[Asterisk-Users] preplanning for a new home installation

[Paul Crick]

What you want sounds pretty doable, with the exception of distinctive
ringing detection - reading the list recently I think someone had a patch to
allow caller ID to be received if the incoming call was a distinctive
ringing call but I don't think Asterisk differentiates or distinguishes
between different inbound ringing cadences.

Caller ID matching does work though (the anti-ex-girlfriend feature!) so you
can make different things happen when certain people call  you.

Not sure about your video conferencing stuff - it's more an IP/routing thing
than an asterisk thing.. and I wonder about VoIP over VPN - it should be ok
I think cos it's all handled by your router so invisible to your Linux box?

I notice you're in 604 land - me too.. Give me a shout off-list if you want
to talk further.

Cheers
Paul
