An update on Asterisk

Posted on 07-Apr-2007

This is just a quick blog entry to note that I now have a working environment of a local telephone system, including three telephones inside the house and two located with my daughter some way away.

I initially purchased a linksys spa3102 as the first attempt to get ordinary telephones to work with , but after that I discovered the linksys pap2t, which gives two analogue phone circuits each. The whole setup works fine.

I have even managed to get asterisk to set up conference rooms and voicemail. Quality is really good.

Playing with Asterisk

Asterisk is the Open Source PBX software that can manage telephone lines. As well as the classical hardware phones, more importantly for me, it also manages VOIP traffic. I decided to give it a go after I received our last quarterly telephone bill and discovered that we had spent £110 talking to my daughter in the period.
