Virtualization and Asterisk
I’ve not been posting for awhile, due to some intense configuration of a new server with Xen, and also installing Asterisk on an existing server. My intentions are to lower my fixed hosting and telephone costs by using virtualized servers, and by using Asterisk for an interactive IVR to help route support and sales calls to my business.
I was able to find a very inexpensive SIP provider, Unlimitednet.US. They provide local and toll-free inbound DIDs and outbound trunks for very low prices and per-minute rates. Because of the low call volume I receive, this should allow me to have a professional sounding phone system for very little money.
One helpful hint I can give is I had some difficulty installing CentOS 5 on a Debian Lenny host Xen system. I have details on how to make the install go smoothly.
I’ll have more to say later, once I get back to a normal schedule.
