Re: [misterhouse-users] Asterisk voicemail from the ia5 web interface

[Paul E. <pa...@yo...>]

Mostly to play with. :) I work in tele and data comms, so it's nice to be able
to muck with voice protocols at home.

The other advantage I've found is VoicePulse, which has a no-commitment service
where you can use asterisk to make calls to the PSTN using VOIP. I route all of
my long distance calls over it, as well as use it for a second line. The fact
that it's no commitment, there's no first-minute connect fee, no monthly fee,
and it's partial minute billing makes it fairly cheap for the little bit of
long distance that I do. I'm almost committed enough to see if I can get ride
of long distance all together on my landline and save the monthly fees I'm
paying. Sorry for the plug.

I get to log ingoing AND outgoing calls.

I can route incoming PSTN calls to my laptop if I'm connected to my VPN from
somewhere else in the world. I could also make outgoing calls from my home
phone over VOIP from my laptop.

I can use my main line as a FAX line, and also have PPP/terminal dialin
ability.

I can give different callers different outgoing messages depending on callerID.

I can dial in and use touch tone to send stuff to Mister House, and read
responses back using Festival.

I can blacklist callerID's so that I never even hear the phone ring.

I definitely see some more MH integration in the future.... I have visions of
things so grand, that I'll never use them. :)
