[Asterisk-Users] Zork and Asterisk

Let me preface this idea with one comment: I don't have the time to 
do this - I don't even have time to eat these days.  But someone out 
there has the cycles to do this... and it would be very cool.

OK, so now Zork is attached to Asterisk, but using the 
less-than-clear Festival engine.  There are beta tests of the 
LumenVox speech recognition engine out there which tie directly into 
Asterisk.  Allison Smith (the voice of Asterisk) would almost 
CERTAINLY do a great dramatic reading of all of the text blocks 
within Zork.  I see an excellent opportunity for a demo server on 
some CLEC who would love to get some $ by opening up a few DIDs to a 
huge recip comp traffic load.  Even if it's just available via IAX2 
or SIP, this would be one of those "legends of the Net" in the next 
few years...
