[General] VoIP For Home Usage

[Ahmad Al-Ibrahim]

I have configured the trunks, inbound routes, zap channels. It seems to
be something related to the line it self or the configurations to match
Kuwait PSTN tones, are you able to call the land line? and do you see
debug information on asterisk CLI while calling the land line? What is
the 'country' variable value in indications.conf, 'loadzone' and
'defaultzone' variables values in zaptel.conf?

Having a cronjob wont harm your system, atleast it works.

I've already saw this link in the morning, I dont have acpi variable set
in grub.conf.
