[Asterisk-Users] RE: [E164-discuss] RE: E164 updater Client
Duane is working on this, there are some problems with asterisk at the moment in delivering this back to the 'caller' and the status ap is the first step in delivering this awareness information. Does anyone want to help duane and matthew write this as they both have like a million things going on at the moment between them. I noticed www.no-ip.com have a dns updater, so something built like this would be great.

I too see the potential for an ENUM client, but I see more benefit for it on the 'calling' side rather than the 'called' side. Consider that an ENUM lookup can return any number of different data fields, like for instance; PSTN # Mobile # E-mail address IM # Which can be ordered or omitted by time of day and other criteria. Every contact method can be presented to the Caller, from which the Caller can decide which to use depending upon what methods are supported by their device and the like. This data comes down as text, like the result of a 'dig.' It would be extremely useful to have an application like Nat Friedman's "Dashboard" (http://nat.org/dashboard/) (screenshot: http://nat.org/dashboard/rewrite.png) display this data in a useful manner. In fact, an ENUM backend for Dashboard would be A Good Thing. Note that this sort of functionality wouldn't preclude the use or usefulness of your Status Ap, but it would move the onus from the Called party (and the DNS servers) onto the Caller. -Simon. _______________________________________________ E164-discuss mailing list E164-discuss@freenetworks.org http://shoveler.ipl31.net/mailman/listinfo/e164-discuss
