Mike,

I have been mulling similar ideas for some time.  I've turned up the
same projects you have.

 From what I can tell, I feel I am uncovering the tip of the ice berg and
 this may not be trivial.

I've pretty much got the same feeling based on my research.  I don't
think this is a trivial problem to solve. 

 But it seems that the Voice recognition
 application, once developed, would have to be linked via an AGI to the
 asterisk dial plan.

I think this is accurate.  You would use either AGI or a native Asterisk
module to connect the pieces.

 Has anyone gotten Voice recognition working with Asterisk? Last I saw, a
 few were attempting to apply Sphinx back in the December and April time
 frame. Any shared successes, progress or direction on Sphinx or any
 other VR app would be appreciated before I start down this road.

I have nothing working at this point, just some ideas and a plan to
explore further.  As soon as I have free time I'm hoping to explore
some of my ideas on my * system.

I certainly would be happy to hear others' experiences  on this mail
list.

You can pitch into the bounty to sweeten the pot for someone who is good
enough. 

I know some guys who are capable and I've forwarded on the bounty notice
but I'm guessing it's not high enough to make it worth their while
shrug.

 The fix for me since I roll my own kernels, after a lot of buggering 
 about and head banging on the desk, the solution was rather simple...
 
 cd /usr/src
 ln -s linux-2.4.25 linux

If you build your own software, the above is recommended.  I do this
routinely on my systems.  Many software packages built from source
expect the linux source code/headers in /usr/src/linux.

I have * running on Debian stable.  I back-ported the zaptel and
asterisk packages from testing.  I'm currently evaluating * for my uses
and so this is not a production system.  My back-ported packages are
also not complete although they are functional for my uses so far.

do you have a hardware problem?  the zaptel hardware just worked for
me.

 now that the lists are at 2-300 email messages a day, perhaps it's time
 to move it to a web forum instead? This can give us lots of categories
 (all the apps and channels etc etc), an easily searchable thing such as
 phpbb and it'll be a lot easier to find the actual info.

While I myself am feeling a little overwhelmed by the mail traffic too,
I don't like the idea of forums.  Personally, I have yet to see a forum
that I consider useful.  All too often forums are slow, difficult to
search and waste too much time throughout the day polling for new posts.

I think a decent mail list archive with searching capabilities and
sortable by date/thread/author should be fine.  If the traffic is too
much for you then unsubscribe and scan the archives from time to time.

I'm involved with a few organizations that spent considerable time,
effort and $$ setting up and managing forums only to find they are
consistently under-utilized.

I vote against forums.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Compiling while * is running

  Seg faulting compiles usually indicate a memory problem on the

 I don't agree.  When first learning to program, my programs segfaulted all
 of the time, regarless of what machine I was on.  Often, it was doing
 something stupid, like trying to replace a file that was in use, etc.

I think you are mis-reading Rob.  True that your own programs segfaulted
but did you cause GCC to segfault?  I think the original author said
that GCC was itself segfaulting.  GCC is so well used and tested that as
Rob points out, the most common cause of a GCC segfault is hardware
failure.

 My suggestion: if this downtime is unacceptable for your use, then get an
 identical machine, exactly alike in all ways, including library versions,
 hardware, etc, and compile it on that machine.  Then copy the appropriate
 directories over to your production machine.  Copy the production machine's
 directories to a safe location, stop * and zaptel, copy the new compiled
 things over, then restart * and zaptel.  My guess is that 30 seconds should
 be plenty of time for this change.  Thus, you only need to have been up for
 the last 3.47 days to have 99.999% uptime.

This is a reason I argue for binary packages in production
environments.  You can build the packages (eg. debs or RPMs) on a
development machine at your leisure and install the binary in minutes on
the production machine.  If your packages use proper dependencies you
can also be much more sure you can reproduce your environment on new
hardware (testing, qa, hot-spare, disaster recovery etc).
