You just did a stress test of your * server and your network link! :-)

[Asterisk-Users] telephony that just works

2005-10-10 Thread lenz


Hello list,
I am looking for a way to have multiple remote Windows users download a  
package and get connected to *. My idea would be that they run a simple  
app, it connects without any setting to an * box (maybe via IAX) and then  
people press a button to talk. It would be okay if they had to enter a  
username and password, but not more than that.


Looking for such software, I keep finding how much easier for a  
non-technical end-user is to download skype and have it running than  
downloading a softphone, creating an account, configuring the softphone  
and then dialing the required number. Having a way to use skype as a  
terminal would be nice, but I fear it's impossible by now (see  
http://www.skypejournal.com/blog/archives/2005/03/skype_strategy.php ).


So, anybody has experience of something that could be used, repackaged,  
modified or you-know-what that could be helpful in this case? And don't  
you think a IAX intercom could be somehow useful? :-)


Bye
l.

What you are looking for is a pc2phone dialer. This can be preconfigured
with all settings and when it connects to your * it ask for username and
password or just a pin. There are many of these out on the net. Most is
however locked to a provider but you will also find many that you can buy
with your settings in them.

i've tried IaxComm 
http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm/

it works, it's iax, and it's open source so you can re-package -
re-compile it with you own default settings (or even hide those settings
you don't want final users to see)

Using IAX to register to a server and call through it would just work.

This still would not handle instant-messaging.

iaxcomm is a start. Not the best in terms of usability, but a start. You
could hard-wire the server and make the accounts setup dialog a bit
firendlier.

Rather than recompile with presets, you'd probably want to change the reg keys
used in the installer.  When I was first developing iaxComm for family and
friends, I distributed the executable with a .reg file with their
username/password, the asterisk server , and a few speed dials preset.

I finally wrote the installer script for an ITSP that has a really neat
approach:

The user provides username and password on the web page.  The server modifies
the username and password in the nsi script, and rebuilds a new installer for
each user.

This is more or less what I wanted to do. But I think I can simply send my  
users a different .reg file every time.
DIAX also was promising - uses text files, do you just copy the directory  
and go - but I fear the licence.

You don't even need to install it, it runs in the user's browser.
( you will need IE6 and java installed -  I'll get other browsers  
supported later this week).


Email me if you want to test it out, and I'll arrange to answer the

I'd say it's excellent! worked fine with my Opera browser.
how do you plan to release this thingie? looks very very promising!
Thanks
