[00:08] <chilts> afternoon
[00:42] <kcj> Morning.
[02:57] <thomi> hads: ajmitch tells me you might knowof a NZ company that sells IAX trunks that doesn't suck?
[16:54] <olly_> morning
[19:59] <ibeardslee> morning
[20:27] <ajmitch> morning
[20:50] <mwhudson> morning
[22:06] <hads> thomi: Sorry, out of the country. Not too sure, most everything I know of is SIP. I think 2Talk might do IAX2 but I've not used it.
[22:07] <thomi> hads: you've had good results with SIP? I was avoiding it because I'd read that IAX was a far superior protocol for every day usage
[22:07] <thomi> but I'm willing to consider SIP if you have a positive experience with it :)
[22:16] <chilts> morning
[22:28] <hads> thomi: SIP is used everywhere these days and generally works well as long as the gear is decent.
[22:28] <hads> IAX2 is not really used anywhere except Asterisk.
[22:28] <hads> and even there probably not that much
[22:29] <thomi> hads: ok, I was going to build a small asterisk setup on one of these http://www.pcengines.ch/
[22:29] <thomi> not really sure what kind of gear a super-small PBX setup needs though
[22:29] <hads> Sure, the ALIX work well, we've sold loads of them. Quite low power so don't expect too much from them.
[22:30] <thomi> hads: right, but should be more than enough handle 2 simultanious calls, right?
[22:30] <thomi> I'm probably doing the geeky thing and massively over-engineering the solution here
[22:31] <hads> They will handle quite a few concurrent calls as long as you aren't doing transcoding and things.
[22:31] <thomi> I see
[22:32] <thomi> sop, can you recommend a sip provider?
[22:32] <chilts> ibeardslee: does 12:30 sound ok? I'm don't really have an opinion where, don't know about where's good anymore :)
[22:32] <chilts> I'd pass up sushi, but most other things are fine :)
[22:34] <hads> 2Talk is probably the most common in NZ, I've used them for probably 5 years or so and they are good. If you sign up use "nicetech" as a referral code :)
[22:36] <thomi> hads: will do, thanks
[22:47] <thumper> morning
[22:48]  * thumper tries to get #ubuntu-nz back into tradition
[22:50] <chilts> morning (again)
[23:12] <hads> morning
[23:35] <snail> i have a tar file that I can't unzip because there's a directory which exceeds the maximum number of subdirectories for my filesystem. is there an easy trick to fix that?
[23:37] <mwhudson> --exclude?
[23:37] <mwhudson> and then maybe --strip-components to get just that bit
[23:55] <snail> looks like 'apt-get install archivemount'
