It installs the Centos 5 Linux operating system, Asterisk (with source code including app_rpt and chan_usbradio), FreePBX, Webmin and a dynamic DNS update client. This package is unique because it installs the latest version of app_rpt directly from the developers' source code repository. And it prompts you for information that is used to set up the configuration files for your first node. Finally, there is an update utility so you can easily install new versions to simply get new features and bug fixes. Check it out at http://www.xelatec.com/asterisk/.

In the process of getting there, the repository contents are not yet reconciled with each other. Therefore, I closed it rather than everyone getting something that is broken. It should be back up Saturday. Steve H. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have the single-radio analog board which connects to my existing FXS card already but I don't want to put that up on top of a building in the long run. I'm curious if the cheap USB audio adapters (such as the one that computergeeks sells for something like $8) are a good long-term, reliable solution. I'm interested to hear from others running repeaters in good repeater sites that are using the USB ports, particularly those with repeaters in commercial or high-density sites where strong RF fields from other transmitters are common. The 4-port PCI card is certainly an option but given the price difference I would really like to make an attempt at the USB interface first but would like some advice of others on the stability/reliability of it. It won't be suitable for me if it's at all problematic as visiting this repeater site is not something I can do regularly.

So far, in our testing, we really have not seen any reliability problems stemming from USB, however, the USB just wasnt really designed to be an "unattended solution". Im sure that no matter how many times we recommend to stay away from USB in a critical situation, that there will be some that just insist on doing it anyway, and we'll just see what kind of reliability they are able to attain. Go with the Quad PCI and a fan-less disk-less embedded PC on the mountain tops. You cant go wrong.

If you did an update during that time it is possible that your version of svn_rpt_update and/or your app_rpt software will not work properly. You can do the following to make sure you get the latest software properly installed: cd /usr/local/bin wget -r http://xelatec.com/asterisk/svn_rpt_update Then run svn_rpt_update. Lots of things should be improved, most notably the delay through the system. There's more work to be done but let's see how this works. If you get a problem that just can't wait, you can call me at 678-248-2979. Dial extension 215 at the IVR. 73, Steven Henke, W9SH P.S. I still want to try and have a conference call!

I put together a MicroITX system with 2 USB Fobs and I just got in a FXO card... I have not however, installed the fxo card ... I thought I would ask you a question before I install it!! Will the system (as set up with your script) recognize the fxo when I boot it? or should I start over from scratch?? It takes me approximately .5 hours to get the asterisk APP-RPT Installed... Then I spend hours trying to get the APP-RPT setup!! heheh Also, Is the number you gave in your last email an Asterisk system??? I might call just to see how it sounds. OH>>> I also went from EVB 010 to 011 the only change I saw in it was the commercial Voip Web Page... I wish I was a programmer I would put some kind of web settup (like the FREEPBX) to set up the APP-RPT. I am working on a system that we can use in our county as a backup for telephone comms amongst first responders. Thanks for all your efforts!! they have made my efforts much easier!!
