The script kiddies (and more serious people) will be banging down your port 5060, but that's taken care with a good sip config and some rate control. Maybe fail2ban.
When I was setting up offices for my company about ten years ago, at first I bought a 2nd hand telephone exchange (PABX) including telephones. I quickly found out that everything you needed was tied into software licenses and extra cost, so after spending Christmas setting up asterisk, I sold it all again and never looked back.
Yes, for an office I can very well imagine that.
I played with asterisk during a training course with a group, and I found it was a wonderful tool. We had cisco telephones.
ISTR playing with a set of Cisco DECT phones (not Linksys, maybe 7925 ?) I got cheaply off someone, but there was also a licensing issue.
My ISP changed my copper line into fibre, and now the phones in the house talk into a little box connected to the fibre named "the ONT", which does the translation to a SIP network. But they don't publish the specifications to this wonderful setup, they want people to think service is the same as it was and charge for every service.
Yes, same here. I can't blame them, it's a business, I would do the same. We're moving away from Swisscom because the new VoIP setup would require us to also have Swisscom internet, which is superfluous. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
