A Class 4 PBX? What it is? In short, a class 4 PBX is the one that interconnects different PBX. Commonly, this class of PBX doesn't have contact with end-users. The perfect example of class 4 PBX is the carrier that sells IP telephony companies the DIDs (origination) and outgoing gateways (termination). There are more differences between a 5 class and a 4 class PBX, my article about that covers it.
For the sake of this article, let's pretend everybody knows what is a class 4 and a class 5 PBX. Let's discuss FusionPBX. FusionPBX, out of the box brings let's say, 90% of all the needs a class-5 PBX needs: voicemail, IVR menus, time conditions, queues, and a lot more features that are useless if all you want is a class-4 PBX.

And it happened again, my old trusty HP Omen 17" i7 laptop passed away.
So it was about time, and I had to renew my old trust Acer V5 15" i5 Laptop. After digging and digging I decided to get an HP OMEN 17.3" i7-8750H Laptop. Although it is hardware built for gamers, the fact that it has 12 CPU cores makes it attractive for coders and people who need power for other things than playing.
I will write here how I managed to make it work almost flawlessly under Linux Mageia 7 (and keep updating Mageia).

So, again. In my last article related to how to work around the crappy surcharges some greedy carriers are imposing, I describe how to extend the call to a minimum of 6 seconds when the caller hangs up first. This is very useful in a class-5 PBX, but it is not enough. Another surcharge that carriers are innovating is the cancellation ratio; you may get a surcharge if a certain percentage of your calls in a given period exceeds a threshold.
