asterisk users - Jan 2004 - [OT] Commercial conferencing solution?

This is not directly * related, but could be.  My company is
using a VoIP conferencing solution that is suffering from
developer neglect.

I've considered trying to leverage *, and our internal developers
can build the management interfaces.  If that plan is not accepted
by management, I need to find a commercial solution that works.

Requirements:
H.323 
SIP
G7.11/G7.29
Multiple unique conferences (conference ids & passwords)
enforcable limits per conference (max participants/time limits)
Single access number
Web managed to assign conferenc ids and passwords

The only short term issue I see with * for this is we are
standardized on platform where Digium cards are not an option, and 
ztdummy and zaprtc cannot be loaded (2.6 kernels).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan

Mark has taken a stab at fixing zaptel to be compatible with the 2.6 
kernel.  Why don't you test it to see if it works?  Then you can report 
your results back to the community.

You should have at least an X100P in any box you plan on doing 
conferencing on, just so you can ensure of a solid interrupt

The hardware drivers do seem to be migrating to 2.6.  On the
other hand ztdummy has seen no love in awhile.  For our environment
it is a better choice (limited slots, 3.3v instead of 5v, etc).

I'm no kernel programmer, but I've been working on at least clearing
the compile errors and loading of ztdummy.  

The warnings interrupts were easy enough.  The unknown symbols has been
a bit more baffling (usb-uhci must be a module, changes to usb-uhci?).

I'll likely build the solution either way for conferencing, but if the 
company wants a commercial solution, I need to find one that actually 
works.

Thanks for the feedback,
Dan
