The easiest way to test outbound calls is to build a simple plain old telephone service (POTS) dial-peer on the voice gateway. For example:

A cool thing to do if you find yourself doing something LOTs of times:

Edit your ".bashrc" (in your home directory)
and create your personalised script as follows:

wch()
{
sudo chmod 774 $1 $2 $3 $4;
sudo chown www-data.www-data $1 $2 $3 $4;
}

Then you can execute the command "wch" with parameters to execute the commands you want. Very cool...

Go to [Content management] > [Content types] > [Manage fields] and make sure yiour image field is LIGHTER than [body] eg -2
this will force the image above your teaser but not yet inline

then go to modules > system > defaults.css

and add

.field-type-image img {
float: right;
margin-left: 1em;
border: 0px solid red;
}

Note: my CCK image field is called "image" and I choose to float it right, adjust yours to suit your tastes.

It turns out that by default TELNET was not packaged with Windows 7. Apparently this was also true for Windows Vista.
Telnet is known to be insecure and so by default, Microsoft now DISABLES any likely security holes. Whenever you can, you should always use SSH.
That being said, you can enable Telnet this way:

  1. Start
  2. Control Panel
  3. Programs And Features
  4. Turn Windows features on or off
  5. Check Telnet Client
  6. Hit OK

After that you can start Telnet via the "CMD" - Command Prompt.

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)

To filter routes 41.0.0.0 and 42.0.0.0 from bgp route declarations outgoing from RTR_SYDNEY :

RTR_SYDNEY(config)#ip prefix-list FILTER1 deny 41.0.0.0/8
RTR_SYDNEY(config)#ip prefix-list FILTER1 deny 42.0.0.0/8
