Somebody mentioned PSTN-based conference calls and the monetary cost usually involved, so how about doing some H.323 audio conferencing (and video, if so inclined)? We have everything we need in the ports collection: ports/net/ohphone ports/net/openh323 ports/net/openh323proxy ports/net/opengatekeeper ports/net/openmcu Any application supporing the G.711 or GSM audio codecs with H.323 should work with these, and GSM is sufficient for even the most anemic internet connections (at least 19.2kbps). It should even be possible to connect one or more endpoints in the conference over regular PSTN for those who can't do H.323 for some reason. All it would take is someone with decent bandwidth and CPU to host the MCU. I would be glad to try and set that up on one of my fast boxes sitting on our T1 at work, though I have no way to make any PSTN connections at this time for those who are H.323-impaired. It is possible that within the next year that could be done as we plan on replacing our current phone systems with a VoIP system. Are at least a few of the developers interested in using this ability to do multipoint H.323 conferencing (obviously not required for only two people) if I set it up? If somebody already has an MCU set up that they're willing to donate then I'll defer, but I've been needing to set up an MCU for a while anyway. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
