Obi100 Started Working Again. Anyone Else?
billsimon:
I wanted to see if one of their servers is now using the older certificate authority while others are using the newer one (that the Obi100/110 can't handle). It looks like Google has switched some servers back to the old CA. For how long? Who knows?

So my 100 stopped working about two weeks ago. I left it plugged in and yesterday it rang. It's still working today. Anyone else's 1xx series working again?
I'm a little concerned by this. Someone please help a newbie out - I've had an Obi110 for years, had some problems with it about a month ago and got the Simonics GVGW, and have had no problems ever since. It's even better than before, because my phones now show caller ID names and they didn't in the past.
So ... am I ok with my 110 + Simonics, or can I expect the rug to be pulled out any moment now?

Your 110 plus Simonics is fine and will continue to be until one of:
1. Your 110 has a hardware failure
2. Simonics goes out of business
3. Google makes another change that even Bill cannot overcome
4. The end of the world
happens
I reckon the third of those is the most likely. :)

The GVGW is not affected by the changes in certificate. We keep our root certificate stores updated. The reason it seems to be fluctuating back and forth with the direct Obi 100/110 connection to GV (not GVGW) is that the Obi occasionally finds a Google XMPP server that has not been updated with the newer certificates, and connects.

Thanks, all. The Simonics GVGW is wonderful and working great. I love this stuff, and really want to get into customizing my OBi, but my life right now is such that I just don't have a minute to spare to give to it. Right now I just need reliable dial tone -- and since I have that, and everything is working wonderfully, I'm happy as a clam. I hope it all keeps together until at least this spring when I can look into a newer OBi and all the wonderful things you can do with it.
Merry Christmas everyone.
