De tarieven om via VOIP naar Indonesia te bellen verschillen sterk per provider, afhankelijk van de bestemming in Indonesia. Naar aanleiding van de tarieven in 3/2010 van diverse providers heb ik het volgende overzicht gemaakt.

Hierop gebaseerd kan eenvoudig een Asterisk dialplan ingesteld worden, zodat automatisch de gunstigste provider gekozen wordt.
In ‘extensions.conf’:
exten => _06X. ,1,Macro(trunkdial,SIP/voipcheap/${EXTEN}) ;mobiel NL
exten => _08X. ,1,Macro(trunkdial,SIP/xs4all/${EXTEN}) ;08xx nrs
exten => _09X. ,1,Macro(trunkdial,SIP/xs4all/${EXTEN}) ;09xx nrs
exten => _1X. ,1,Macro(trunkdial,SIP/xs4all/${EXTEN}) ;112, en zo
exten => _006221X. ,1,Macro(trunkdial,SIP/xs4all/${EXTEN}) ;Jakarta
exten => _00628X. ,1,Macro(trunkdial,SIP/voipcheap/${EXTEN}) ;mobiel ID
exten => _0X. ,1,Macro(trunkdial,SIP/lowratevoip/${EXTEN}) ;overig
Bovendien moeten de bijpassende login-gegevens gedefinieerd worden in sip.conf voor de verschillende accounts ‘xs4all’, ‘voipcheap’ en ‘lowratevoip’.
The standard Ubuntu installation comes already with a pretty complete set of software packages. Next to the standard set of packages I install on my desktop/laptop:
- ubuntu-restricted-extras: allerlei extra fonts, video codecs, etc.
- default-jre: installeer de java JRE
- geany: my favourite editor, very usefull for php, html, css, etc.
- meld: an easy diff program which also enables melding differences per line
- mozplugger: show PDF’s inside a tab of Firefox
- compizconfig-settings-manager: tune je desktop effecten
- schakel de “Ring wisselaar” aan, zet daarbij “Volgende venster (alle werkruimten)” op toets Alt-Tab
And a bit of tuning:
- For 9.04 following command prohibits the pop-under of the upgrade program. It returns to the previous policy showing a notification icon:
gconftool -s –type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false
To see who is visiting your website there is a nice opensource package available called awstats. After installing awstats by the usual command a few extra actions are required. I’ll explain in the rest of these post the required steps for a simple configuration. Read more…
I wanted to have an easy button in a webpage to restart some process that requires sudo rights. After quite some Google searches I combined a few techniques that made this work.
Although this method only grants very limited rights to the webserver, granting superrights to a web process might open up some security issues somehow. However family or co-workers simply pressing the on/off button on the server when something is not working and I’m not around is a worse problem in my opionion. Read more…
Allready for months I got my asterisk log-file filled with a message every 10 seconds:
WARNING[6511] chan_sip.c: Bad request protocol Packet
Turns out this messsage is some issue with an incompatible protocol with the XS4All account and it can be solved with:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp –dport 5060 -m string –algo=bm –string KeepAlive -j DROP
Note: instead of the long dash before dport, algo and string you should type a double -. Some formatting issue of WordPress.
Met dank aan deze forum-post op tweakers.net .
In the past months I’ve tried to get Asterisk working a couple of times, but most of the time I had to give up because of the overwelming number of configuration files. Finally I got everything up and running. Especially this post was helpfull.
Now I can make calls through several providers (xs4all, lowratevoip) based on dialing rules. Incoming calls also are working already and I just filed for the transfer of my old ISDN phoneline number to an xs4all voip account.
One of these days I’ll document my settings here, so it might help somebody somehow.
