Kevin, what you are asking is very possible with Asterisk, as it is a very
flexible system whose behaviour is basically dependant upon how you set up
the dialplan.

However, where my opinion would differ with Ben is that I would recommend
going with standard Asterisk on the distribution your are most comfortable
with administering. Trixbox is technically a fork of Asterisk with an
included GUI and is aimed at persons unfaimilar with the Linux CLI. It can
be a useful tool to learn off in some cases, but unfortunately it masks
a lot of the functionality of Asterisk and you will find very little
support for it from experienced Asterisk users and VoIP experts.

A good starting point for learning Asterisk is the O'Reily book "Asterisk:
The Future of Telephony" which is available for free download at:
http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=11

In the next one or two months I hope to give a presentation at SLUG on
Asterisk, so keep a look out for that.

If you have any troubles with your setup, #asterisk on Freenode IRC is
usually a fairly good resource.


Regards,

Jon

Hello Simon,

I'm curious as to why using desktops as telephones is "bad"?

I understand it is unnecesary complication for a lot of non-technical users.

But I find I prefer using a desktop with a headset especially for longer
phone calls, it is more comfortable than holding a phone to your head
for ages.

Jon

2. You can get up and walk over somewhere else in the office to do other stuff while talking (e.g. check something in a cabinet, make a cup of tea).3. You are not 100% bound to the computer in case you HAVE to take it down or it is otherwise not available while you want to make a call.
Personally - I shelled out 130AU$ for an ATA (A Sipura 3000, and I consider myself to be as cheap as you can find) just to be able to talk over an el-cheapo regular wireless phone using VoIP.Cheers,

Awesome. I wrote them a (hard copy) letter complaining about the Java
interface a few months ago. I just got a standard response, but maybe
it did end up helping them see the light.

I'll definitely consider an account with them now. I was tossing up
them and ING for an online saver a while back and it was the Java
interface that had the most impact on my decision.

What I'd like is a PCI card which acts as a DECT base station

I think you underestimate the amount of time a bank will spend 
developing something like this ;)  I bet they had other reasons for 
doing it.  Namely that the point of the old Java interface was no longer 
there.  Back when they started it, Javascript barely worked in any 
browser and cross-platform were really difficult and tedious.

Still, I'm a bit disappointed that they still don't support Firefox but 
support Nutscrape[1].  Does anyone even use Nutscrape 7.02 in the real 
world?[2]

Regardless, it works fine in Firefox.

I never had any issues with the java based one either, but then I followed the
advice at http://puzzling.org/computing/help/banking, which maintained the
current wisdom of java versions and magic URLs from the SLUG list.  Judging from
previous threads, the java version caused trouble for many people.

The new HTML based one seems to work just fine in epiphany (except when the
entire service is too busy or down for maintenance... I guess it's still a bit
new).  I'm happy with it.

A quick Google search has netter only a couple of results, and what I've
seen so far seem to be Windows only equipment.

I guess the only non-Windows option for now would be an FXS port plus
a DECT base station.

Penedo,

1. Well I believe the serious advantage there is ~$12 for a headset vs. over
$150 for an FXS port plus phone with headset.

2. This is true, but you still need to shell out for a cordless phone to
do this. You can also get bluetooth adapters for PCs which could perform
a similar function.

An ATA sounds like a good solution for what you need to do, some people
are too cheap even to spend that sort of money. :)

I personally think softphones come into their own for testing setups with
Asterisk and what not, as you can get them for quite a few different
VoIP protocols and are easy to reconfigure.

At the moment I just use a softphone for my home use, but I should be
getting some telephones in once I've configured up my new T1 PCI card
and channel bank.

That's not what they told me when I first started using the new HTML

they state that Firefox *is* supported, although only on Windows and

It does.  It doesn't work in Mozilla though.

Unlike the current Westpac version that attempts to get around
"keyloggers" by using an on-screen keyboard in alphabetical order, which
makes it obvious to anyone looking over your shoulder what your password
is. On top of this, only capital letters and numbers are actually
acceptable as password characters.

When setting up the log files for FuzzyOcr, what ownership/permissions
should I use for the log and hashdb files? I used 666 just to get it
going, but would like to tighten it up.

I presume the account that SpamAssassin runs under - how do I work out

Citibank (more commonly known as Shittybank in my household) UK also do 
this.  It's really dumb since the places you're most likely to get stung 
is Internet cafes and the like, where someone could look over your 
shoulder.  Surely most of the crapware out there that does keylogging 
can also quite happily screen capture too?

Not to mention that 6,000 pounds was transferred from my account to an 
account in Germany without my knowledge.  And given that my password is 
secure and I know my desktops are secure, it could only have happened 
because of a major break in their own security.  Not that this meant I 
didn't have to sit through a mind-numbing questionnaire (Do you have 
anti-virus software installed?) from their call centre monkeys.

It gets worse though.  Barclays (also UK) require you to enter a 
six-digit Internet-only PIN, a password and a memorable word.  So much 
information that you use rarely that you write it down.  Of course.  

I bet they have a lovely certificate from their security auditor though, 
and that makes it AOK with the suits.
