No, we do not limit these connections. 2135 was down for a day or so while it was transitioning to a new datacenter. You can also connect to 27084 as well.

Paul, I'd be interested in knowing where you are getting your information on 2135? I own 2135, and it sits in the same NOC that it has since I put it online 3 years ago. 2135 has been offline a total of 120 minutes since it has came online. We don't currently limit connections to 2135, or any other WAN Core member owned node. I can't speak for Shorty as to what happens with 2560. 2135 is a Dell 1850 with no radio hardware connected. It has two processors and 8 gigs of RAM. It's connected to the Internet directly through one edge switch and one dedicated 100 Mbps interface on WestPAnet's Cisco 7206VXR border router. The connection is not rate limited and WestPAnet is connected to our upstream provider at 1Gbps. Usually there is between 50 and 70 connections to 2135 directly. At this level of normal connectivity, there is about 3 to 4 Mbps of throughput out of the box. I have held nets for Repeater Builder that gave us in excess of 100 concurrent connections and the server loafed along. 2135 has two independent UPS's and dual power supplies. Both are backed by a automatic transfer generator. If anyone has questions about 2135 specifically or WAN in general - I'm only an email away.

Benjamin, Are you by any chance on Frontier? If so, try to reboot the router to get a new IP address assuming you are not static. My Colorado node does the same thing from time to time and they have some bad gateways floating around. Sent from my iPhone, Lu Vencl

Kevin; I to appreciate 2135, your efforts, and all the good natured sysops. I believe WAN is the best voip system in the USA, mainly because the core group is helpful. They're not out to censure or reprimand the new-bee. In short, They don't criticize users they actually offer to help when possible. No other VOIP system can honestly set claim to that. Now Then; I would very much like to ask a question, what linux version is 2135 using. Xelatec LCC 'xipar 6.3 or ACID all-star centos 5.9 Please; If you be so kind as to elaborate just enough to explain why you chose one or the other for the wan system.

Howdy Jonny, Thanks for your kind words. As all of you know, there is a big learning curve with this technology. I/we certainly don't expect that Jim Dixon or Steve RoDgers would have the time to help with thousands of AllStar deployments personally. I don't profess to be any kind of expert with Linux or anything else, although I have placed about 50 RF connected nodes on the air and have helped with many many more. The quality of AllStar spoils you, and while I was first made aware of it in 2004, it wasn't until the unveiling of the USB radio and DSP that I decided to give it a try. I have an original app_rpt/zapata radio interface board that I received in the mail from Steve. The core group tries to stay as open minded as possible. That said, we have had several things that we just couldn't deal with like Echolink drive-by's and Echolink's lack of voice quality. For those reasons, we (WAN) disallows Echolink on the current core system. We do sponsor a secondary hub that does allow Echolink, but it has fewer full time connections to it. AllStar's audio throughput is so good that when configured correctly, with quality radio hardware, will pass many digital technologies like Fldigi and similar protocols. We recently deployed a WAN Digital Hub and have started doing testing with various digital systems to determine compatibly. Like several other large hubs, 2135 has become something that requires the utmost in reliability. In the coming weeks, 2135 will be rebuilt on more modern server hardware. While the Dell 1850 has served us well, it was a used piece of hardware when it was installed. We recently received a donation of several newer servers that we will be deploying. 2135 will be an array of multiple servers with some type of fail-over. As for your question, 2135 is using an old Fedora release of XIPAR, although for this or any hub, it could just as easily have been ACID. There are differences between ACID and XIPAR, but they not significant on what release is used for a non radio connected hub. Since you asked specifically about 2135, I'll not go into the differences where radio connected servers are concerned - unless you want me to... Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving all, Kevin Custer - WJ8G
