[UPDATED INFORMATION IS HERE][1] I have been trying to get SPANDSP working for a number of days now with Asterisk 1.4. Last night I finally got it to compile, and somewhat work, however when I try to receive a fax, it immediately segfaults asterisk. Perhaps someone out there who knows more about coding, or the asterisk internals can tell me why, and fix it? Anyway, here’s the beginning of a SPANDSP / Asterisk 1....

There has been lots of recent talk about getting app_cepstral to work with Asterisk 1.4 on the users mailing list. I decided it was time for me to get it working again, and I found that app_cepstral is now depreciated in favour of app_swift. Which actually works out of the box with Asterisk 1.4. Continue reading for the howto!’,0,0,‘1. First, I downloaded Cepstral (8Khz Telephone Version) # wget http://downloads.cepstral.com/cepstral/i386-linux/Cepstral_David-8kHz_i386-linux_4.1.4.tar.gz Then, I untarred the file into a new directory...

I wanted to upgrade my PBX from 1.2 to 1.4, and during the process decided to format my box, and start fresh from Gentoo 2006.1. I’ve documented the process here for everyone to help with getting Asterisk 1.4 working, including the GUI if you want it. I run Asterisk from command line, with a local Apache Daemon, and MYSQL running for Callerid Storage. Readon! Prerequisites: Gentoo Universal or Minimal Installation CD Computer Some Time Internet Connection Apache Web Server 2....

I was doing some reading recently and came across a few people doing some rolodex’s for asterisk to re-write the callerid name. Some of them require mysql, some postgresql, some use the asterisk internal database. I wasn’t sure I liked what was available, so with the help of a friend we worked up this little script to modify/add/delete entries into the callerid database on asterisk. It’s a very simple interface, but it works....

This Icecast howto for Openbsd is a small tutorial I made to setup the radio to stream multiple streams to internal and external addresses. You may need to modify the scripts to work on linux, but once you do, you can stream cool things to asterisk. Might be really old by now, as it was written in 2004, but it may be helpful to someone, so I’m putting it here for archival purposes 🙂...
