NEWBIE alert: i'm a linux person, not an asterisk person so i'm certainly capable of handling any linux-flavoured solution you can suggest. here's a note i got from a local company i know (some proper names removed): ===== start ===== Now and again our ISP goes down and when it does give us a hicup, the Asterisk system shuts down (not very forgiving). When it shuts down our phone system as well goes down. This will need some visitation as to a resolution however would it be possible for now to have a heartbeat happening on the ISP so that should it go down, a email is generated to myself advising that this has occurred. This will then notify me to reboot the tribox. Let me know if this is doable. ===== end ===== so, is there an easy fix for this? if the ISP goes down, does that necessarily mean that trixbox has to go down as well? or should i be asking this question on a trixbox-specific list? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P. J. Day Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA Trixbox (Asterisk) should not "go down" when the ISP does. Of course the actual process wouldn't "go down", just the connectivity (assuming SIP connections/trunks). The BOBW solution I would suggest is that you run your Trixbox/Asterisk using a local DCHP provider/server so you aren't as vulnerable to how efficient your ISP is at staying up. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
