Thanks Ants posted:I'm looking to deploy a FreePBX instance running on CentOS to give it a shakedown. If we push forward with deploying it then we will most likely add some commercial modules like the endpoint manager at the very least. Hooray! The sky is the limit with softphones. I haven't found a perfect one yet but you're definitely not short of options. There's even phone apps you can use. I use zoiper as my baseline. I know it works, not great but it'll get the job done. If it can't do what zoiper does, then it's probably garbage. Even if it can it's probably still garbage but at least it will work. Edit: Microsip looks alright (and runs on PJSIP) but I never got a chance to test it out. I think RingCentral would be worth a try but I'm not sure if you want to pay for that or not.

If we push forward with deploying it then we will most likely add some commercial modules like the endpoint manager at the very least. If you're giving it dedicated hardware or a dedicated VM rather than trying to put it on the same machine as something else, save yourself a lot of trouble and just use the FreePBX Distro. It's CentOS 7 with the FreePBX RPM repositories set up, common packages preinstalled, and basically as close as possible to ready to go out of the box. It'll have a few commercial modules preinstalled which won't work without licensing, but it's easy to uninstall them and they identify themselves clearly as commercial in the module manager. If you "activate" your installation you get a light version of the System Admin module (very useful) and the Extension Routes module (not so useful) for free. The only other commercial module we use is the Endpoint Manager. It's $150 and will save you $150 worth of time very quickly if you have more than a dozen or so hardphones. The old open source endpoint manager doesn't really work reliably on FPBX 14+ As far as mobile softphones go I've been impressed by Grandstream's Wave. It's free, has no ads, supports all major functionality, and can be provisioned with a QR code. PC softphones, I've never actually been satisfied with any of them. I've been trying for years to switch to softphone only operation but I always end up back on a standard desktop phone.

I'll need to deploy it into Hyper-V and then try and repackage it to work on Azure which is where this is likely to end up.

Unless you truly have 'gently caress you' money to the point that you wouldn't notice that number disappearing from your bank account, I doubt you'd be able to enjoy a 7 grand bottle of whisky with the constant need to convince yourself it was worth the purchase.

It’s Friday afternoon and our connection to the internet has been down for two hours. Our internal network is up, but the system I do all of my work on is hosted by an external provider. Look at all this work I’m not doing, and getting paid for it.

I had a coworker that has about 200k worth of whiskey in his basement. He usually buys 3 bottles though. First one for his collection, the second one is for drinking and the 3rd is sold when the price for one bottle is as high as the original value of all 3 combined. He’s been doing this for several decades and has an insane collection.

oh my god that's right I forgot So I worked for the company that made this, which you've likely heard of:  and this, which you probably haven't heard of:  and these are launching this year, which you probably haven't heard of:  and they did other poo poo like electronic systems, etc, for Canada's navy stuff like this:  and a huge range of other geospatial imagery products. There was a big merger last year with a lot of changing roles, leadership, structure, culture, etc, and it was going to stifle my career and future potential. So I jumped on this amazing opportunity for a provincial crown corporation (do you have those in the US? They're private companies where the sole shareholder is the government) so it's a big gain for me.

There are a number of tribal government owned companies too. And I think some municipalities own their utilities, but that’s different than a real corporation.

This is not exactly public info. I stumbled across some docs in a folder just sitting out there on our windows server. Looking further into it he wants to lease out resources to miners, not be the miner. For some reason, he asked me to get a Texas-area phone number and set up an IVR and conference room attached to that number.
