Hi All, First of all, please no flames about the footer of this message. It's being inserted into all outgoing email by the server here without asking me personally first once I send out email. Since I've been very interested in setting up an Asterisk PBX + IVR + Voicemail system to support a small business and a foundation for quite some time now, in order to replace their current ISDN PBX, I've been following the discussions on this list and have been reading whatever I could find or ran into about Asterisk.
Although my favorite configuration would consist of an ISDN2 telco connection on the outside and running multiple ISDN phones from a single point-to-multipoint nt-mode ISDN controller (CologneChip based) on the inside, this does not seem to be supported very well at this stage. ISDN bus power, as described by the PBX4Linux initiative, is not much of an issue for me personally, because all our ISDN equipment have their own power supply. Hopefully support for internal ISDN S-busses will become available in time, as we, like many others in Europe, have made significant investments in ISDN equipment over the years and like to be able to use it with Asterisk. For the time being I've decided to hookup an Asterisk box to one to the internal extension ports of our PBX and run an IVR and Voicemail system on it. Before I do, I would appreciate more experienced Asterisk users to review my plans and check whether my ambitions are feasible. The configuration that I would like to setup has the following characteristics: a. Pentium 166 (am I pushing it ?) based Asterisk box running Linux (what flavour ?) b. Hooked up to ISDN PBX using an ISDN4Linux (chan_modem ?) or CAPI4Linux (chan_capi ?) compatible ISDN controller. c. Asterisk accepting external calls from MSN's configured in PBX and transferred to Asterisk box (trivial !) d. Custom IVR application (module or AGI based ?) presenting caller with usual IVR stuff according to our needs and transfering (chan_modem or chan_capi, which one can do it ?) calls to the phones connected to the PBX. e. Setup voice mail and make sure PBX transfers calls to it when appropriate. Can this be done like this ? Regards, Hans Vledder The Netherlands P.S. He who comes up with clean internal ISDN bus (point to multi-point) support for Asterisk, based on CologneChip based equipment receives an 18" large Dutch cheese in the mail, right after I've wiped away my tears of happiness ! -- The contents of this e-mail are intended for the named addressee only.
