[Sussex] Asterisk

[Mark Harrison]

Simon,

Asterisk is a great product isn't it....

Given you're into VOIP, I'm SIP:29517 at fwd.pulver.com

I've used a bunch of software phones, but will probably be going the SNOM route soon, simply because their display capabilities integrate well into a HomeAutomation setup :-)

  Hey all 

  Don't know if any of you have had any experience with Asterisk..? 
  (No not the little cartoon character with a fat friend from Gaul)

  We decided that as all our staff work from home we would get some sip phones. We plugged them in and set them up to connect to FWD and it sort of worked. However we needed something a littel more reliable so I installed my own sip server at the office.
  took all of 5 mins to download it and make:make install (Shortly afterwards I found I could have typed emerge asterisk)
  A few hours of ponsing about with config files and we found a site that had a setup guide for a basic setup.
  With a bit tweaking 5 minutes later we where phoning each other over IP and down VPNS .... Leaving Ansaphone messages and collecting them via email..
  I am now ordering the PCI card to interface to analogue phone lines.. 
  by the way the config was only 3 text files which I am happy to share if any one wants a kickstart. and we are using grandstream phones and also a software phone. 

  anyway worth a mention i thought

  -- 
  Kind Regards

  Simon Chappell
