I haven't noticed a problem with doing transfers on this phone. I will have to
try it again to double check. Are you sure you have your dtmf settings correct?

As far as ring tones go, it is just not on my radar screen as compared to trying
to save my district $10,000-$20,000 per year. The fact that this phone supports
vibrate ring and progresive volume increase was impressive to me for a rev 1 model.

 ringtones blows donkeys too.
 
 Can anyone explain why the hell it seems impossible to find a VOIP phone

[Asterisk-Users] Schools/Districts using asterisk?

2004-03-18 Thread Chris Hobbs
I'm investigating asterisk to use as a replacement for an aging Lucent 
PBX in our district office, as well as replacing the Centrex/intercom 
based systems at our schools.

I'm curious if any other schools/districts are using asterisk? If so, 
I'd certainly be interested in talking about your setup.

Thanks,

We are using Asterisk in K12 with similar goals. We have pretty much decided to
go with it district wide. It will be a 200-400 phone installation across 9
sites. We also looking at eliminating a Centrex system (called Plexar in our
area). Current status is that I have patched the * in front of our existing
legacy system. This allowed testing of new phones while be got comfortable with
* being stable, etc. Now I am just shopping for phones before we pull out the
legacy system and start the process of moving schools off of the Centrax contract.

Something you should look at in a school setting is the Wisip wireless 802.11b
phone from Pulver. We are looking at this to help reduce cellular costs and also
as a possible teacher phone.

Chris,

We're in the process (final phase to be completed in the next two weeks)
of replacing our ATT/Lucent/Avaya solution at our high school.  Over the
summer, we hope to integrate/replace the PA/intercom system (Teltrend IV)
to extend asterisk dialtone to the classrooms.

Contact me off list and I'd be more than happy to talk with you about our
progress, plans, and experiences.

Steve

Chris,

I read your message below, posted to the Asterisk-Users board.  I don't 
represent or currently have a customer with an asterisk installation in a 
school district environment, but if you have any questions, I'd be happy to 
chat with you.  I'm a network and asterisk private consultant.  I've been 
developing asterisk based phone installations for 2 years.  However any 
chat time is free as the information you provide me as to your needs and 
requirements outweighs any information I might share with you during the 
call.

In the end if I am of any help and you look to get outside help for an 
installation should you choose to do one, I'd appreciate letting me bid on 
the project, but besides that, no strings attached to our conversations

Thank you,

Ack, sorry for the reply to the message board on my last reply to this 
topic, I forgot to replace the To: person.

Thanks for the replies in advance telling me that that wasn't on topic, I 
consider myself in error, and offer the appropriate apology.
