Re: [on-asterisk] IT360.ca invitation to independent Asterisk User Group members
Simon: I have a coworker (who is not yet a TAUG subscriber) who is very interested in this offer. Can he take advantage of this offer? Thanks, Mark. -Original Message- From: Simon P. Ditner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: asterisk@uc.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [on-asterisk] IT360.ca invitation to independent Asterisk User Group members Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 22:56:35 -0400 (EDT) Perhaps the word 'developer' scared some of you off? We mean this to be for independent TAUG members in the sense that you don't have some big company backing you. No need to be a C developer ;-) So, first, there is the FREE trade show pass, with code TS1, which gets you into the keynotes and includes the talks by Mark Spencer and Kevin Fleming, and the TAUG meeting in the evening is also free. If you are interested in the full conference and you fit in the category of an independent asterisk user group member, the 60% discount code applies to you, you would choose the Asterisk Open Telephony Conference at https://www.exporeg.com/it360/, and use the code HS60, which gets you the $380+gst price until Mar 17, $420+gst afterwards. Otherwise the 25% discount code applies, A101, which is $712.50+gst until Mar 17 and $787.50+gst afterwards.

[on-asterisk] Smallest Asterisk Installation
I need a few opinions. I came across this product and I started to scratch my head. http://www.picotux.com/indexe.html What is the smallest footprint that Asterisk could run on? Do you think that 5 -10 extensions could be run on this device? Don Moskaluk

I would say that anything with more than 200MHz worth of CPU could be counted on to handle at least 10 calls with no troubles, as long as transcoding and echo cancellation were not involved. Another question I'd have is why this device?. This thing costs more than a Linksys WRT54GL, and while I personally love tiny computers, at $100 per, one has to understand the value of the miniature form factor in terms of the problem being solved.

If you slim down the config, you will be able to fit asterisk in about 6M of RAM (SIP only). At 266MHz (ARM) you will be able to handle around 10 calls until the idle CPU will bounce between 0 and 30% idle. Check out the linux Linksys routers (as Jim mentioned) or the Linksys NSLU2 device (more RAM) - http://www.nslu2-linux.org/ For most of the hackable routers and NAS, you can find precompiled packages under the optware feeds.

[on-asterisk] Consumer grade IP Phone Set or reliable ATA
Good Evening All :) For those of you who have experience in the area and have actually implemented large volume of IP Phone sets or ATAs I have a few questions. These units will be setup to connect to one central system (Asterisk) from outside. So, NAT is probably important. The following are the requirements that have to be met by the IP Phone set or the ATA: IP Phone: -Support SIP or IAX (MGCP support is a bonus) -Have at least 1 X LAN in addition to the 1 X WAN port -Support G.729 besides supporting G.711 (I can settle for just G.711 if I have to) -NAT friendly (Probably this rules out lots of sets) -Cheapest available and looking for any or all options available. (color or no style don't bother me) -Provisionable over HTTP or TFT (this would be one amazing feature that I would love to have on the ATA or the phone; No necessary feature) ATA -Support SIP or IAX (MGCP support is a bonus) -Have at least 1 X LAN in addition to the 1 X WAN port -At least 1 X FXS port (Don't really need FXO but if it's available I don't care; 2 X FXS would be a bonus) -Support G.729 and G.711 (can settle for G.711 if have to) -NAT friendly -Provisionable over HTTP or TFT (this would be one amazing feature that I would love to have on the ATA or the phone; No necessary feature) -Cheapest available and looking for any or all options available. I know that Linksys allows provisioning but I think even their program is hard to obtain or at least costs a lot. Please let me know if you know otherwise. Since lots and lots of these units are needed so I don't think that price or provisioning would be a problem. Please remember to definitely keep prices under $100.

RE: [on-asterisk] Bell strike likely imminent
With BTS not being part of the possible strike Bell will probably have the upper hand. CO managers and BTS employees should be able to cover the field and the CO. There might not be any real issues, probably not at CLEC level at least.

[on-asterisk] Support services needed.
I have a Trixbox install that works fine for the softphones on IAX. I now have some hard phones that I'm attempting to connect through PAP2 adapters. I've got them connected. They can successfully dial a number, but there is no sound heard in either direction. I BELIEVE I have all the appropriate ports open. There is a NAT at each end of this connection. I'm glad to pay someone for assistance for the last bit of config here. Please contact me offline with a quote. Thanks in advance. Kev.
RE: [on-asterisk] Support services needed.
I would suggest trying a SIP softphone first.

I have not heard good things about NAT support on polycoms and also they are really pricey for this project unless you know of a place where they can be found for less than $50.

[on-asterisk] Mass Voicemail Blasting
I noticed the new version of Trixbox has Voicemail Blasting, however, it appears to only allow sending a single voicemail out to a number of extensions on your own PBX. Is there anything available to allow a call center rep that is calling clients but get's their voicemail, to leave a recorded message in the voicemail box instead of having to verbally say everything over and over again?
