What I'm trying to do, ultimately, is a demo that will look something like what Village Telco (villagetelco.org) is doing, where you have a group of users on a sort of remote "village network" with a central Asterisk server acting as a dialout gateway to the rest of the world. The difference in my setup is that the central server will also offer a land-mobile radio gateway. The secret sauce that makes the radio system work is part of a bundled CentOS/Asterisk distribution from AllStar Link (allstarlink.org). The guys behind it are apparently the ones originally responsible for the chan_usbradio driver and app_rpt applications. However, they forked Asterisk around 1.4.23, created their own repository, and have only updated chan_usbradio and app_rpt in their own source tree. I need those updates to support my interface hardware, so I'm stuck using the AllStar distribution. For my particular demo, I'll have a single POTS line to use as an outbound route, so if I want multiple local extensions to be able to participate in the call I have to conference them on my end. One way to do this, of course, would be to have two local servers trunked together: one dedicated to the radio system, running the AllStar 1.4 distro, and another with 1.8 doing the outbound dialing and local phones... but I'm on a tinkerer's budget and don't have a second PC that's capable enough. Trying to make do with what I have, if I can. =) Josh -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
