Running FreePBX on a Dell Wyse 3040
2 Questions.
Good VOIP provider for outside line??
Also for aredn side. Do we need to register our area code some place?? 254
We got it working. This is just info on what we had to do. I spent days figuring this mess out.
Meshphone.conf .... We setup 254. So I have called other area codes. Area Code 254 with 2 pbx we couldnt call each other till I put in this info. We have IAX fully set up. Also have it so we don't need to 78 or 254 out anymore. Just the EXT. Mine is 254-1101
To far end

I am just about to bring up a voip.ms trunk to a PBX, but the PBX will be running the home phone needs and then I will have a trunk that will allow me to pass calls off to the MeshPhone PBX. That will require a secret on the trunk so that it can not be accessed by anyone other than myself or another Ham that I may allow to dial into the system. Again, just food for thought.
As for the rest of your questions, yes, you need to get your PBXes registered in the MeshPhone database. That is currently handled by N2MH, but that may be changing here soon. You also need to have trunks setup to allow your PBXes to dial into the MeshPhone network. I don't have time to go into a lot of the details here at the moment, but tomorrow we can work a lot more to get you going. I just looked at the MeshPhone database and there are 4 PBXes in Texas (one is a partial record and I would discount that one). So the 3 remaining PBXes may be a good candiate for you to get a trunk into. Maybe the one up in Fort Worth would be the best for you. But there are some other things starting to happen in the background that may affect where you should connect, so again more tomorrow.
Feel free to send me email directly at hickey@kinetic-compute dot com. My ARRL forward seems to be having problems to use this address.

I use voip.ms for my 2 AREDN phone patches. $0.85/month+$0.01/minute
I use anveo.com for my home service. <$8.00/month.
I especially like the Interactive Voice Response System (IVR) intercept with anveo.
Unknown Dial-in CallerIDs do not ring my home phone and
cannot leave a Voice Message unless they press an announced digit.
IOW, 'automated calls' don't ring my home phone and cannot leave a VM.
Calls from family, friends, physician offices, and whitelisted businesses pass through normally and
ring my home phone.
" Also for aredn side. Do we need to register our area code some place?? 254"
+1 with Gerard WT0F.

I will check it out.
"I use anveo.com for my home service. <$8.00/month."
That has some good features. Stop robo calls is a big plus.

Its strange. I can call from his system into mine(His is a 245 as well). I couldn't call his till I put in the 254 to meshphone.conf. We have tunnel set up. I would think it would be open both ways (Im hosting). Ive tested with the firewall on and off. Same results. Gerard is going above and beyond. I appreciate any help. I will see what he figures out today.
"+1 with Gerard WT0F."
Totally agree!!

So, can I
exten => _2541[01]xx,1,Dial(IAX2/${NEIGHBOR_WT0F}/${EXTEN})
yet?

I am working on some other angles right now that is going to be a number of significant changes to MeshPhone network. Info hopefully in the next couple of days.

Attention
The hostnames of every device connected to the mesh at large must be unique.
It is best practice to prefix your Amateur Radio callsign to the hostname of each of your devices in order to have the best chance of it being unique on the mesh network.
Hi, Dave:
I suggest naming your VoIP phone

If y'all (2541[01]xx would like a temporary outbound trunk to the global MeshPhone network,
I can try to set up a trunk between us.
This would give those extensions access to outbound calls, but because your extensions
are not yet in the global meshphone.conf file, the rest of the world would not be able to
dial into 2541[01]xx.
We are at or beyond the need for a global dynamic access to meshphone.conf.
A work in progress.

WT0F got it working. Thank you... Nothing he did caused it to fail. That was all my doing. lol
