<br><br>I want to use asterisk to make a system that does pure outbound calls<br>and plays a message upon a live answer or answering machine. Basically<br>it needs to make several calls at once. This is non-profit and is to
<br>help out a question we have on the local ballot. I am good with<br>python/php/mysql, and freebsd server administration. I am alright in<br>linux. I want to do this myself or at most with a couple of friends. I<br>
am rusty with C/C++ (haven't done any since college).<br><br>What's the most cost effective way to get this done? I want to do it<br>myself and am up to the task. I just need to be pointed in the right<br>direction.<br>
<br>What are your recommendations as to how to proceed? Should I go all<br>Vo-ip and just connect the server running asterisk to a dsl line?<br>Should I get some digium/zaptel hardware and connect to a T-1 line<br>?(about 250-350$ a month down here, which is acceptible). My Budget is
<br>up to a grand or so a month. The less the better. My main concern is<br>cost per call, not just fixed monthly rates. The calls will all be going<br>to local PSTN numbers.<br><br>Am I looking at making some AGI program in python that draws from a
<br>mysql database of numbers and dials out/leaves the message? Is it even<br>possible in asterisk to make multiple outbound calls at the same time in<br>such a way?<br><br>Any recommendations/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for
<br>your time. Now I'll go back to reading. :-)<br>_______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by <a href="http://Easynews.com">Easynews.com</a> --<br><br>asterisk-users mailing list
