Hi Michael,
To me the reason I'd really like SS7 over PRI ISDN is that I would
really like to get the CPC data on incoming calls which PRI ISDN cannot
do and thats it in total. Currently the only choice is Markku Korpi's
commercial SS7 driver.
So my question to the list.
If there is such a huge need for this product why has the code not
been developed?
I think not many people need SS7 - maybe its not big/available in the
US? Also normal businesses will get by fine with PRI ISDN (they don't
want/need the CPC switch data).
Is it that the developer realizeed that they can sell it for
lots o money
Markku Korpi's driver is not cheap for sure
Best of luck! When you are finished I you might want lots of money for
your non-opensource SS7 software too! :)

We are interested in starting an in house development of an SS7
Interface for our asterisk switches.
We only really have to setup a few basic messaging sets in order to
make Asterisk operate as a SSP (I think).
It seems that FootNote SS7 development is stalled (at least I have
never seen any code come from Race) also openSS7 doesn't really have
anything compatible with asterisk.
We plan to start the planning portion in the next few days. We will
only support a minimal messaging set that is specific to our needs for
SSPs.
Is there any technical advice for direction to go or issues to work out?
I wanted to mention that we have decided to do this in house because
the open source solutions are not there yet and they seem to want to
be everything to everyone. We don't need that. The openss7 product
seems to address TOO many features. We dont plan to connect to an SCP
node, we can survive without LNP and Database Lookups.

Is it that the message sets are two big and complex? Maybe
the developer wants to be able to support way more messages than we need.
I have not yet decided what we will be doing with the once we have
completed things but if we should decided to open source it we will
want to make sure that the code is written the best way possible for
asterisk.
Would Asterisk-Dev be an appropriate place to post questions about the
best practice ways to develop the application.
Are there any caveats or gotchas that you may have experienced or
heard of to the development of this subset of SS7 functionality?
Thanks
Michael Blood
