A few different times I have attempted to get a remote base going. I am using a Doug Hall Box. I am sure I have it wired correctly. On the Parallel port I have pin 2 as serial data, 3 as serial clock and 4 as reset. If I define remote = rbi asterisk will start but the light on the usb FOB stop blinking. Once I comment out the remote = line and restart asterisk, the sound fob will start to blink again and the doug hall will reset. I decided to try defining any type of remote such as y or even ic706 and the same thing happens. When I do define remote=rbi it still will not program the kenwood radio either. I did upgrade to the latest acid svn to test as well because prior to upgrading if any remote at all was defined, asterisk wouldn't even start. It would bomb right out. At least now it start. I know this has to be something simple. Any one have any ideas as to where to start looking? I did define a remote-base stanza for functions and the only things I added other than that was. remote = rbi iobase = 0x378 authlevel = 0 I am also using usbradio. Corey N3FE
