[Asterisk-Users] Bayonne and Asterisk

[mattf]

I never used Bayonne as a PBX of any kind, only for IVR, that's what it was
designed for. You can put other packages with Bayonne to get it to work with
some VOIP protocols supposedly , but it would be much more work to do that
than to just set up Asterisk.

How about issues such as echo, voice quality, supported codec's?
does it work with SIP?

I used Bayonne for 2 years before switching to Asterisk. Right now I'm still
running Bayonne on one application and it's been running happily without me
looking at it for over 6 months. I'd say these are

the strengths of Bayonne:
- Runs on Dialogic, Pika and other widely available hardware
- extremely reliable, mine never crashes

and here are the weaknesses:
- nowhere near as active of a support community as Asterisk has
- configuration of the hardware/drivers is a nightmare compared to
Asterisk/Digium
- it is quite limited in it's included apps, IVR and voicemail
- not as many options for scripting as Asterisk
- it was not designed to have full PBX functionality, some PBX functionality
is added as afterthought
- the code/organization/flow is not as well thought out or documented as
Asterisk is

And yes, they can run fine together(I'm not using VOIP, just a T1 out of
Asterisk to Bayonne to test and see if it would work). The IVR application
that I currently still have running on Bayonne is only still on Bayonne
because it can never go down, and Bayonne has proven itself to me to be
extremely stable, while I cannot personally say AT THIS TIME that an
Asterisk box would stay up for over 6 months with no crashes.

At last check I was never able to get VOIP inbound working on Bayonne, maybe
this has changed in the last 6 months but if you do get it working I'd be
interested to find out how.

All,

is anyone using Bayonne in conjunction with Asterisk? I'm currently using
only Bayonne, but I'm investigating the possibilities of switching the
telephony frontend over to Asterisk, and have Asterisk route the IVR tasks
to Bayonne through H323.

Anyone care to share his views on this approach? Any pointers or do's  and
don'ts? All info is greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Dirk-Jan
