Least year, there was a thread discussing set up of an asterisk system,
which included a description by Arik Baratz (see e.g.
<http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il/msg52213.html> and
<http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il/msg52276.html>)
I am planning to set up something similar, and before I embark, wanted
to ask anyone on the list if they have anything to add to that
discussion. From looking around, it seems that:
- VPSLink is still the cheapest VPS host at $8/month (or $80/year) for
64MB of memory. It seems like the OpenVZ package is better suited
than the Xen package, being less resource intensive. And from past
experience I would bet on Debian -- however, can anyone here share
their experience (Arik?). Will "apt-get install asterisk" be enough,
or will I have to compile everything myself?
- grnvoip still seems like the cheapest termination service - but
only provides SIP connection, whereas voipjet, still competitive,
provides only IAX2. Any recommendation here? IAX2 is supposed to
be less resource intensive than SIP, but I don't know if that'll
matter on a 64MB machine routing at most two calls.
- didww.com is competitive on DIDs ($3/month for 077- number in IL,
$10/month for 03- number, $2/month US number), but other such as
diamondcard.us provide same prices, and also do termination (although
not as cheaply as grnvoip or voipjet).
- Any positive or negative experiences routing SMS between those
systems?
Does anyone have experience, specific software versions and/or
configuration scripts to share with regards to such a setup?
Thanks in advance,
Ori.
