UPDATE:Try this to fix the problems with mysql permissions.  This was suggested by someone else.  I have not tried it myself.  "The 'astrundir' must be changed to  /var/run/asterisk before installing FreePBX. Otherwise, the owner for /var/run/mysqld will be changed to asterisk and that causes mysqld to fail starting. Or you can just change permission of /var/run/mysqld to 777"

Ok, too much time on my hands maybe but curiosity got the better of me.  I had problems with only outgoing calls at one point (large delay) and then after numerous complaints to Vonage I think they did something to their network and the delay was much improved.  Like many other Canadians I also continue to have problems with some Canadian 800, 866 etc.

This document describes my attempt to build a hardened Asterisk based VoIP PBX of equivalent reliability to a traditional PBX.  It was done using an embedded design philosophy just like traditional PBX’s.  At the same time it takes advantage of the commodity pricing of standard computer hardware that Linux and Asterisk make possible.
