Sip Switch
Now that Mysipswitch is closing down does anyone know of any software for a sip switch that I can run on my hosted (linux) server.
Even a simple PHP or Perl script would be good just to do the sip switching.
Thanks

Re: Sip Switch
I would think that Kamailio, OpenSIPS, Freeswitch & Asterisk could all be deployed as a simple SIP proxy/switch. It'd be more than a little DIY, but what the heck.
You could even use Freeswitch as a module on a pfsense router/firewall.

Re: Sip Switch
What the ... ??? I'm glad I read this post. At least I have 4 more days to work out an alternative. Is it an easy transition to Sip Sorcery? I can't look for myself at the moment because I can't install Silverlight on this PC.

Re: Sip Switch
Mysipswitch originally said they would close at the end of the year, but now they are closing the service on 31st October.
I can't get Silverlight working on my machines here hence I am looking to perhaps do something myself for myself as I have several hosted servers available that I could run something on. I don't want to build up (and leave running) an asterisk box or anything like that. Just looking for something small/quick/easy to install that can do sip switching and dial plans (as mysipswitch was) for myself and a couple of other people.
It seems there are many people having problem with installing/running Siverlight. There are even people on the Silverlight forums complaining about it - and being studiously ignored!
I'm sure there would be demand for a suitable small self hosted sip switch.

Re: Sip Switch
Thanks - but that just gave me a headache!! Sipsorcery is not stable yet. Silverlight seems to be a can of worms. C# I've no idea about!! PHP, Perl, Basic or Assembler and I might have a chance!!! Too long in the tooth now to look at any variation of C!
Thanks anyway

Wow, I am glad that I don't have to ever use nor encounter these worms! ;)
C# I've no idea about!!
In a musical notation, doesn't a # note mean a half-step higher in pitch of the note? In this case, C# is a half-step higher than C, isn't it? ;)
PHP, Perl, Basic or Assembler and I might have a chance!!!
Then, perhaps you may want to look into the FreePBX v3.

Re: Sip Switch
Similarly, is there a simple SIP switch that will run on WRT-style devices? OpenWRT can run a full-blown Asterisk install, though not on the 16/4MB devices, but that's overkill for my little project..

Re: Sip Switch
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I've had a look at them but I can't seem to see anything that will do what I want!
Most seem to be some kind of PBX required to located on the LAN (at home) or on a separate remotely hosted dedicated box.
My situation is that I have several remotely hosted sites (running on Linux) on one of which I would like to run some kind of Sip Switch service similar to what mysipswitch was running.
Requirements are:
a) a small number of extensions, 2 at the moment but say a max of 10.
b) a small number of trunks, 4 at the moment but say a max of 20.
c) some kind of dialplan/routing scripting for both incoming and outgoing trunks.
d) some kind of web interface for control/config.
e) ready to install/run with the minimum of fuss and without needing a dedicated server.
I was successfully using mysipswitch (now closing) and have switched over to pbxes.org, but I would like to be able to control my own destiny!
Sorry if I have not understood the functionality of any of the suggestions made up to now.
Thanks

The requirements you described above are exactly what my Asterisk PBX system (hosted on my FON2100 device) has been doing. ;)

I know I can do that (or something similar) but I was trying to find a solution that doesn't require me to run any more equipment at home and also allows access from several locations/extensions.
An ATA with dialplan facilities would be OK just for local use but not for remote extensions.
Thanks anyway!

Re: Sip Switch
I still dont understand why people don't just migrate to sipsorcery like the author intended. I know silverlight doesn't work on every machine but you could easily install a cheapy win98 or winxp on a secondary partition.
Also you could just go to a friends house or the library to migrate info and forget about it. How often do you really change your dial plans? I haven't accessed the sipsorcery site in at least a couple of weeks.

Argh ..., so you wanna a remotely hosted PBX system. Good luck.

I have Win98 and Win XP on my machines. Silverlight will NOT work on Win98 or 64bit Win XP!
Yes, I could go to the Library/Friends house to do the changes but as yet I haven't even got an account set up with SS so it's still going to be a bit of a learning curve - plus I can't see the library letting me walk in and start installing software (Silverlight) on their machines! And that's not even mentioning the inconvenience factor.
Looked at www.callwithus.com/pbx but that is virtually what I have for free now using pbxes.org. I just want something that does the sip switching (no audio handling) that I can run on the hosted servers I am already paying for. Thanks for the link though.

Re: Sip Switch
I have W7 64-bit and silverlight works fine (using the 32-bit IE that comes preinstalled). I imagine it should work fine with 64-bit XP as well... maybe you're trying to use the version of IE, or don't have activeX, or something else is wrong? Is forcing a clean install a problem?
If you're the trusting type, I'll volunteer to migrate your info to sipsorcery, but you'd have to trust me with private info (though you could change the passwords prior to handing off accounts to me and change them later, or just have me to everything minus PW).
And aren't dial plans exactly the same?

If using IE, try Silverlight in Firefox, or vice-versa.
If no luck, boot from a Linux live CD, e.g. Ubuntu, and try Silverlight there. »news.softpedia.com/news/Microsof···94.shtml

Re: Sip Switch
Using the latest Moonlight beta in Firefox in Linux, it's impossible to log into an existing sipsorcery account. The best one can do is see the intro page. So Moonlight's not usable yet for this purpose.

I've tried both IE and Firefox. I will have to check the version of IE I was using again and check if it's 32 bit or 64bit. But the question remains, why won't it work on 64bit XP or 64 bit IE?? Does that give me more/any confidence in Microsoft to support their own OSes? Or are we supposed to move to Win7 now?
@khabibul35 - Thanks for the offer. I'm sure I could probably find someone with a computer that would work on Sipsorcery, but the problem becomes one of convenience. What happens when I want to make (urgent) changes or try new things?
@andre2 - I'm glad (not really!!) that I'm not the only one having problems! Seriously, though, I think quite a few people have problems when reading the MSS forum.
Oh well, I guess I'll have to stick with PBXes for now. At least it works.

Re: Sip Switch
Silver Light works without any issue with Firefox on Win XP Pro (32-bit) and the requirements to function properly is to install minimum SP2 or SP3 for Windows, it also works with Win7 (64-bit) I tested with IE too before I write this since I am not an IE fan.

Well I checked my XP box and it only had 64bit IE7 installed. I upgraded to IE8 but that made no difference. Don't have Win7 to try on any of my machines. Does not work with Firefox either on the XP box. I can (sort of) accept it not working on Win98 (actually my main work machine) but not of the XP box.
So for now, as I said, I will stick with PBXes for the functionality I want.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
