RE: [Asterisk-Users] Any interest in a Canadian Asterisk mailing list?

2005-01-17 Thread Gyrion, Larry M.
I'd be interested in a possible mailing list for a United States
Asterisk mailing list.  We are in the very beginning stages of building
a pilot system using Asterisk, but based on the information I've found
on the internet so far, it looks very promising to scale the system to
our needs. 
I'd be interested in know if anyone has successfully created a larger
system (at least 1000 to 1500 lines), and with a redundancy built in.  

Thank you,

Just on the off chance that Canadian Asterisk users might be
interested in a place to discuss topics specific to the great
white north (sources, services, telcos, etc.), I created
the asterisk-canada mailing list:

Wouldn't be best to consolidate all these list.  I've been on the list
less than a week and already have too much to read.

 I know as a Canadian I'm not interested in a list Just for Canadians
-- It's
 just fragmenting the help available for very little benefit.  I do,
however,
 appreciate the thought.

I'm a Canadian also, and I second that

Scratch this idea,  I just rather have one list, and maybe a website to
see all the list together where I can type in my question to find an
answer quickly (sort of like Dell's support center)

I believe the US and Canada use the same methods for voice services,
maybe we could make it a North America list serv instead.  Just some
thoughts here

I don't think the idea is to be just for Canadians, but more as a
forum for topics that relate to Asterisk in the Canadian environment. 

A very relevant example is the CRTCs deliberations on VoIP, which may
have huge repercussions to Canadian Asterisk users, but is hardly
relevant to the international version of the Asterisk-Users list. Bell
and TELUS bashing might also be popular topics :-)

I do agree that any subject that is not specific to the Canadian
experience should remain in the international list. We are an
international community; therein lies our power.

Anyhow, I signed up, and am planning to start a thread about the CRTC
VoIP deliberations (and the generous act performed there by Jeff
Pulver), something I wouldn't feel was appropriate on Asterisk-Users.
Time will tell how many topics there are to discuss.

The way I see it, a Canadian mailing list will be no different than our
country itself: visitors will always be welcome.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] simple over view of the process

I purchased a $299 kit from the VOIP Connection
http://www.thevoipconnection.com/store/catalog/product_16215_Asterisk_St
arter_Kit.html

It comes with a install CD, book about Astrerisk, a quad line card, and
a VoIP phone.  Seems like a reasonable price to pay to sample it.  I
will be installing it to a desktop computer and creating four analog
lines to use on the line card.  If all goes well we will then move to
build a Asterisk system to handle 1500 lines (including 650-700 of those
converted back to analog).  The cost of doing this is way less than
bringing in another Nortel , Cisco, or Avaya PBX.  Of course my concern
is to create a redundancy type system.  With Nortel I am use to their
failover system.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] simple over view of the process

Hello All,

Please forgive the lack of understanding as of yet but I have been
trying
to follow the mailing list messages over the last few days and would
like
to know if someone could wither point me into the right direction or
possibly give me a brief overview of the complete process.

Basically, I see that the Asterisk PBX systems can run on linux and
seems
to offer the engine base that is needed for the SIP clients to connect.

Additionally, it seems that the various hardware (of which I have no
idea)
if installed into the server will allow the SIP clients to communicate
with analog lines.

What inexpensive hardware is need to set up a basic system?

Thanks,
-Lonnie

Here in Brazil we are creating our language email list. For us it will be 
great because we have a lot of different terms, technologies of US and 
Canada, even Europe.

I think that for brazillians, the first place to solve a problem could be 
the brazillian list, after that a universal list(this asterisk-users list) 
could be the second choice.

The local lists will be a good point to share local expiriences. I dont 
think that Canada and US have a huge difference of telecom standards like 
Brazil and US...

 I see the value of regional lists primarily as relates to non-technical
 items such as local service providers, regulatory issues, and so forth.

 For the technical stuff, I much prefer the single list. I don't mind at
 all reading about POTS lines in the UK, or the joys of ISDN in the EU.
 Maybe one day the sheer volume of messages will make that untenable, but
 for now I love the international flavour of the list.

 As VoIP becomes ubiquitous, the value of regional lists might be less
 and less relevant.

 Jim.
