What Are You Doing Right Now

Drinking my second cup of coffee and moving files off of an old decrepit tower to a new Synology NAS. My Sys. Admin is also talking to me, on speaker phone, about some potential consultants for a project we are working on.

Another major vendor screw up. This time Cox doesn't know what VoIP or PBXs are.... while trying to post "expert knowledge" about them.

Um unless you are very very small since when is it either or? It's both. I guess they think PBX's are the analog/digital systems only no IP Based.

I'm not completely sure what they are thinking. I thought that they were confusing VoIP with hosted and PBX with on-premises. But I am not completely sure. They are so wildly off base, it might be random.

I think they thought PBX meant POTS and VoIP was VoIP. Clearly someone who had NO IDEA what they were talking about.

Could be. But some of the stuff that they said, like if you lose your network you'd lose your phones, suggested hosting rather than POTS.

It could easily mean that if your internal network, like a router or switch, goes down, your phones lose connection and therefore go down. I don't see any way that would exclusively imply hosting. That's one explanation, but not how I would have interpreted it at all. It implied to me that if your internal network goes down with a POTS system, you might lose internet, but still have phones, while with a VoIP system you lose it all.

Not sure how you got that out of the post. They said you lose phone if the internet goes down with VoIP meaning your SIP trunk. But the suffer under PBX like powered received from phone line, international calling charges etc. point to it being POTS.

Oh yeah, that makes even less sense.

Uhm,.. do we say we don't know you now?
Not the ML town.. my own town...

@JaredBusch My ERL is running nicely. I did have to drop in the ISP DNS... but I can't say that has fixed the issue.
Setting up an old XP box to be the UBNT controller,... but for some reason it can't get outside.. it has a valid IP, can PING the ERL, but just get outside... it can't even get to the ERL..
otherwise - I'm happy with it.
