Too Late to Click Undo, Mailing List Etiquette

Mailing list etiquette says when you wish to start a new topic on a mailing discussion list, feel free to click "Reply," check the "To" to make sure it is correct, get rid of the previous digest of unrelated messages, change the subject line as needed, and proceed. I send a big thank you to "Nice Guy on  Asterisk-Biz List" for reminding me. Slow down ...

Nice Guy on Asterisk-Biz List, you are right. I changed the subject line but forgot to delete the digest below before clicking "send." I appreciate the reminder of good list etiquette. Wish I could do "undo."

Please don't reply to the digest if you want to post to the list.. It makes a larger than necessary posting in everyone's email box.
Thanks,

Quick note to Asterisk-Biz list ...
http://www.didx.net/ wholesale phone number marketplace where vendor rating is 0-8 with 8 as highest and 4 and above as good:

Vendor 700328 offers Auckland, New Zealand DID phone numbers .99 USD (99 cents) per month, zero NRC. Vendor rating is 5. 5,000 minutes and 1 channel is included.

Vendor 705156 offers MX City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara DID phone numbers $3 USD per month, $2 NRC. Vendor rating is 8. 10,000 minutes and 2 channels are included.

We are able to keep these good rates especially when the volume of sales is right, so we hope you'll take advantage.

Complete list of DID areas available are at http://www.didx.net/did showing the lowest rates available. Please keep in mind that most of the DIDs have more than one vendor and therefore, more than one NRC, MRC, features available such as caller id, sms, fax t38, and so on; number of minutes included, channels included, and chance to buy or not buy additional channels.

Also this is a blog post that is a combination of tips shared by successful DIDX buyers with me: http://blogs.didx.net/2009/11/model-of-didx-wholesale-sip-did.html. Wishing the best for your and your customers this year.

Direct Inward Termination, Common Telephony Search Keyword

Just noticed that the key words phrase "Direct Inward Termination" is being used more and more in searches that land on my blogs, so I asked several to explain what it's all about. I'll add more answers as I get them in the coming year. This blog is meant to be INTERACTIVE and COLLABORATIVE. ;-)

John Cirner of TalkMotion: Suzanne, in the 15 or so years I worked in the PBX hardware industry we would associate "direct inward termination" as the programmed association of a DID number to a specific device. Applications such as DID to fax machine or DID to system port (or modems in the old days) for remote programming interface, would be common applications.

Delwar Hossain Khan, member of Freedom2Speak and Ecomm: "I have not dealt with telecom for years now but as far as I remember DID is an old telecom term, referring 2 a particular feature of PABX system, when caller seizes a trunk port, gets a 2nd dial tone and connects with the destination number(usually a Pabx extension port).

If we consider the international telecom network as one PABX system, this could be a simplified explanation.

Glossary on Higher Ground, Inc. web site:

DID (DIRECT INWARD DIALING)
A combination of features between the central office of the telephone company and the PBX. It allows a party calling into a PBX to be directly connected to a station associated to the number dialed, without the assistance of the operator.

Meet Ghazanfar Ahmed, Asterisk Pakistan at ITCN Asia 2008

I hope to interview Ghazanfar Ahmed (CTO) and his brother (CEO) of their company on video this week and will add to this post at that time. They have been a part of the global Asterisk development for several years. The first time I heard about Ghazanfar and his brother was when they were in their early teens, very bright.
