Hello all,
This is my first message to the mailing list. I am seeking advice as to
how to proceed/what to get for my current situation.
I want to use asterisk to make a system that does pure outbound calls
and plays a message upon a live answer or answering machine. Basically
it needs to make several calls at once. This is non-profit and is to
help out a question we have on the local ballot. I am good with
python/php/mysql, and freebsd server administration. I am alright in
linux. I want to do this myself or at most with a couple of friends. I
am rusty with C/C++ (haven't done any since college).
What's the most cost effective way to get this done? I want to do it
myself and am up to the task. I just need to be pointed in the right
direction.
What are your recommendations as to how to proceed? Should I go all
Vo-ip and just connect the server running asterisk to a dsl line?
Should I get some digium/zaptel hardware and connect to a T-1 line
?(about 250-350$ a month down here, which is acceptible). My Budget is
up to a grand or so a month. The less the better. My main concern is
cost per call, not just fixed monthly rates. The calls will all be going
to local PSTN numbers.
Am I looking at making some AGI program in python that draws from a
mysql database of numbers and dials out/leaves the message? Is it even
possible in asterisk to make multiple outbound calls at the same time in
such a way?
Any recommendations/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for
your time. Now I'll go back to reading. :-)
