I am still searching a reasonable-priced Linux Xen VPS located in EU (256 MB RAM, few GB storage).

Checkout on https://www.enomcentral.com/checkout.asp

We are unable to process this transaction because we are currently not accepting orders from this IP.

Incriminating IP was 86.125.5X.XX.

The old Linksys WAG54Gv2 died so I replaced it with a brand new Belkin F5D7633uk4A. Everything working fine except two SIP accounts on my Siemens Gigaset S450 IP (“Authentication error”). Also I got authentication errors and SIP 408 Timeout with X-Lite using the same SIP accounts.

Also, Belkin web interface can not manage static routes, which is bad.

Version info:

Runtime Code version F5D7633-4Av1_UK_1.00.17
Boot Code Version 1.0.37-5.15
Hardware Version V1.0J3
ADSL Modem Code Version A2pB018e.d16f

Looks like there’s a transparent SIP proxy running on the router. I could ssh with admin username and web interface password to the router. Finally found siproxd running!

How to disable siproxd:

siproxd disable
save
reboot


How to add a static route:

route add IP NETMASK GATEWAY
save

I signed up with rsync.net for an off-site filesystem. Opted for geo-redundant version (automated nightly replication to other site) located in Zurich, Switzerland. Very fast speed from Europe and Qatar, good speed with US hosts. Very easy to use from Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux and Windows (rsync, ftp, scp, sftp, ssh, WebDAV). Direct integration in Finder, just use “Connect to Server” and enter the hostname address with https. On Linux and FreeBSD 6.x sshfs works like a charm. Easy to install on FreeBSD using ports, just cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-sshfs and run make install clean.

Just replaced my C450 IP with S450 IP, mostly for multiple SIP accounts support.

Good things:
– can connect to up to six SIP accounts at the same time, plus gigaset.net
– can map SIP account and fixed line to DECT phones (both outgoing and incoming calls)
– reasonable DECT coverage
– NAT traversal using STUN
– works with asterisk
– S45 handset can be registered to multiple bases, allowing you to chose base or just best signal base

Bad things:
– can not choose what SIP account to use for outgoing calls on a call-by-call basis
– gigaset.net calls never worked for me
– R-key does not work with SIP
– no MWI (Message Waiting Indication) for VoIP calls
– slow handset response sometimes (tested with S45, C45 and C46 handsets)
– no automatic phonebook synchronization between handsets

One very interesting feature would be the possibility to use the Phone Line as a regular FXO port, allowing PSTN-to-VoIP and VoIP-to-PSTN calls.

I’ve had my C450 IP for one month now. Pretty happy with it, good range (at least better than Panasonic and my old Gigaset A-series), stable SIP connection (after firmware upgrade), reasonable battery life. Works with Asterisk (except the R-key to hold/transfer VoIP calls, but you can set the key in features.conf; and MWI).

Just registered n-am.ro and nuam.ro domains.

Web sites are ‘parked’ for now until I choose what to put there.

E-mail web access at mail.n-am.ro.

Also, the Start Page at start.n-am.ro, Calendar at calendar.n-am.ro and Docs and Spreadsheets at docs.n-am.ro. For mail, nuam.ro is aliased to n-am.ro.

If you have ideas about web site content or want an e-mail address in these domains let me know 🙂 Same for mumu.ro domain.
