sipura SPA-3000 users in Israel
Hi, I know it is not directly Linux related, but hey, I am using it with Asterisk on Linux! ;-) I have got an Sipura SPA-3000 VoIP adapter and want to use it with Bezeq for calling out. For some reason when I dial dialtones on the phone, Bezeq does not recognize them properly and makes mistakes in recognizing them. It is notable, that if during the call through the SPA-3000 I pick up another phone connected to the same Bezeq line directly (using splitter), and continue to dial the desired number on the SPA-3000 connected handset, the dialed number is recognized properly by Bezeq. I guess that the factory-default settings of SPA-3000 for dialtones is not suitable for Israel. At the SIP-3000 I have following settings (not that I am sure what they mean): PSTN Line -> DTMF Tx Method: Auto Regional->FXS Port Impedance: 600 Can someone suggest me the ways to make the SPA-3000 to dial out properly? -- Arie ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: sipura SPA-3000 users in Israel
Try changing the impedance settings to 270+750||150nF so it will match the "complex impedance" used in Israeli PSTN circuits. -- Roman 2009/3/9 Arie Skliarouk > Hi, > > I know it is not directly Linux related, but hey, I am using it with > Asterisk on Linux! ;-) > > I have got an Sipura SPA-3000 VoIP adapter and want to use it with Bezeq > for calling out. > For some reason when I dial dialtones on the phone, Bezeq does not > recognize them properly and makes mistakes in recognizing them. > > It is notable, that if during the call through the SPA-3000 I pick up > another phone connected to the same Bezeq line directly (using splitter), > and continue to dial the desired number on the SPA-3000 connected handset, > the dialed number is recognized properly by Bezeq. > > I guess that the factory-default settings of SPA-3000 for dialtones is not > suitable for Israel.

I might be a bit hijacking the thread but since I think Geoffrey uses VoIP this might be relevant still - does anyone here have a working solution for faxing over non-PSTN lines? Is Fax<->Email gateway the only way? I heard about T.38 and needing a gateway between a regular fax and something which will convert the analog signal to "Fax Over IP" (FoIP?), but so far haven't found anyone who can give me such a service or gadget. I'd like to take advantage of my All-in-one HP Photosmart printer. Right now this is the last reason I keep (and pay for) the PSTN line at home in parallel to a VoIP line.

Many stand-alone faxes actually support T.37 (basically: Fax over SMTP). T.38 is getting more or less supported in devices and softwares, though. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il || best ICQ# 16849754 || friend ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: Fax Modems?
I have a feeling that most of the PCI fax cards are really Windows type fax cards and won't work with Linux. Therefore an external Fax Modem would be preferential. This is a kin to the problem with ADSL or Cable Modem where an external router or certain external modems work. But a lot of homework needs to be done which will support. Maybe those using Mac computers will do the job.

The round trip time to a well connected (read: 0% packet loss) server in Israel from an Israeli ISP, where Israel here is defined as "connected to the IIX", is under 50ms. On a 150kbit upload ADSL upload of a 1500 bytes packet takes about 85ms. To send out the VoIP packet would take another 85ms (on condition that you have a really good QoS). This causes latency of 85-170ms with jitter 85ms. The VoIP speech (SIP protocol) has a lot of skips and is unacceptable. ahem... accept in real life VoIP packets are rarely larger then 250 bytes (most of the time then are not over 100 byes) and that the SIP protocol doesn't actually carry any media (read: voice) information - that is left for RTP.

It could be that that adapter reserve some BW for the sip packets. SIP doesn't actually carry voice, only the control information. Voice is carried in RTP packets and they are normally around 100 bytes. In any case, my experience is that both 750K ADSl/cables is sufficient for a good quality phone service, with a lightly usage for internet and phone. The sip adapter I initially had was made in the US. I assume they use a US proven technology. My current sip adapter is made by AudioCodes. 012 claims that the sip adapter they provide should work with any ISP. I had two ISPs, and in my case their claim is justified.

Thanks for a Wonderful Tel Aviv FOSS Club Meeting
Hi all! Yesterday Erez (Doron) gave a talk to Telux about receiving Private Satellite Television on Linux. The talk was very interesting, and I found it especially encouraging that many people came to hear the talk and the room was at least half-full. I'd like to thank Erez for volunteering to give a presentation, and all the people who attended the meeting and made it such a success. Some of them asked questions or made insightful comments throughout the presentation, which made it even more interesting. Some of us went to a nearby café after the meeting - so thanks to all of those who went there. I'll put the presentation slides on the club's website as soon as Erez sends them to me, but you really should listen to him giving the presentation if you're interested in learning more about this subject. The club homepage is: http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/telux/ We don't have anything scheduled for now, so if you have an interesting subject, we'd love to hear you present it. Note that the presentation can only last an hour because it starts at 18:30 and we have to evacuate the class at 19:45. Maybe I'll hack something two weeks from now. Possible options are: 1. Some short presentations, possibly including a Tel Aviv-based re-run of the "There are too many ways to do it" talk that I had already given to the Jerusalem Perl Mongers. 2. I can try to convince Lisha to give her Emacs presentation again, this time while being better prepared. 3. Maybe Gabor would like to give a presentation about wxWidgets/wxPerl programming (this time without Padre). 4. Can someone give a presentation about NIS/NFS administration in Linux? There was some interest for it during the Welcome-to-Linux series. 5. Other suggestions will be appreciated.

When I asked on the Hylafax support list I was told it did not work at all. Vonage in the US, provides lines provisioned for FAX, and if you just have a voice line, you can dial *99 as a prefix and get a FAX connection. It did not work from here when I had a Vonage line.

In case anyone needs to know, it works fine on a HOT voice line, but unlike the other alternative voice lines sold here, it is NOT VoIP.

Bezeq already offers you a service to get your faxes through email. I never understand why people consider a faxed document as a proof for anything.
