Only 1 Rhino Seat left for the FreePBX training. Act Fast WHEN ITS GONE IT IS GONE

http://freepbx.org/open-telephony-training-seminar-rhino

Just got word that 2 of the 4 scholarships are gone and from what I hear the Hotel is almost full so if you want to grab a discount you better make a run for it because it didnt take long to fill the 2 slots I imagine the other 2 will be gone in a day or so.

By the way I was watching American Idol ( I know shut-up) and they were in Charleston SC. And they did the little intro where they scrolled through the area and It looks like an awesome place to visit. I Like old buildings so definitely on my list.

EDIT as of 2PM 01/24 only 1 Rhino Seat remains

Allot of ceros users are upgrading to trixbox 2.4 we do not recommend using any of the betas if your using a beta it would be best to push up to 2.4 stable.

In trixbox 2.4 betas and in 2.4 there is what trixbox calls a hardware audit tool also referenced to as a “phone home script”. Read the rest of this entry »

I have put together a modprobe for users of hot-plugging kernels like 2.6.18 that use modprobe.

A trixbox user has done a full post on preventing issues seen with zaptel when you run yum update in 2.2 while booted to a non smp kernel. Basically add to your the trixbox yum repo file a exclude=*smp. A full explanation is at http://blogx.co.uk/Comments.asp?Entry=679 . Please note his article is for a specific issue but covers a broader scope.

You should now beable to get our drivers via yum

yum -y install rhino-$(uname -r)

trixbox2.3.0.10 (note 2.2 has rpms)
Centos 5 has some quirks which make compiling difficult. We hope to have an RPM out today but in the mean time I have written a few scripts to make compiling as painless as possible. Please note these steps require an internet connection that can do proper dns resolution

1. go to /usr/src
2. Download the scripts:
wget ftp://ftp.rhinoequipment.com/Drivers/Contrib/fakezap.sh
wget ftp://ftp.rhinoequipment.com/Drivers/Contrib/driversfs.sh
3. Make the scripts executable:
chmod +x *.sh
4. Find your zaptel version and run fakezap
modinfo zaptel #please note you only want the version not the build so 1.4.7-1234 is 1.4.7
./fakezap.sh -v 1.4.7 #replace 1.4.7 with the proper version
5. Build the drivers. our latest version is 2.2.2
./driversfs.sh -v 2.2.2
6. I recommend downloading our modprobe file
wget -O /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.rhino ftp://ftp.rhinoequipment.com/Drivers/Contrib/modprobe.rhino
