I am also interested in similar application for multiple small cybercafe
clients. Application is to be as follows:

A.
1. Direct VoIP dialling from Kiosks at Client premisis. Upon call
completion, a small invoice be printed.
2. Call details are recorded in the database.

B.
1. Our clients would provide a few incoming PSTN lines.
2. Customers will call-in and get a voice-prompt from the system.
3. Customer tone dials a n-digit pin number...caller-id of customer is
also verified, whenever available.
4. Customer is given dialtone/prompt for dialling the overseas VoIP
address or overseas PSTN number.
5. Upon call completion call details are recorded in the database & a
payment invoice generated/printed. System may be post-paid with cieling
or pre-paid.

System is to be built on an Intel platform, with Linux as OS. Any other
software to be used in addition to Astrisk is to be free libre/open
source.

We are also interested in Commercial Tie-up with a VoIP to PSTN provider
with very competitive international rates and all our clients (numbers
will grow slowly, but steadily) under our plan.

With best regards.
Sanjay.
