99.9% Uptime?
We have been moving parts of the district over to a central VoIP phone switch located in our office at the Board of Education. It does put a importance on our servers staying up since if they are down the phones out at the buildings are effectively paper weights. That shouldn’t be a problem though as we are near a 99.9% uptime (only 8 hours of down time a year) on our equipment.

Firmware files for a Digium TE220 with Hardware Echo Cancellation
We recently got a TE220 with onboard Hardware Echo Cancellation from Voipsupply.com for the price gouging cost of $1,150.
I was all excited since we have had lots of reports of echo on our lines and I was glad to get the district to pay for the add on card for it. We needed to get the PCI-E aspect of the card, but they didn’t have to spring for the Echo Canceller. So I rebuilt my server onto a new machine and got everything lined out. I couldn’t find a straight answer on what I needed to have in zapata.conf in terms of the echo options. Right now I have them off.
I was getting errors in dmesg about a missing firmware for the card, but I let that go at the time because I figured that the trixbox install that I have has the zaptel drivers on it from Digium. Wrong.
