[Asterisk-Users] Basic Asterisk capabilities question

[Gary Franczyk]

Hello, I am very new to Asterisk, so please forgive me for my basic
question.  I couldn't find a good answer to this on the info boards.  I'd
like to know if the following is possible and reasonable to accomplish:

I'd like to configure a voice recording system using Asterisk and a
Tormenta2 Quad T1 card.  A co-worker was able to create this system a while
back with Bayonne and a Dialogic card, but I would like to do the same thing
with much cheaper hardware.  I do not believe Bayonne supports the
Tormenta2. (I think it is also known as the Wildcard TE410P)

When the user dials in:
- He enters his user id
- he enters his password
- he begins his recording.
  -  while recording, he has the option to pause, continue, rewind by 4
seconds and review his recording,
  -  press a button to start another recording.
  -  press a button to recieve a recording ID number

In addition to this, I would like the user to be able to call in again later
and listen to his previous recordings by entering his recording id numbers.

So, Is this possible and resonable to accomplish with the Asterisk system?
Or is Asterisk more of an out-of-the-box PBX rather than a voice application
system?

Thanks

Gary F.
