Re: [asterisk-users] Console softphone
You can install a browser softphone on the same server and make calls from any browser. Ted - Original Message - From: Julien Claassen To: asterisk users mailinglist Subject: [asterisk-users] Console softphone Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:16:59 +0200 (CEST) Hello all! Is there a way to (mis)use asterisk itself as a softphone? Can I make a call from within the CLI? Can asterisk from itself produce a ringtone? Or can I bind a system-command to incoming calls? Any help is sincerely appreciated!

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco vs Asterisk
I'm a CCIE and CCVP. I have worked in the Cisco TSBU on both CCM and Telepresence systems I have two IP patents for the VoiP Lite protocols and have been designing and building OSS IPBXs for companies including Google going back to 2001. I'm not mentioning any of that to be jerk I mentioned it to say I'm as qualified as anyone to to compare the CCM and OSS servers. The only fair way to compare the two is a list of weights features, for example if cost is your biggest feature then OSS is better, if support is your biggest feature than Cisco wins. When a customer is comparing the costly (TCO) and best supported systems in the world with hundreds of thousands installed systems for the large global companies on the planted backed by 54,000 employees and over $25b in the bank vs, a FREE system with one layer of support maybe two layers of support, the features don't even come in the evaluation in my opinion. I once asked a manager why did you buy the CCM and he said no one ever got fired for buying Cisco if anything wrong, If push the OSS and it goes I could loose my job. I would get a list of the important features, because there is no answer to your question of which is better. - Original Message - From: Benoit Plessis To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco vs Asterisk Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:10:50 +0200 voip crazy a écrit : Hello all, A client of us, is thinking to migrate their actual PBX to a Cisco CallManager.

You said migrate to a Cisco, what do they have now? Sell them all Cisco. You will make more money and great residual income for MACs ;-) Anyways, you could ditch the Cisco entirely and use Asterisk.

Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 19:04:31 -0500 Hello, I've done a bit of research, though obviously in the wrong places. :) I'm looking to set up some type of distinctive ring for SIP phones based on the context in which the SIP phone is being called from. If that sounds confusing it isn't. I have two FXOs connected to POTS, so in essence a caller could be dialing us at one of two phone numbers. Each of those FXOs has its own context in extensions.conf. The contexts essentially grab the incoming call and ring a bunch of single line SIP phones. If no one answers then the call is sent to voicemail depending on the number that the caller dialed. The problem is that when the SIP phones ring, there's no way for us humans to tell which number the caller actually dialed. My initial thought was to make some type of distinctive ring to the SIP phones to indicate which number the caller dialed, much in the same way that the telco does it when someone has the distintive ring service. Another idea would be to set the callerid on the SIP phones to indicate which line was dialed. The drawback there is that we lose the incoming callerid from POTS. Maybe set one of line of the callerid to the incoming line and leave the other as the callerid number? Does anyone have experience with setting distinctive ring in SIP in such a way?
