[Asterisk-Dev] Implementing Community voice mail using Asterisk

[Brian C. Fertig]

I don't consider myself an expert but I do know my stuff.   Here is the
breakdown for what you are asking, because EVERYONE has been in your
shoes at one point in time.

1.  If your looking for testing..  Anything.  I run my home PBX on a
Pent400 I think it is with 256MB ram.  Nothing more or less just does
its job.  

2. Yes.  You can purchase VOIP origination/termination from many
companies.  I personally use VoipJet for outbound and VoicePulse for
inbound DID's.
How are you planning to interact with *?   Softphone?

3. Depends on your coding preference.  Personally I like php cause I can
do all kinds of crazy things with it.  But you can use ANY script or
compiled code with asterisk.  
Use this URL this is where I started.

Subject: [Asterisk-Dev] Implementing Community voice mail using Asterisk

hi all
I am a student and want to develop a "community voice mail" service
using
Asterisk PBX. The Community voicemail may be understood as telephony
counterpart of normal email and is widely available in US for quite some
time.

I want to develop a scaleable application, in which users should be able
to send and receive messages through PSTN,PBX,IP telephony and email.
I have read some documents regarding Asterisk but i am not getting a
hang
on the following questions:
1. what should be a 'good'(read least cost) hardware configuration for
the
development of the application and its deployment later on.
2. Can I start out without having any Digium hardware at all?
3. What is the URL of if Some kind of introduction to coding an
application for asterisk exists?

I understand that there are quite a lot of experts on this mailing list
and such types of question may sound too simple for them to answer.But
the
answer to these questions mean a lot to me.
I will be very thnakful if any generous soul answers these questions.A
lot
of  newcomers might be having the same questions.
thanks
arun
