Phone to VOIP |
|
|
Hi all
I am an awful story teller so I'll get right to the point.
If someone calls on a specific number, and is for a specific problem,
the Secretary, after answering can divert the call to someone else,
but the tricky part is to use a "Voice over IP" for inside company,
but Incoming call will be from a regular Phone.
I was thinking on using Skype for inside (with USB Phones), combined
maybe with some kind of "Phone Answering Software", but don't now how
that can be connected to something like a Skype, or even if this is
possible.
What can I use ? Besides "SkaypeIn" if possible.
To make it shorter, how can a VOIP application can be "combined" with
regular phone line.
Thanks |

Skype appears to use proprietary VoIP protocol. How do you terminate this
call in Asterisk then?

How do you suggest configuring Asterisk to handle Skype calls?

(Note that I'm not suggesting it makes any sense at all for someone
smart enough to use Asterisk to try to weld Skype onto it. I just
think it's misleading to claim Asterisk already handles it.)

You¡¦re absolutely right; you will not do it if Skype is your application of
choice. But again, your question was: ¡V in your words ¡V ¡§how can VoIP
application be "combined" with a regular phone line¡¨.
Asterisk is definitely an answer to your question. There are many free
VoIP applications on the market to choose from (btw, I don¡¦t think Skype is
the best one; also you can not use any hardware IP phones with it). |

I don't believe he was suggesting Skype's involvement. Neither was the
question the way I read it.

Thanks guys, you really got me thinking more deeply on the situation.
And to clarify the situation, I mentioned Skype first like my starting
point, not a must. I heard about this "Asterisk", and I'm starting
learning about him right now. Maybe it can fix my problem. The fact is
that I was interested an using also a Palm on the Internal network,
and 2 of my teem mates are in other country, with make me thing
integrating with Skype could be a start.
Lets se what "Asterisk" can do for me.
Thanks all for help. |

You're right. I was confused. The (bottom-quoted...) message to which
he replied made that clear. Unfortunately I didn't go that far and
instead confused it with this thread.
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=1098298962.hu8DpCUzCH%2BulUsSo/xhCg%40bubbanews
Thanks for catching it and correcting me.
And yes, Asterisk is the answer.

Stop thinking that!

Be sure to ask here if you run into anything that makes you think
Asterisk can *not* handle what Skype can.
http://www.voipdaily.com/archives/2004/03/why_skype_is_no.php
As long as we're into peer-to-peer things...also note that Asterisk
now supports DUNDI
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=DUNDi
in addition to ENUM.
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+and+multiple+ENUM+entries
This is unnecessary for handling two teammates but it could come in
handy with larger groups.
