Difference between Dial and Acid
I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I was unable to find on Google search a simple list of features that Dial will get me over my current Acid setup. Can I get an opinion of whether it’s advantageous to migrate to Dial? N7OKN John Griffith Mesa, AZ
John, DIAL is simply current AllStar Asterisk on the current version of Debian. There are no added features. Here is the FAQ: <http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/170> 73, Steve N4IRS On 4/4/2016 10:58 AM, John Griffith wrote:

i would say the main difference is the improved stability of Debian over CentOS, and the expanded set of supported hardware offered by Debian. CentOS is a pain on newer hardware. Thanks, Bob kk6ecm 73 Sent from iPad

I might be wrong but ACID needs constant internet, if Ethernet gets unplugged, only a reboot will get it back on the Internet. DIAL supports hot plugging in the Internet, swapping it out with another network etc. At least on my Dell old tower PC, an outage of Ethernet required me to reboot the machine to get internet to work again. Maybe it was a hardware problem something specefic to my computer. I never tested it on DIAL before I switched to the PI for AllStar On Monday, April 4, 2016, John Griffith <jcarl.griffith@gmail.com> wrote:

well on my acid install, I noticed that I could unplug the ethernet cord or plug it into a different network and it would eventually reconnect. Sometimes it took as much is 5 minutes for it to reconnect but I didn't really have to reboot it. On Apr 4, 2016 4:40 PM, "Skyler F" <electricity440@gmail.com> wrote:

The question comes down to the differences between Centos 5.x and Debian 8.x Install media: CD only or CD and USB flash Kernel version: 2.x or 3.x Support for newer hardware Supported updates of distribution Zaptel vs DAHDI Ongoing AllStar support. The old adage applies, If it works, don't fix it. If you are happy with ACID keep it. If you are doing a new install, it's up to you. Understand, I'm slightly biased. 73, Steve N4IRS

Adding 'allow-hotplug eth0' to the /etc/network/interfaces helps on some Ubuntu systems. This tries to reconfigure the port when the link status changes. Some systems appear to need it, on others it appears to be the default. It doesn't hurt to add it. ================================================================ Dr. Willem A.
