It's probably a copy and paste mistake on my part. Think if it this way: if you call someone and he/she does not answer the phone then you are not charged for it by your telco (for example KPN). So if you add Answer() and someone calls you but you don't pick up the phone then the caller will get charged for this call since it was answered. So it makes total sense *not* to have Answer() in this part of the dialplan. Thanks for bringing it up. Kind regards, Patrick Hi Peter,

I had problems with the ringtone when dialing from an outside line to the xs4all number; there was no tone, but the rest worked fine. The command in the extensions.conf were. [from-xs4all] exten => xs4all_1,1,Answer() exten => xs4all_1,n,Dial(SIP/100,30,t) exten => xs4all_1,n,Hangup() I managed to get the dial tone after changing it to: [from-xs4all] ; exten => xs4all_1,1,Answer() exten => xs4all_1,1,Dial(SIP/100,30,t) exten => xs4all_1,n,Hangup() According to the documentation it is advised to use the Answer() command. Do you know why it should be left out in this case? And will it have implications? Kind regards, Peter Zandbergen Dear Patrick,

[from-xs4all]

I managed to get the dial tone after changing it to:
[from-xs4all]
; exten => xs4all_1,1,Answer()
exten => xs4all_1,1,Dial(SIP/100,30,t)
exten => xs4all_1,n,Hangup()

According to the documentation it is advised to use the Answer() command.

Do you know why it should be left out in this case? And will it have implications?

Kind regards,

If I remember correctly new mail notifications did not work at all. I suspect that Nokia's N95 firmware only puts a new mail notification trigger on the Inbox folder and not on any other (nested) folders. I can see why this can be quite annoying. I can only recommend to update to the latest firmware release and if that doesn't fix it to report this in the Nokia forums. Maybe it gets picked up by Nokia but don't get your hopes up too high. They don't seem to care very much about the actual users of their phones. Jeremy: it’s been a while since I last messed with the N95 & IMAP.

I have some new mail delivered directly into sub-folders and when this happens I do not get a notification. Have you had any luck getting new mail notifications to work on nested IMAP folders?

Fedora 8 Test 2 includes the IcedTea Java release with a 64 bit plugin. IcedTea is the (currently semi) Open Source Java version 7 that Red Hat and others are working on.

JDK 1.7 is a future release. Currently JDK 1.6 is available so we have to wait a little bit longer until 1.7 is released with the 64 but plugin. The good thing is that Sun finally decided to walk the 64 bit talk. The not so good thing is that we will have to wait until 1.7 is released. But at least we know it's coming. Hopefully Adobe will release 64 bit Acrobat soon too. And iirc the Adobe Flash developers are already working on a 64 bit version. Don't know how long that is going to take though. They have a blog you could check. That is correct. JDK 1.7 is a future release. Currently JDK 1.6 is available so we have to wait a little bit longer until 1.7 is released with the 64 but plugin.
