I just talked with a friend that is a computer teacher at the local collage. He heard about my experiments with asterisk and some grandstream phones, and he wants to get a small setup going as a class project, which will hopefully expand to cover the whole building. Right now if a teacher needs to call, he needs to go to the "teachers lounge" and use the phone in there. Also, each room does not have a phone, which is getting very old (if the teacher needs to talk to another teacher, they have to actully walk to the other classroom). They also have many campuses scattered through out the state, and each has a direct T1 to each one, which would allow expansion to make campus to campus calls for free, without using up long distance lines. I was wondering if anyone has ever setup something like this, maybe with it starting out very small, (soft ip phones in the classroom to play around with *), and gradually growing into something larger. This would be good intro into linux, and would also benefit the campus. Any thoughts on this idea and tips would be appreciated. Doug
