Hi, I will give you a little background so you can fully see what I am trying to do; We are testing a few Linux distributions; We are deploying an Asterisk /Cisco 7940 solution in all of our sites. Currently we are trialing it in two sites with rpath Poundkey distribution and a TDM400P (will be using IAX2 with a VOIP provider for outbound soon). The trail is going very well. A few issues we need to work on; 1. Echo for a few seconds at the start of some inbound calls from the PSTN 2. Sound quality could be improved on calls to/from the PSTN (slight choppiness on the Cisco phones (perfect on VOIP to VOIP)) In saying the above the quality is acceptable as is; but it has room for improvement, currently I am testing a Digium B410P ISDN card with hardware echo can.(we will see if this may help) and Astlinux. I must say I am very impressed with Astlinux but I have one problem; The Cisco has no lights to indicate call/busy status (reception would like to know if the person is on the phone before the call is put through; we do not do blind transfers) we do not want to use software on the PC to display the status. Here is our solution it uses a python script (I did not write it) and the xml browser capabilities of the Cisco. Here is how it works/is used; 1. Push the services button the Cisco 2. Calls a python script in the cgi-bin on the Asterisk box 3. This queries Asterisk and gets the status of all extensions 4. Then displays it on the screen on the Cisco it looks like this; my extension is 313 and I am on an outbound -> call to this number 133933 311 A.Doe 312 B.Smith 313->133933 B.Wilks ************************************* Here is the python question; can I make Astlinux run this python script? use another language or do it some other why? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, B.W
