[VoIP] Asterisk-SIP Trunk

[windmill]

I'm still not sure why but I have lost four *boxes in the last year for 
one reason or another. Something has become corrupted on the hard drives 
and I'm fairly certain that the almost daily power outages a few months 
ago had a great deal to do with it, that was before I had UPSs, they 
will only carry the load for 15 or 20 minutes but it's enough for most 
outages. Having said that there was a power fault yesterday which took 
out my village and about 20 others around Lincoln yesterday at 0813 and 
it took Central Electricity Networks 20 minutes to restore the supply by 
which time I had manually switched off all my telephone and computer 
equipment. I'll be shopping for more UPS kit in the January sales and 
another PC or two if I can't get my old *boxes running again, I think 
one has developed a motherboard fault which prevents it from reading the 
hard drive.

Nothing seems to go smoothly these days, I have been trying to get ahead 
and delve deeper into Asterisk and Linux but things keep getting in the 
way, so much so that I tend to describe myself as 'on permanent interrupt' !
