Waiting on our hosted spam filter to get back online.
Who do you use? I've with with Appriver for 15+ years and never had an outage.
Hiwaay. Some podunk BS out of Huntsville, AL. Have I mentioned that my bosses, while quite tech savvy, are also very nostalgic? This is the same service we have had since 2008, when the company was in Huntsville.

Well, if this is a regular problem, maybe it's time to switch.
I'll be ditching my hosted spam filter next summer when we migrate to O365 (I hope).

Eh we're adding a barracuda in the next month. Office365's spam filter does a decent job, but not an amazing job.

This is only the second outage in 3 years, so it's not a huge issue. I'd still love to switch to something else, as their interface feels cheap and outdated.

And doesnt have those handy backdoors like the Barracuda.

@wirestyle22 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
@coliver Any physical phone recommendations?
We normally use Yealink too for hard phones. Plus Snom is good. Polycom is good but very expensive. Ubiquiti looks awesome but we've not tried them ourselves yet. Sangomo has some nice looking stuff.
-
@scottalanmiller From what I read, Ubiquiti phones require the security appliance currently.
EDIT: The currently part of this is incorrect.

@coliver My own PBX.
Do you have hardware you can run it on?
Not currently, no. I wanted to compile information before I purchased
Well you can easily run a PBX in a VM. FreePBX is the way to go and is basically an appliance. Download the iso and install it on a VM. Then look at options for SIP trunks (or use Google Voice) and you will be good to go.
That's it? Crazy. You think I should go with the Ubiquiti phones? I read something (granted it was from 2015) that said the security gateway was required for them. Unsure if this is still the case.
They work with any standard SIP based system. They are designed to work with the USG though.
I do not see the value int he devices. They are too expensive for general use desk phones.
I mean, yeah, I would love to have one and see if they work well. But they are just too expensive to be realistically used everywhere.
Get a Yealink T40P for like $80 or less for home.

They do not and never have. They are designed for it. they work with any SIP based PBX.

^my reference point. Granted it was awhile ago. They probably changed it (I'm sure you would know better than I).

The accepted solution (from a UBNT employee) says you don't need the USG.

Yeah but there is another employee further down that says it is required. It also says initially in bold though.

I'm keeping my eye on it... MSI and Razer make some good laptops although they are a bit overpriced.

So much for the "give it 10 minutes and try again" from the spam filter folks. The obviously have a bigger problem than they admitted to on the phone w/ me.
