing down.
Then the IT person can log in to UNMS and see what the overall speeds and such are. If there is a specific issue, they can log into the specific site. But this is a business and this below should not be an issue.
I have a Unifi at home and I use the mobile app to block my kids at night, and can see they are on Youtube, etc.
This is not a feature that should be used in a business. It is a business, not a fucking adult daycare.
I dont think they intend to use as such other than to figure out where the bottlenecks are while they are occuring.
Personally, I dont think there are bottlenecks, I think its the Sonicwall stuff they currently have.
Been on the phone with the "computer person" at this new account. This place is like the Wild West of IT. They have nothing. No remote control. No remote access. Just a bunch of Free standing Windows 10 computers and Office 365. Some Windows 7 as well I am learning.
No servers. Sonicwall firewalls. Apparently this guys only job is to screw with their desktops and the Sonicwall to try to block people from not working. Ridiculous, but I am glad we are just doing the voice.
I've thought about giving them SodiumSuite, but no remote control it looks like. Is there any free remote control app out there anymore? I have been trying to setup an end user to get a Chrome Remote Desktop session going for 40 minutes.

It's rare for us to purchase new workstations (generally it only happens when we have a new hire). On High has dictated that everyone have a dual-monitor setup, which is nice :smiling_face: . The last several purchases have been laptops, which just dock at locations which already have monitors. This is the first desktop purchase in years, which requires monitors; thus, I was curious how you folks approach it.
Dell Outlet is another option.
You can call and negotiate with Dell Outlet reps and have them hold inventory, too. They allow you to sort the live inventory (Cancelled orders, returns, refurbished) so you know what you are getting.
However, I can't imagine the need for Dell anymore. Onsite support is a crap shoot and with the Intel NUC-ish hardware + SSD Drive and Windows 10 restore options seems like it will be less hassle to manage yourself.
you're deploying NUCs in your office these days?
I am not deploying anything, but from my own experience with them at home I don't see any reason to use anything else.

Yeah, a NUC is more than enough for normal office work.
No don't do it. Win10 requires 2GB ram. Office also has a minimum. FF or Chrome also has a min. Keep adding software and you will quickly find that your 4gb system will be nothing but problems for the user.
4gb was fine up until a couple years ago. 6gb is min now with 8gb ram being ideal.
Maybe you get lucky and a user will be fine with only Windows and Edge... And use absolutely nothing else, ever. Then okay, but it will still be a pain for them .
We got 16gb in ours, what is the 4gb about?
@mike-davis said in MTU size > 1500:
I have a VoIP provider that wants me to set the MTU size on the outbound interface of my firewall to 65507. What are the ramifications if I go beyond 1500? I understand their VoIP system may be able to handle fragmented UDP packets, but does that create the potential to mess anything else up?
I feel like this is a miscommunication. For Level 2 switching you cant exceed 1500, 1518 actually and 18 bytes for overhead.
If there is additional overhead then you would need to set a smaller MTU size to ensure you aren't exceeding the threshold. Not the other way around. Is the VOIP service delivered over VPN, the only cause I can think of here.
@mike-davis said in MTU size > 1500:
So I did this test:

When I test now, it's 28 bits lower. Is that to be expected, or is something wrong? Should the BLF thing be resolved?

What you are doing thus far is common with adsl and firewalls.
What is the BLF issue? What phone and platform?
Okay I read the whole thread.
You should know Polycom has a hard limit of 50 BLF keys on most models. I know you said 48 but you probably aren’t counting line buttons.
@brrabill said in Potential Office365 (Exchange Online) Throttling Issue:
I used IMAP to download the messages to a new profile with no issue.
What file format did you download to? You can still create a non-exchange profile and import to a PST file, then upload that to Azure using AzCopy.
Also for $10 or $12 you can use IMAP to 365 with BitTitan Migrationwiz which you may find much simpler, since its only this single mailbox.
I will admit MigrationWiz is much simpler and it does multiple passes. Just gets expensive when you have hundreds of mailboxes.
