Hi, Without going in depth of my thesis research, this is _no_ utopia and with a good organisation it can be set very easily also by non techies.
Probably everybody remembers Sipphone.com with there *cute* little blackboxes where you can put in a landline, ethernet, and a regular phone (pots). With the thingie you can switch landline/vip by placing a * before a phonecall. Rest can be setup in a webinterface. This box is stupid but cheap! So what is my proposal to make it smart? Implementing ENUM in it. Something close to the DNS/ITU version, but with this difference that least cost routing is in place. Basically the SIP proxy/Asterisk where you connect to feets the DNS database with replacements for tel:phonenumber to sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] DNS (ENUM) knows when the user calls to a non-voipable localcall, thus, the tel:localnumer would tranfer to the real phonenet. [*] But... since I cannot get any hold of Leadtech and the company who designed this box refers to them I cannot get this idea into practice. But as you know this box is only a FXO/FXS with Eth0, things Asterisk has got too, by implementing this smart routing in a dialplan format (Dynamic ENUM is this case) your utopia gets a GPS position on the map. [*] I'm, at the moment, trying to extend DNS with some privacy aspects making ENUM for myself more valuable. With this same privacy extensions it would be possible to _identify_ a user and generate the right responce. This all sounds great if you have a userbase, without it I could only call only call yourself on my brand new communication system...
