Faxing over SIP works just fine (at least, on a LAN) with Asterisk.  In
my office, I have Asterisk + FreePBX setup to use faxdetect to
automatically connect incoming fax calls to the hardware fax machine.
The fax machine is connected to the network with a cheapo Grandstream
ATA box, and the PSTN lines are connected to a TDM400 card.

    Hi Greg,

 I attended PTI (Pittsburgh Tehncial Institute) and got an associates in
IT. Right now I work in all windows enviroment, but am really interested
in eventually working with Linux, which is why I want a cert. Ya PTI was
an ok school, it's not perfect but I did learn alot. The second class
where we did things like work with NFS and apache is what really got me
hooked, however we didn't get to learn everything, we were supposed to
get sendmail, and DNS training in Fedora Core, but the other students
had trouble picking things up mainly due to poor aptitude and FUD.

 As far as books I have I have quite a few, including the electronic
(chm) copy of the RHCE study guide by Micheal Jang, but plan on buying
the hard copy off amazon possibly later tonight. The RHCE study guide is
a bit dated however because it was written for RHEL 3 and Red Hat is
supposed to release RHEL 5 in march. They are on 4 as of right now. I
believe Fedora Core 6 is based on RHEL 5 since it is bleeding edge
software for Red Hat. FC 6 could be something we use in the lab. I'll
try to find more information for you.

 I think this cert study group is a great idea as it will not only
benefit us as individuals and our careers, but the knowledge and skills
we will obtain by getting these certs can be invaluable group. 

 So let me know either on the mailing list here, my private email
(jeman062383 at aol.com), or you can just let me or anyone else who is
intetested know at the next LUG meeting. Thanks.

 Sincerely,

 Justin Ehrlichman

Hi jeman062383, 

The next WPLUG meeting is a week from Saturday on Jan 13.  I will be
late as I 

have a missions network meeting at Northway in the morning.  

I have 3 others so far expressed interest in the study group, but we
have no 

proposed dates or modus operandi.  If we need a lab for experimentation
my 

church in Carrick has a small PC lab.  A nice place to meet is at
Paneras in 

Oakland near McGee Hospital.  We can reserve a room there.  They are
happy if we 

buy some coffee and maybe a bagel and they provide free wireless
Internet acces.  

Did you take CIT-220 at CCAC?  or what tech school did you attend?  How
was it?   

I just ordered a copy of General Linux I Exam Prep (Exam: 101)  by
LeBlanc, 

Dee-Ann from Amazon.  It was the only Linux exam review book that came
up on 

their search and there were many used copies for $0.01 plus shipping.
The 

satisfaction ratings were high, so even though I don't understand why
somebody 

would bother to sell a book for a penny, I bit.  After taking the
practice exam 

a few times, I decided that I need more explanation than a simple
correct 

answer.  

I would be very pleased to have you join our study group.  I look
forward to 

hearing your ideas.  

Greg

I couple things I forgot add in my OP. First Red Hat provides a
preparation guide on their website for the RHCT/E here is the URL for
that:

 https://www.redhat.com/training/rhce/examprep.html

 Red Hat also provides the Manuals for RHEL on their website:

 http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/

 These manuals should provide everything we need to know to pass the
test rather than having to take their expensive training classes. We can
also use an RHEL clone such as CentOS (http://www.CentOS.org) or Fedora
Core 6.

 Cheers,

 Justin Ehrlichman

I am looking to take some sort of wireless training / boot camp class
and I
am looking for suggestions on companies and classes.  Ideally the focus
should be on wireless surveying and deploying wireless in the healthcare
environment but that is too specific and I have not found any classes.

I was considering the CWNA program, has anyone completed this and think
it
would be useful for me?

I have previously used Intense School for Cisco training and New
Horizons
for misc. training.

Any input will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Ryan

Hello All,

I want to setup a VPN server on a Windows 2003 server.  Connecting a
2000/XP 
client is easy enough.  However I would also like to have a Linux
client.  I 
have seen PPTPClient (http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/), and intend to
try it. 
  Has anyone had experience with other Linux applications providing
connection 
to a Microsoft VPN server?

Thanks,
Dave Kraus
