[asterisk-users] Asterisk on VMware Workstation 6

[Dean Collins]

Mike, 

 

Buy an asterisk appliance like http://www.taa.com/products-vdex-40.html
problem solved.

 

If you are worried about good call quality it's either a dedicated pc or
a dedicated appliance, one or the other.

 

 

 


Cheers,

Dean

Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on VMware Workstation 6

 

Hi, i am running a small personal asterisk server for my business, and
instead of getting a dedicated machine to run linux which would waste
power and money i decided to run it on my windows xp sp2 machine.  The
machine is barely used but it does have some crucial programs i need to
run in windows so reformating or dual booting is not an option.

 

Its basically a iax2 connection to my voip provider and a sip connection
to my phone.  It does work well, but the calls especially the voicemail
are all garbarled alot.  Its definetly not the provider or internet
connection because i use this provider for many clients asterisk setups
and i also even setup a temp. asterisk setup on this very pc to test to
make sure it was infact vmware causing the problem.  

 

I upgraded from vmware player to the latest vmware workstation hoping
that would fix the problem since its a better system but it hasnt.  I
also installed and compiled the vmware tools when  i installed
workstation version.  

 

Is this a known issue with vmware?  Is there a way to correct the issue
either on the windows/vmware side or on the asterisk/linux side?  Any
other ways to do this project?  i looked into astwind or something but
either couldnt get it to work or it was unreliable.

 

thanks

 

mike
