This was in the lexmark case most recently but that was based on supreme court rulings from days gone by.

[asterisk-biz] Open source Asterisk billing solution
Hi guys, I've been asked to setup an Asterisk server with accounting functions for a client and his customers. To keep it short and sweet he wants to provide dids to his customers and charge a monthly service fee for the customer having the line and when the time comes offer packages of minutes and have charges be added to the account when the package minutes run out. What open source solutions do you guys suggest I look at. A requirement I have is that there is an active community of users out there I can communicate with and that the product is under active development. It wouldn't be right for me to start using a project and then have it die out on me soon after I implement a solution for a large company. One I've looked at is A2billing. This program seems to have a lot of the functions I want, but still seems to be based around the concept of calling cards. This will work for some situations I'm in, but doesn't quite seem to be what I need for operating a standard phone company system over voip. Thanks, Tom No virus found in this outgoing message.

The GXP has some neat features, but the quality of construction and sound quality on the Polycoms is just so far ahead of the Grandstreams that it's not even in the same ballpark. The Polycoms are also far easier to provision (it's just simple XML).

The key issue isnt a concern since the courts ruled that lock out codes arent copyrightable (and thus not protected, not available for gpl license terms, etc). This was in the lexmark case most recently but that was based on supreme court rulings from days gone by. So if you have a clean build environment (meaning you dont use digium code) you can build modules and distribute them with a closed license, just not distributed with gpl stuff, since again the gpl covers distribution not use. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz

We want to change our external callcenter to new, internal callcenter, but first time, we need to work with external parallel. We will connect to our telephone provider with sip trunk, and the X percentageof incoming calls will be forwarded to external callcenter, and 100-X percentage will go to our queue of agents. My question is, how can i make this forwarding rule, the percentage is allways changing. My idea, please tell me, while is a stupid idea: Ill make 11 normal sip extensions, 1 queue, and ill make 10 sip trunks, and with 10 sip trunks i will connect to 10 sip extensions. From this 10 trunks, X percentage is ringing on 1 sip extension, and this extension goes to external callcenter. And the remains trunks goes to our queue of agents. Its working now, but only with two asterisk server, because i can not connect to localhost with sip trunks. And this is my second question, how can i connect to localhost sip extension (loopback connections with sip) I use asterisk with destar. Thanks for helping Andor You lost me with localhost. I have done something similar to what you are describing with fastagi that connected to a database and returned a queue (extension really) based an a large number of variables. You could use that same principle for your application. Setup a local queue on one extension and a dial on another extension. call comes in --- hits AGI -- AGI hits database which based on your metrics and chan variables returns an exten - resume dialplan at X extension. This way you keep most your logic outside of Asterisk itself which allows greater flexibility now and in the future. Maybe later you want to weight percentage based on a rolling conversion figure, time of day, language, DID, ANI, or whatever business logic makes more sense. It becomes much easier to test different strategies.

Re: [asterisk-biz] Open source Asterisk billing solution
Second that. From what I've seen of other billing systems they range from bad to truly horrible. A2billing is the only solution I've seen which gets even close to something I can depend on (or rather easily modify to my needs). Unfortunately, having said that, A2billing is very complicated and to fit my needs I will need to modify it heavily. For example its handling of DID's is so complicated that I will probably bypass it completely and write my own AGI to handle incoming calls. Same goes for voicemail support (or rather lack thereof in current stable version of A2Billing). Personally I believe that keeping the customer interface as stupidified as possible is the best way to go. Your users are not going to know what a DID or a CID group is - they just want a simple phone number that works. Unfortunately none of the open source projects out there is at a fit-for-the-masses level yet, at least not without doing massive amount of work to customize it. What I *did* like about A2Billing though is that it's written in PHP and easily modifiable. It provides a good base to build and customize on, and the rating engine seems to be doing its job reliably. (As far as Freeside goes- I have NOT tested it. But it appears like it's seriously lacking proper documentation, which is why I stayed away from it personally. It could be a great platform though - don't know.) -- Nitzan --- Jaswinder Singh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have had good success with setting up and using A2billing .
