A New Phone system from scratch --
With a linux box, a couple of cards, a bit of software and
a network, you can build a phone system that allows you to
use the Internet to carry Voice Over IP traffic, which
has a direct connection to the telephone system.
Asterisk is a Open Source package that will turn your
linux machine into a phone switch. Add to it a SIP
phone, or a Soft phone, and you have the making
of a PBX system that is very powerful.
Gary and Louis will show how to install Asterix and
what the set up in order to create a PBX for your
home. This allows you to use your computer as
a phone. It allows you to take a trip to the coast,
and have the phone on your motel room network ring
as an extension to your home phone number.

We will talk about things like:
Can I have a voice mail box that sends me email?
Can I have an extension on my home phone that forwards
to my cell phone when I am not at home
Can I set my phone never to accept a phone call from
certain people?
Can I hook my MP3 collection to my phone for
music on hold?
Can I program how my phone works based on time slots?
Do you want a more flexible phone system, come
see how you can make one out of your linux machine.
