Hello,
I'm the one who wrote the new web interface for ekiga.net. I know
numeric aliases are important for our users, ufortunately I'm facing
quite a lot of troubles in my life and the developement is very, very
slow at the moment.
The source code is available here:
http://webxser.tuxfamily.org/
and a bug for this particular feature has been opened here:
http://webxser.tuxfamily.org/flyspray/index.php?do=detailstask_id=5
but the plan is first to move the webinterface to drupal first. Still if
anyone want to add this feature in the meantime to webxser, this help
will be welcome.
Sorry for not being able to help you now,
Best regards,
Yannick

Hi Simos,
Well, I'm new to ekiga, but if I understand correctly, each account, say
sip:j...@ekiga.net, can have a numeric alias, say 1234...@ekiga.net, so that
I can call John from an ATA (i.e., my phone has a numeric keypad, but not a
full keyboard). I understand this functionality used to exist, but was
removed sometime in 2008, along with the web-based account maintenance. I
just cast my vote to bring it back. :-)
I will look up this issue in Bugzilla, thanks for the pointer.
I see. It looks like this issue is not an Ekiga issue but a feature in
the SIP server at ekiga.net.
That is, the SIP server at ekiga.net could be configured to allow
these 'numeric aliases',
that correspond to some index number (for example, the first person
which subscribed to ekiga.net is 1, the second is 10001 and so on).
For this, you can ask the admin at ekiga.net. I am not sure if s/he
reads this list.
It could be possible for Ekiga to provide support with a smart way
that assigns numbers to individual accounts that you may have in your
addressbook,
something similar to the feature you have on a mobile phone. For
example, when you
dial '1' and it takes you to an entry in your addressbook that you
configured earlier.
Such a feature would work well when you have many different SIP
providers enabled in your Ekiga.
If you feel this would be more reasonable, then you need to search at
bugzilla.gnome.org as
instructed before.
Hope this helps,
Simos

Hi,
First of all, thanks for Ekiga! Second, I'd like to add my vote to bring
back the web interface, or at least the numeric alias feature.
As a bit of background, I am looking for a new VoIP provider for a
circle of
about 20 family and friends. We have used FreeWorldDialup in the past,
and
even paid for membership in 2008, but their service has been appalling
lately. We all use Handytone 286/386/486 ATAs, and we would like to keep
using them. Most of these people are non-technical users and they would
have
a hard time using a soft phone; besides, they are not in the habit of
keeping their computers on 24/7. Me and my brother took the time to set
up
and configure all these ATAs.
Now we would love to switch to ekiga.net (we have been free software
fans
for many years), but to do so, we need numerical aliases in order to
continue using ATAs and regular phones.
There are several advantages to using an ATA over a soft phone: there is
no
need to keep the computer up 24/7, we can use any phone we like (e.g. a
cordless one or an answering machine) etc. Please, bring back numeric
aliases!
I am not sure what you mean with numeric aliases. Can you give an example?
The way to go forward with this request is to
1. Check at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=ekiga
is the issue has been already reported.
You normally go through the bug reports and try to find a similar request.
2. If [1] was fruitful, subscribe to the bug report.
3. If [2] was not fruitful, then you can add a bug report (of the type
'feature request')
and put here the URL to this bug report. Other users that are interested
can subscribe to the report and add their input.
Hope this helps,
Simos
