Help!</div><div>They then retry the exact same steps without trying to understand where it fail. If you do something and it fail, it will not work if you repeat the same action again and again and expecting a different outcome. Then frustration comes in and the f*** with that s*** it is a badly desing software, it does not work and will never do.... blah,blah,bla...<br><br>But almost all the people on this list know that it works and very well I must say.

No where was it possible that a software in Linux could do the real control.. And we are not talking about someone dumb. He just got pass 55.

I've been teaching to adults since 1997. first in my feild of expertise, security system and electricity. Now ham radio and other stuff..

Yes they can be.. this does not make them right to be for the simple reason that if someone else been able to make this software works, there are no reason that they could not do it with some effort. Like I love to say. If a human did it, another one can do the same. Just need to learn how to.<br><br>I am no better then the average joe. My only good thing is a moderatly good memory and a bad case of acheiving what I want to do,no mather what. </div><div><br></div><div>To the original poster, Yes the software is working and have a zillion options possibility. No it is not the simplest software to tackle along.</div><div><br></div><div>Yes the raspberry pi image is simple to install.

<p>Let me say this, and please know that I am not picking at anyone.
No disrespect intended.<br>
</p>
<p>Running a Open Source Asterisk Server, before you make radios as
phone extensions,</p>
<p>requires skill and knowledge of Linux operating system,</p>
<p>And the Open source Asterisk Telephony System,</p>
<p>Some, not all know something of programming and or shell scripts.<br>
</p>
<p>Some, not all taking this to task also have no electronics
knowledge,</p>
<p>Some, not all know something of radio repeater systems. Function
and terminology.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So, if anyone thinks, when they can't check at least half of
those boxes above, that this is just going to be easy when you may
not know of the terminology alone to ask the right questions...
think again.</p>
<p>Many volunteers put this together. I too can complain about the
lack of GREAT documentation but know that it is all work in
progress and someone has to take their free time to bring that to
you. I have taken time to contribute to the wiki but find it very
messy from the structure of it to find anything, let alone add to
it.<br>
</p>
<p>To fill-in the gaps, we have this email posting board to help
each other. And admins and authors read and reply also.<br>
</p>
<p>If you are not going to use it to get help and understanding when
you first run into a problem, it then becomes your fault that you
don't or can't understand your issues.</p>
<p>Personally, I don't have all the answers but nobody has the
answers to questions that are not asked.</p>
<p>But ask your question.</p>
<p>Include the version of software you are working with,</p>
<p>Include the hardware you are applying it to since a Pi is much
different than a PC. And a HF remote base is quite different than
a repeater.</p>
<p>AND/OR include the method of COR/PTT usb radio type interface
etc.</p>
<p>The better you include this info and any 'outside the norm
things' you are doing,</p>
<p>the more and better the answers you are likely to receive. I
don't like spending the next 6 emails just to find those things to
give you a accurate answer and likely, I will not reply. (I may
not be alone)<br>
</p>
<p>I often give bad answers because it was not clear to me what you
have or what you are doing with your issue.<br>
</p>
<p>Anyway, know that I feel your pain and frustration, that's why I
spend time paying attention to the mail board and I have better
things that can be done also.</p>
<p>The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Everyone here
knows it is not always so easy. That's why we are here.<br>
</p>
<p>Also know I have always said, "if it works out of the box, you
learn nothing". How do you grow/create your own with that ? You
might as well pay someone to fix it for you when it's broke or
want to create something out of the ordinary.<br>
</p>
<p>All that said, it has been my personal recommendation for many
years that if you are a total newb to all of this, to create your
server and one node that works with dahdi-pseudo channel driver
and get network connectivity and understand the command structures
before you proceed to add radio/external ports. Take that for what
it is worth in your circumstance. Most folks make it harder on
themselves to take this all in, by trying to do it all at once.
And when there is a issue in the end, it becomes hard for anyone
to figure out at what level the issue is.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>My hope is that many of you get in depth with how all this works
and provide the next level of 'cool stuff' going forward.<br>

<p>You might start with a specific question and if you
wish to provide a
statement,</p>
<p>make it the version of software you are questioning
and the hardware you are
applying it to.</p>
<p>You might include what you have accomplished and
working so we know where
you are.</p>
