What's a stone crab?Central Florida, gulf coast. And stone crabs are delicious little bastards with giant claws that you can only get in the winter.

Customer dropped us and decided (because they are into "buying" their way out of problems rather than knowing what they are doing) to rip out their UBNT gear and go with something without telling us. I'm guessing SonicWall based on other factors. And now, surprise surpise, their phone calls don't work. But instead of admitting what they did and asking logical questions, they instead ask "what ports need to be open" as if you can "open ports" for scores of phones. Clearly they don't understand how to manage the IT process, nor how basic networking works, nor how to put in a ticket. Something tells me this is going to be a long road ahead for their new "IT Manager" who specializes in "replacing outsourced services."

Lol what a mess. Probably better for you that way IMO.

Well it was good for us before, then the CEO retired and all of the people associated with him were replaced by the new CEO. That included us. So things were great. We liked the customer, the customer liked us. But the new CEO didn't want loyalties to the old guard and brought in some local guy with a pretty lean resume and what was on it didn't look very capable and... here we are.

Since we now have an abundance of VoIP phones in the house, I am beginning to get the ones that we have prepped for use. First up, one for the girls' room.

For the first time in many, many years (like easily more than 20), I have my guitar, bass, trombone, and clarinet again.

Sonicwall and their Consistent NAT setting... -
@dbeato yeah, that's my guess that it is a SonicWall.
-
Their IT guy just emailed in to the ticket to try to act like he knew that replacing the router would cause issues (but didn't ask for details before replacing it nor look at the settings on the old one?) but instead of asking what needs to be done or stating that new gear was there, he just asked what ports to forward. Never mentioned a problem or anything.
The problem is that calls are intermittent, so why that would lead him to ask about port forwarding is anyone's guess.

Shame - I like them too..

@scottalanmiller Well obviously if he was capable, he wouldn't have broken things.
