Asterisk is nearing completion
I spent a few more hours hacking away at my Asterisk configuration, and it’s now essentially complete.
These are done:
- When the POTS line is busy, incoming calls should be forwarded to the 800 number.
- When the POTS line is busy, outgoing calls should go out via NuFone.
- Incoming calls that go to voicemail should have the option to leave messages specifically for various members of the household.
- There should also be a way to check messages over the phone from outside.
- Asterisk can tell when it answers a fax call; faxes from outside should be shunted to its fax-handling code.
- Asterisk’s fax code needs to email faxes when it receives them.
- International calling currently goes out via POTS, when NuFone is less then half the cost.
- RSS for voicemail and call log.
- vCard to Asterix caller-ID database mapping.
Here’s what’s left on the wishlist:
- Tune WonderShaper to give VoIP packets priority on my DSL line.
- Print-to-fax.
I’ll post config snippets and scripts as time permits, so others can duplicate what I have without spending an entire weekend at it.
