build my own PBX with Asterisk

Anyone that I want to talk to would know my cell number. I built the automated menu system from hell on my home phone. Surveys, 4 languages, ghastly music on hold, long…. long…. long…. meaningless prompts, loops, “Are you sure?”, “Are you REALLY sure?”.

My friends call the number just to listen to “the beast”. If I did not have my Tivo and alarm on the land – line, I would disconnect.

Just got back from AstriCon today, awesome convention! I’m inspired and energized.

Step 1 : Refine my Asterisk build and dial plan (AEL?)
Step 2 : Implement Dundi on a cluster deployment
Step 3 : Unleash my newly discovered Ruby on Rails powers.

Trixbox in friendly and self install, it’s a good Product. With the small PC (32Mbyte RAM) I’ve used a Debian with CD collection asterisk binaries include. They work both.

I have installed TrixBox and shaped two trunks. I’ve still added X-lite on an other PC in order to try it. It works!!

Hi gang,

I’ve installed Asterisk@home on a spare laptop and set up a couple of extensions on 2 other computers. I could call each one and chat. Superfreakingcool! Then i fooled around with the RAGI ruby programming language and could do cool IVR type stuff….
