About Billing you should consider using A2B (Asterisk -2-Billing) - since you are already using Asterisk as a pbx, i think this is your best shot, you will be able to find the configuration manual on some wiki depending on the version you decide to use.
Usually you have to define trunks, generate call cards(if u choose to use), then configure the extensions A2B will offer a more intuitive interface compared to the Asterisk config files.

Dennis m s Bsc.Computer Science muk I can't tell you about the billing as that might need some customization. What I can tell you about is QoS: a) Will this run on your campus LAN? b) Will this run over your public Internet link? c) Will this run over private leased lines to elsewhere? Cheers, Mark. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This your garden-variety routing. Not sure how this ties into your QoS requirements. You still haven't mentioned whether the links your real-time traffic will traverse are the campus LAN, public Internet or private circuits.

Here are a few thoughts: - Instead of three dots, try use one time enter. it saves you 2 keystrokes. - Why GSM? Very expensive! Why not VOIP? Flash-video or any other streaming audio or audio+video streaming media. Good thing about this, is that you might be able to build the call-in thing of it later anyways (without the video for now) - With a project like this, focus on the content. Managing a network is a different OSI layer. Just have a server offering content, once you got that, its up to the mark tinka's in this world to make sure it reaches clients over a mostly IP based connection. They are really two different worlds. Keep them seperated. - Don't know into what software packages you are looking at to achieve this. Here is a random list that might be interesting to have look at: - ffmpeg. Converts from and to pretty much any media-type, if configured well. - dimdim or openmeeting. Two tools to do online collaboration, audio & video conferencing and broadcasting - red5, flash streaming video server (used in the previous two packages) - moodle, the free alternative of backboard - if you want to automate the whole of makerere at a go, just try http://www.sakaiproject.org Remember, of everything you do, others have probably already done 90%. You just fill in the last bit. rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Be a professional website builder: www.easysites.ug On Friday 31 October 2008 19:41:52 Dennis M S wrote: > Actually the project is a software cum networking combo..,i am working > on mobile clients(software),..to enable low latency audio&video > conferencing,playback of past lectures (calling server and listen in > to a selected pre recorded lecture...brings up voip gsm issue, since > lecture rooms in fcit have a P.A System its not entirely far fetched) > etc...for lecturer/student benefit...on the uni.
