Virtual Private Asterisk

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-who-do-you-call dept.

Beave writes "These guys have posted an interesting article on using Virtual Private Servers to secure and even run multiple instances of Asterisk on one machine. The article has in depth instructions on how to get such a beast up and running using hardware or emulated hardware (ztdummy driver). It's like running a small telco in a box!"

  1. The Telephreak Project is Awesome by dshaw858 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have to say, I've used a Telephreak.org voice mailbox for about a year now. It's a lifesaver. The guys over there have an awesome way of doing things. I've met the crew online (irc.telephreak.org), and (as you may or may not be able to tell), they're pretty awesome. I'm a huge Telephreak fan. Glad to hear they're up to more cool stuff :)

    Is it too hard to use the acronym PBX in the slashdot story? I'm tired of stories where either you have to visit the links, or already have an interest in the item in question (at which point, by the time it gets to Slashdot you've probably heard of the news item already.)

    There are any number of SIP softphones, but I recommend using a softphone using asterisk's native IAX protocol. Check out the iaxcomm softphone for win32, linux and OSX: iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm/index.html
