No, you accept calls identified by the Telco.
Which nowadays includes Skype calls with CLID=000. It also includes calls with suppressed or unavailable CLID. I guess calls with suppressed CLID could still be known by the telco.
Yes, they are known by the telco, and the suppression can be denied if you are some institution like the police or emergency service. Maybe some call centers like banks, not sure.
Ah ok, I did have the feeling the telco sh/would know.
They both include all kinds of unidentified/able calls. I would like to be able to ignore all calls with suppressed CLID, but unfortunately some banks practice that by default. (and apparently the employee cannot manually "un-suppress" it).
I believe the practice was ruled illegal here, in Spain. Any business call must have call ID. Nowdays when I see a call without ID I know it is a phony business and I tend to not lift the phone.
Same here, but my wife works for a bank, and all outbound calls have suppressed CLID. I don't know the reasoning. It might be banking secrecy related.
You can encrypt both login data and conversations (two separate configs). We did that during my training.
You're right, SIP can be done with TLS, but I don't think our Asterisk supports it (1.4.x, it's back-level).
Ah, that's possible.
The asterisk documentation warns about many security risks and say that you must keep your installation updated :-)
Yup, we're on the most recent 1.4.x :-) - I think the next release is 1.8, but lots of stuff changed so we're staying with 1.4.x until we cannot avoid upgrading. That's the problem with stuff that just have to work - you don't get to work on it very often. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
