Signate offers an interesting product they call 'webcall', which basically contacts a client at a number they provide then connects that person to a sales staff. Some potential for abuse but a nice idea for support etc. I know that it is possible to do (obviously) and well documented but has anyone actually released an open product similar to signate's webcall or even a basic web initiated call interface (ie for calling cards). I wasn't able to track via google or the wiki any ongoing projects - is anyone interested in working on something like this? J
Hi All! I already have this as a 'product' developed by Nicolas Gudino of Flash Operator Panel especially for me as a fully functional system. You can see this at http://www.eezeephone.com under callback services. Though it may not be working now due to some misuse in the past. Unfortunately what I have is not open source and it uses PHP/Mysql/ASTCC as the backend combination and integrates all of them to be able to Allow calls of only Authenticated users in Astcc. If anyone is interested to improve the product further and relinquish their rights to such improvements, wite to me off the list. It is a very simple concept. Though what I have gotten developed comes with a wider list of options - different Sets of Authentication, Multiple Call Legs etc. 1)Use Asterisk Trivial Call Control Protocol 2)Take input from user for Source and Destinations 3)Take username and password for Authentication 4)Check if the Caller is in ASTCC database and he has balance 5)Create a Call file matching the source and destinations entered by the user in /tmp 6)Copy the call file to Asterisk Spool 7)Update the calltime in ASTCC (oops! I just gave away the design! Well, Asterisk and ASTCC is open source, what the heck!) Signate's version supports one call-leg between their extension and the user's number, using PHP for the interface and use their DID as the Called_From extension. They do not have a version that support two distant Legs and Signate's system does not have an ASTCC integrated CallingCard driven system, as I see it from the interface as it does not ask for any authentication Seshu Kanuri -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of VOIP Consultant Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 3:39 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] signate.com webcall There are a several people providing that service. The first time the user invokes the service (clicks on the web link), he will have to download the corresponding sip (or other) phone component. Here is where it gets difficult because it would have to be either a public domain component or a home made one. And also it has to be a pretty good short component so that it doesn't take more than 10 seconds to download. It is quite a cool concept, I implemented it with a h323 DLL a while ago, but the guys that worked it for me were concerned with the licensing issues. C.
