I omitted to clarify that this test was VMWare player and, to be honest, it does appear to sound and work OK, but I’ll heed the advice that it may misbehave.
If anyone could indulge my curiosity, though, where are these 6 beeps coming from? I disabled all CTs and also copied the rpt.conf from node 2483, which has run as a hub for a couple of years, and yet it still bleeps at me! If it’s relevant, the test hub has a private node address and doesn’t register with AllStar.
So, where’s the “beepy” bit? What’s it telling me?
Ta loads.

A node on VM Player works perfectly on a Windows 7 laptop. I have a node running on this Windows laptop.
Why doesn't it work in VMWare?

Running asterisk on a VM is a no, no... it's not supported... it doesn't work... forget it...
Just goofing around, I wanted to see how well Allstar would play when configured as a hub node under VMWare.
Well, it worked and I was able to make connections to other nodes, connect with IaxRPT and all that good stuff. The thing is, it likes to beep.
When I connect the virtual hub to another node and then key that node, when I let go the button I get 6 rapid beeps followed by the courtesy beep from the node I’m accessing.
I believe that these beeps are coming from the V-Hub, but can’t figure out why.
Anyone got any ideas on this one?
