FYI Where is Lenny?

[prattmd2]

I have Incredible PBX with extension 53669 pre-set up going to Lenny.



I just get a busy signal. Any ideas?

Search for Lenny on this forum. There were posts about the legality of using it due to the person that said we could may not have had the right to do so. There was a version/freePBXmod to put Lenny on your own box (not sure if the link to that is even valid to use anymore)

For legalities and to be fair to the Original Developer(s), I believe Mr Mundy may have disabled the ability to use that routing

I believe the REAL one is SIP/[email protected] I could be (and probably am) wrong on the usage (address) of this and I believe they have rules on the site too.

Someone else may have a better understanding of the use/non-use of the Lenny Mod (on your own box or via others). I just remember reading about it a few months back.

Good Luck and Happy New Year -- Just remember to use SEARCH either here or Google (is your friend)

As I read it, the legality had to do with the voice files not the programming around it.
There'd been a project to create It'sLenny on your own PBX.
I recently installed IncrediblePBX, and, without realizing that Lenny was unavailable, installed the script from nerdvittles.
Once that was done, the programming was in place (and I'm unsure whether it was the install from nerdvittles or the IncrtediblePBX that put them there).
Anyway, if you create voice files in your /var/lib/asterisk/sounds named Lenny01.ulaw through Lenny15.ulaw you will then have a working Lenny-with-your-voice at local/53669@from-internal.
I'm still figuring out what they should be, and how to record the sound of a phone being picked up. If you're on Windows, Audacity does a fine job producing ulaw files. My issue is that I don't channel Lenny very well. There was someone else here who mentioned having created ulaw files with his two sons (3 and 6 I think) asking "do you want to talk to Dad?" and "Daaaad! Are you coming?" (off phone) and "He says he's coming!". If I had little kids, I'd go with that, and maybe the older kid trying to get the phone away from the younger ("No! My talking! Hiiiiiii! How doing?" from the younger one).
Also, I'm pretty sure the actual It'sLenny voice files are on DSLReports somewhere, although IMO it's probably better not to because of the legality thing.

Sound files still on DSLR last time I checked...
