asterisk users - May 2010 - Microsoft Response Point Voip server discontinued

Interesting announcement today;

 

 

http://www.crn.com.au/News/174872,microsoft-response-point-voip-gets-a-d
irt-nap.aspx

Microsoft this week revealed its intention to discontinue its Response
Point, its small business VoIP system for companies with up to 50
employees. 

While not unexpected, the move is significant because Response Point was
once a promising product in which Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates took a
particular interest. 

"After taking a good look at the Microsoft Response Point offering and
the needs of small businesses, we've decided to discontinue the sale,
support, and development of the Response Point phone system for small
businesses, effective August 31, 2010

 

 

 

Anyone got any thoughts about using OCS in smaller than 50 users?

 

Shows the naysayers who suggested 3com/MS voip was better because they
had "big company support" compared to the small asterisk vendors.

hi all,

I install Asterisk 1.6 on Centos 5.2 (kernel 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue
Jun 10 18:51:06 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and do record
audio clip with mixmonitor() as alaw file (softphone is also configured
with alaw active only). Using file command i can get the following
information

983006584-20100517-125002.alaw: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio,
ITU G.711 A-law, mono 8000 Hz

But when i install the same system on Centos 5.5 (kernel 2.6.18-92.el5
#1 SMP Tue Jun 10 18:51:06 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) i
could get the same information with file command. File command
recognized alaw file as JPEG image:

983006584-20100517-123825.alaw: JPEG image data

I guess i may miss something when i setup the new on on Centos 5.5, but
u dont know what it is. Anyone have idea about this?

please help.

Thanks in advance.

I did check content of two alaw files (using a hex editor) generated
from two aboves cases. For the one fromo CentOS 5.2, beginning bytes
look likes : 

RIFF1^0.WAVEfmt........ at ...@.......fact.....^0.data.^0...

and the one from CentOS 5.5 

......................RQVTV........XEMBAX............

It seem like the first one have some information about file format,
which make our convert tool works correctly, and which the second one
doesnt have.

Can you explain to me this different, and how can i get the information
as the first one?

Thanks in advances,
Quyps
