[asterisk-users] Jabber and Asterisk?

[Philippe Sultan]

Indeed, through the dialplan configuration, Asterisk allows you to
place calls from whatever channel type (SIP, H323, ISDN, ..) to
GoogleTalk clients.

The revert call configuration is trickier though, as the GoogleTalk
client user interface does not allow you to dial numbers over DTMF for
example. A possible workaround is to use the powerful 'Originate'
command available in Asterisk :

Also, BJ Weschke is currently working on linking XMPP (Jabber) with
AMI : http://www.asterisk.org/node/48440

Finally, the chan_jingle channel is available starting from Asterisk
1.6). Jingle is the set of XSF (XMPP Standards Foudation)
specifications that will provide Voice + Video over IP to XMPP. Jingle
is its final stage at XSF, see : http://blog.xmpp.org/?p=32.

There are not so many Jingle clients available around, so test reports
against Asterisk's Jingle interface are very welcome!
