For those stumbling in here down the road, the current consensus is that FreePBX is the better option for your new PBX. Elastix 4 did release, but is not being updated enough to remain a contender at this point.

Cool, thanks.

Sounds like you phone is not putting the PC poet on VLAN 1

The one feature that I really loved with 3CX was the incredible ease of setting up soft phones over a VPN. They do that beautifully.

Great news of course, but I just do not know if I can trust them to keep it up to date.

I'd be curious to know that too, especially after your adventure with yum updates and going from Elastix 2.4 to 2.5.

Digging through my notes I also have a note that Cox had to switch from a Atrica to Alcatel SBC. At least that was their claim. In the end they didn't swap the box and instead made changes to the existing Atrica.

That's an odd answer - especially given they are apparently introducing a new system with Hylafax.

That is not an odd answer. They have an existing VM infrastructure. Normal business do not look to change core infrastructure every time they look at adding a new VM for some task or another.

Asking if there is any compatibility issues is a very normal thing that has to be done with ANY system.

Answer the question that was asked without tossing in craptastical bias.

Want to toss in the rest of your opinion? Great! Don't lead with it.

Back to the OP's question. I have never ran any type of 2008R2 Hyper-V servers. I know that Hyper-V prior to 2012 had many issues compared to ESXi. Which is why all of my clients started out on the virtualization path using VMWare.

Sounds like.... fun?

@scottalanmiller Can I borrow your password for a few weeks? I need to watch Game of Thrones after I finish the books, lol.

OH okay. I think maybe someone responded to you about your setup or something and then it looked like there had been a question that there wasn't. Thanks for clearing that up.

you are welcome

Likely you need to open some ports so the can communicate both ways.

I also noticed if I used the *78 to activate DND/*79 to deactivate DND, I can't reverse DND from the soft button because the phone assumes it's already in the desired state. I can activate (on) DND, then turn around and deactivate it.

Just something to keep in mind, in case anyone was wondering.

I'm confused... So what you're telling me is, in a digital system (and possibly in my Mitel VOIP/SIP system too) that the call control isn't handed off to the phone, but is asterisk it is?

We used Mitel PBX and IP Phones at the town. Yes they call it a hold but it was basically a parking lot. Are there was a Individual Hold which placed it at the phone (could not remote pick up) or a System Hold which placed it on the PBX's parking lot hold. We just programed the buttons to do the system hold. It's different vendor terminology but it's the same thing.

So the parking lot # it put it at was always it's own extension? OK that would make total sense... the guys who set it up must have done that then...

They seem to have completely missed the boat. Maybe they meant this for home users?

Maybe but how many home users will switch to Linux?

Good timing...

I read that....but i want a client. we want more we want more.

I thought I read somewhere there was a client that worked with Hylafax, but I'd rather punch a wall and break my hand than try messing with it.

baha good luck with that! yes, i have tried a couple oft these clients to no avail.

We use an international blocking trunk provider. It's great peace of mind.
