Aug 17 06:19:30 *       decode goes back to cleaning up his * configs and slowly moving to mysql backed configs
Aug 17 06:20:30 <nowork>        In canada, any idea which company can provide unlimited Canada/USA monthly service like Vonage/Primus;
Aug 17 06:20:33 <JerJer>        oh god
Aug 17 06:20:49 <JerJer>        why in hell would you want to bloat asterisk with databased configs?
Aug 17 06:21:18 <JerJer>        there is no such thing as 'unlimited' calling
Aug 17 06:22:46 <chayewala>     jerjer : I am a big advocate of using a DB backend
Aug 17 06:22:55 <chayewala>     it makes life much easier.
Aug 17 06:22:58 <chayewala>     and manageable
Aug 17 06:23:16 <JerJer>        hell no it doesn't
Aug 17 06:23:38 <chayewala>     definitely HELL wont
Aug 17 06:23:42 <JerJer>        our Class 4/5 switch has a 10 megabyte text file we fire at it via serial
Aug 17 06:23:43 <chayewala>     but DB does
Aug 17 06:23:45 <JerJer>        RS-232
Aug 17 06:24:33 <JerJer>        so if a SS7 switch manufauture does not use a friggen database to configure it, why should Asterisk?
Aug 17 06:25:00 <chayewala>     you are focusing on swithes alone
Aug 17 06:25:05 <chayewala>     how about customers
Aug 17 06:25:09 <JerJer>        a database complicates and bloats, nothing more
Aug 17 06:25:10 <chayewala>     their payments
Aug 17 06:25:15 <chayewala>     not at all.
Aug 17 06:25:22 <JerJer>        payments are a totally different story
Aug 17 06:25:34 <JerJer>        we rock MySQL and MSSQL (sadly) all day long
Aug 17 06:25:48 <JerJer>        but ceritanly not with asterisk configuration data
Aug 17 06:26:17 <chayewala>     sip and iax users are a good candidate for that purpose to do interactive accounting
Aug 17 06:26:29 <JerJer>        bleh
Aug 17 06:26:30 <JerJer>        no
Aug 17 06:26:33 <chayewala>     with out a DB, one can only implement a primitive over all system
Aug 17 06:26:41 <JerJer>        huh?
Aug 17 06:26:56 <JerJer>        um NuFone uses text based config files
Aug 17 06:26:59 <chayewala>     well words like bleh hell f**k indicate a primitive state of mind
Aug 17 06:27:01 <JerJer>        so does voicepulse
Aug 17 06:27:07 <chayewala>     dont use them.
