[Asterisk-Users] Bristuff and incoming call problems

[Rob Scott]

I have exactly the same problem.
It was also the same with RC3.
It seems that after a couple of days of working fine, at some point
incoming calls fail but outgoing calls still work (or I would hear user
complaints earlier).

For the lack of ring problem, I do the following in extensions.conf:

[fromexternal]
exten => s,1,Ringing
exten => s,2,Wait,3
exten => s,3,Answer
exten => s,4,Wait,1
exten => s,5,Background(enter-ext-of-person)

So Asterisk singals a ringing tone for 3 seconds so that the caller's
phone has a chance to ring, then answers and plays the 'enter the
extension of the person you want to call' thing while at the same time
listening for digits.

I don't know if this is the right or expected approach but it works for
me.

Hi list!

I have some strange problems with Asterisk 1.0.5-BRIstuffed-0.2.0-RC5.

Very regularly asterisk seems to lose connectivity with the ISDN line.
If you try to call in you get the information tone that the number is
not in use. Outbound calls do stil work however. Unloading the modules
and reloading them and start/stop asterisk will solve the problem.

Another problem that occurs regularly : When you make an inbound call to
asterisk the calling party does not get the tone that the phone is
ringing on the receiving end. The line just seems completely dead untill
the phone is picked up and you can hear the other party. Is this an
asterisk / bristuff problem or something for the telco to sort out? Who
should generate the ringing signal to the calling party?

Thanks!!!
Remco
