If you dont want to get too stuck into the guts of Asterisk yet, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] distribution can do all you have requested with a one button install & web configuration via AMP. Personally I think its a great place to start with asterisk whatever your requirements as it makes a good base without having to go through the drudgery of installing asterisk & the requirements/add-ons piecemeal, espically AMP, as the prereqs are a stress! (mumbles something about a, thankfully forgotten, nightmarish FreeBSD Asterisk/AMP install then fades into background, wimpering) :)
Hope that helps, -Alex. -----Original Message----- From: "Roy Kidder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 31/12/2005 18:41 To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [Asterisk-Users] voicemail/privacy system Hello all. I'm relatively new to Asterisk, and before I get too involved in it, I want to find out if it will do what I'd like it to do (I'm relatively sure it can). In short, my goal is to set up a voicemail system and privacy manager for my home. For my proof of concept, I have a single port FXO card attached to a single POTS line. Currently, the FXO card sits "in parallel" to my phone. If I can get the answering/routing working the way I want, I'd upgrade that to a TDM11B and put my phone on the FXS side, completely "hidden" from the telco network. The privacy manager part is similar to the residental product many telcos are offering these days: when a call comes in with no caller-id, play a message stating that such calls aren't accepted and hang up. The voicemail part is also similar to what telcos are offering. When an incoming call (with caller-id, of course) comes in and isn't answered, it's routed to an attendant that allows the caller to press "1" to leave a message for "Joe" or "2" to leave a message for "Jane", etc. So basically, the end product would be a single incoming line with a single physical extension and multiple "virtual" extensions (the voicemail boxes). Another feature I'd be interested in is being able to gathering up those voicemail messages, converting them to MP3 (if not already converted), and emailing them to the recipient (instead of leaving them in the voicemail system). I'm probably write that in perl with a mysql backend if there isn't already a tool out there for that. I currently have the kernel modules "zaptel" and "wcfxo" working and recognizing my card, as well as asterisk answering incoming calls and playing the demo, but I have no idea where to go from there. Any help would be appreciated.
