VoIP Proxy/Gateway ?

Hi all, i just wanna know if there is eny software that will enable my gentoo linux server in becomming a proxy for VoIP phone call from users someting like: www.zipphone.com , or Free World Dialup http://www.pulver.com/fwd/ it could be nice so i will get smaller lagency in my calls to frinds and so on.

All help would be nice, iam using the analog-to-ip-telephone converter.

It works like a charm, with my Siemens Gigaset 4010 Micro basestation.

Check out asterisk. It is an open source pbx. there is an ebuild for it.

Make sure you use the cvs version too instead of the portage one.

I have written updated ebuilds for asterisk, festival and mbrola. If you want to use them i can hand 'em but they aren't polished down as of yet. I was looking for sbdy. to help on that a while ago but got no response...
In any case, what i'm missing myself in the set is a real proxy i could use on the firewall. Anybody there who would be able to give s an ebuild for such ?

I need some good how-to's !

To get me going!

I found this instalation guide.

My ebuilds do the installation all right, but they don't e.g. correct the paths in config fles from what they become installing into the temporary buildroot. So they play nice with portage (giving it control over the files) but you're left for a couple config updates
In any case... you're concerned about <installation> or <configuration> ?
Will give you some links then in the evening.... GMT

Okay i'll look out for your ebuilds.

Iam curretlig waiting for my post packege from France, 4 pices of the 286-adaptor.

Im having big probloms setting up the configs, i think ther manual for Asterisk is no good.

So if eny of u are running it, please help me out here.

I want is so on my lan, people can talk together but will also want to recieve calls from others using FWD so if a user rings my number on FWD i will recieve the call.

First of iam only lookking for a guide to set up 1 phone, and to recieve call from the internet over FWD, and a holding function.

If this works, the firm that i work in, whats me to set it up for 50 + people

Best regards

Hi There, nearly forgot this thread ...
better late than never...

Here is the page i think is best on the topic. In the servers section, there is a pointer to their asterisk stuff.

http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php

One easy primer is to understand, that "extension" in asterisk is not the phone. Extension is a logical calling target that +may+ lead to a phone, The phone as such, in he case its a sip one, which is recommended, youll have to define in the sip.conf.

The asterisk ebuild update is trivial. The reason i mentionned festival and mbrola is, cause with these you can interface them with asterisk for text to speech functionality on the phone.
Heres the sterisk one. Put it under /usr/local/portage/net-misc/asterisk

In case you want festival for speech, too let me know. The ebuild is bigger and needs some patches in the files directory. Ißll have to provide that a different way. mbrola you would probably only want with more and better voices, e.g. i added a fairly good quality german voice into the build.
