100, 101 are built in, no perl needed, 102 may require a short script.I received a recommendation to check out Asterisk, as a platform to host a simple DTMF response system, something like:
Setup up VoIP endpoint on Linux/FreeBSD system Answer incoming VoIP phone calls User enters 100#, perl script plays back "foo" User enters 101#, perl script plays back "fum" User enters 102#, perl script looks up something in database, converts to text with festival, speaks it.
How would one get started, using Asterisks on this project,
Read. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk Also the config files that come with it. It takes some study time to absorb.
Or hire a consultant.
and is Asterisks the best option?
It's an excellent option, though pretty underutilized for your application.
Is it really good enough for a high volume (though sub carrier-grade) solution?
Yes
