VoIP with asterisk

Well I have now with somewhat mixed results implemented what appears to be a working asterisk server with digium card and even correctly configured for Australia (loop start) and not the default which I guess works well in the US.

Have to give a big thanks to Ben who must have gone to a lot of effort to write Asterisk@Home Without Tears which was a very valuable reference guide and did assist in getting things finally working. I will just point out though if you do happen to be in Australia and are using this reference and installing a Digium card – you will need to change the default signalling from fxo_ks and fxs_ks to fxo_ls and fxs_ls in the zapata-auto.conf file.

I have found NEHOS (a VoIP providor) to provide competitive pricing and also good service, and allow the connection of IAX trunks directly to the asterisk server.

CTN Conference on 29-30 March 2006.

I have been asked to be part of a panel discussion at the Consumers’ Telecommunications Network Annual Conference – Content, Convergence and Consumers – to be held at the Country Embassy, Level 44 Grosvenor Place, 225 George Street, Sydney. The Convergence and Complaints panel discussion we would like you to participate in is on 30^th March 2006 at 1.50 pm.

I will be part of the VoIP & Consumers expectations, and will be arguing the case for consumers. Hope to see lots of you at the conference but also am interested in your feedback, as to what your expectations are of VoIP.
