Asterisk on OpenWRT part 2 March 10. 2005
There has been a lot of interest in the geek-world about being able to have a complete telco (more than just a PBX) system on hardware that costs less than $80US. In that vein, it seems like Saint Joseph's College is the heart-beat of that movement and my blog which outlines a simplified how-to install the bugger is getting a lot of attention out in the blogosphere. Because of this (and some question I have received) I thought I would put together a more formal and informed "howto" for installing Asterisk on a Linksys WRT GS box (I think it works for the G but I don't have one to test).
This is the wiki entry for Asterisk on OpenWRT.
Hopefully with this entry, I will be able to describe how to setup (in more detail than last time) a linksys wrt-gs router to run the openWRT firmware and install Asterisk to allow you to have a SIP phone and an outbound carrier. To accomplish this you will need to following things available to you:
Now that you have all that let's get started.
Step 1:
The first thing you will need to do is install the openWRT firmware onto the Linksys router. This is a fairly simple process and is describe in great detail on the openWRT website. Because it is so well documented their, I won't take the time to repeat the content here. Some thing you should be wary of when you do attempt the firmware install for the first time (I just say this because it catches me almost every time I try to do a fresh firmware install) is that you definitely need an IP address on the WAN port of the router before things will start working right. Once you have the firmware installed you can telnet into the openWRT box. Before we start with any actual Asterisk stuff you will most likely want to secure your box. If you have your WAN port "plugged into the Internet," you can download and install the sshd (dropbear).
Test to see that you have ssh access to the machine then disable the telnet access by removing the telnet daemon startup script.
If you want ssh access to be available from your WAN port (from the Internet) you will either need to remove the firewall (not recommended but it's what Brian Capouch does) or alter the firewall to allow for this type of connection. In the /etc/init.d/S45firewall file all you need to do is add the line "$IPT -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" after the rule for icmp traffic. I like to install other packages (ntpclient, crond) but they are not necessary. You can look at what is available with the ipkg tool and see if you need anything. Be mindful of your disk space. Asterisk is going to take up a lot of space.
Step 2:
At this point you should have a working openWRT box with a (working) connection to the Internet. The next step is to prepare to install Asterisk and actually do the install. Fortunately, there are a lot of geeky people working on getting Asterisk and openWRT working and they have made this process as easy as using the ipkg tool to install the software.
The first thing that needs to be done is to change the /etc/ipkg.conf file to point at the sites that have the Asterisk packages available.
src openwrt http://openwrt.org/ipkg
src acvs http://12.176.248.4/ipkg
src nico http://nthill.free.fr/openwrt/ipkg/stable
src nico-t http://nthill.free.fr/openwrt/ipkg/testing
src ab0oo http://www.wildcatwireless.net/wrt54g
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
The first line is where all the standard packages are located. The second line (site acvs) is where you can get the asterisk-cvs package. This package is maintained by Brian Capouch and is updated frequently. Sometimes the cvs packages are unstable but if they are Capouch usually has the it fixed right away because he uses them in his own WRT boxes. He has been doing a lot of testing on the jitter buffer as well as the database backend for Asterisk-cvs. I'm using the cvs and have no problems. The other sites are where you can pick up the "stable" version of Asterisk as well as other packages.
You will need to update the ipkg local listings before you can install asterisk-cvs.
The Asterisk install will install other packages that it depends on and may take some time. You might also have problems getting the list of packages from nthill.free.fr, just keep trying until their name resolution works.
Once you have Asterisk installed you need to make a few changes to the configuration to allow the software to run on the openWRT box. Basically, what you will be doing is "slimming" the modules that are loaded for Asterisk. The file that allows you to do this is located at /etc/asterisk/modules.conf. There are a number of combinations that will work on the Linksys router but I've tried to make the running software as slim as I can get it without loosing too much functionality. Here is what my config looks like sans-comments.
[modules]
autoload=yes
noload => pbx_gtkconsole.so
;load => pbx_gtkconsole.so
noload => pbx_kdeconsole.so
noload => pbx_dundi.so
noload => app_intercom.so
; load => chan_modem.so
noload => res_musiconhold.so
noload => chan_modem.so
noload => cdr_pgsql.so
noload => cdr_mysql.so
noload => chan_alsa.so
;noload => chan_oss.so
[global]
; chan_modem.so=yes
Now that you have Asterisk slimmed down you can start up the server. Simply type 'asterisk' on the command line and if all has gone well you will be running Asterisk on an openWRT. You can check the status of your Asterisk software by using the Command Line Interface (CLI). To enter the CLI you just type 'asterisk -r' on the command line. You can change the verboseness of the interface by changing options within the CLI.
It will help you tremendously to learn the syntax for the CLI.
Step 3:
Now, that you have Asterisk up and running (reliably) you will most likely want to connect VoIP equipment to it. To accomplish this you will want to become familiar with the syntax of sip.conf, iax.conf and extensions.conf. In this step I'll talk about connecting a SIP phone.
I'm currently using an Cisco ATA 186 as my SIP phone interface and so that is what I will show how to connect. The process should be similar for most other SIP phones and is really not all that difficult.
I like to have the Asterisk server setup and ready before I configure the phone itself but from my work with the ATA 186 it doesn't matter which one is setup first just as long as they know about each other at some point. To configure Asterisk to recognize your SIP phone you need to edit the /etc/asterisk/sip.conf file. There are a lot of options in the sip.conf and you should look at them and see if you need to change anything (like the bind interface ip address) all in all, though, the defaults should work. I add my phones at the end if the file just so they are out of the way. To setup a SIP phone you need to add a "preamble" that contains your phone description and configuration options. Here is what my phone section of the sip.conf file:
[daveata186]
; Cisco ATA 186 - Living Room
type=friend
context=home
host=dynamic
user=your_username
secret=your_secret_password
canreinvite=no
callerid=David DeLauro<219-866-XXXX>
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
The first line separates one configuration section from another. I like to add a comment letting me know what kind of phone this configuration is for as well as where I can find the phone. The "type" line identifies what type of relationship the phone will have to your Asterisk server. 'friend' basically means the relationship will be bi-directional. The "context" is where "phone stuff" will be sent when Asterisk looks in its extensions.conf file for dialplans. The "host" is the IP address of the phone. Because I have DHCP running and the IP address of the phone is potentially dynamic I let Asterisk know it should use the IP address that the phone itself registers with. The "user" and "secret" are the credentials that you will use between the phone and Asterisk. The user entry needs to be the same as what you have setup as the preamble (what's between the []). It just makes things 1000 times easier if they are exactly the same. When you setup the phone you will want to make sure these options match otherwise your phone won't have access to the Asterisk server and vise-versa. The "callerid" is self-explanatory. The "disallow" and "allow" lines have to do with the type of codec the communication paths will use between the phone and the Asterisk server. Codec are one of the points that problems can occur with Asterisk and cause poor call quality. So, setting the right codec (especially on these low cpu power machines) is crucial. I have found that 'ulaw' between the phone and the Asterisk server works best (given they are on the same LAN) and for the openWRT installs 'gsm' works best for calls that leave the LAN and go over the Internet. The WRTs to well transcoding (once) between these two codec. With the two last lines you are preventing Asterisk from talking to the phone with any other codec than 'ulaw'
The next thing you need to do is let asterisk know about the changes you have made in the sip.conf file. You can do this by using the CLI again and giving it the command "reload" This will force asterisk to re-read it's configuration files. Now you can configure your SIP phone to talk to the Asterisk server. The configuration for the Cisco phone was fairly simple. There was a webpage where I could enter in all the options I needed to get it talking to Asterisk. For whatever phone you have you will most likely need the username and password you setup in the SIP configuration and the IP address (192.168.1.1 by default) you setup for the Asterisk server. Once the phone reboots it should register itself with the Asterisk server. I believe you ca watch the registration process from the CLI if you have the 'debug' and 'verbose' options set high but I've never done it. I usually check to see if it's working by picking up the phone and seeing if there is a dial-tone.
Step 4:
Now that you have your phone talking to Asterisk you need to setup and outbound phone call carrier. There are may different places that offer this service but for simplicity my example will be of a connection to NuFone. With most of the companies out there they will be using a different protocol than what your phone uses. This protocol, IAX, is configured on the Asterisk server in the /etc/asterisk/iax.conf file. The configuration file is very similar to the sip.conf file and should be no problem to configure by now. After you have registered with a carrier and received a username and password you can get started configuring Asterisk to allow for that connection. Here is what my iax.conf entry looks like:
[NuFone]
type=peer
user=your username
host=switch-1.nufone.net
secret=your password
disallow=all
allow=gsm
;allow=ulaw
callerid="David DeLauro"<219866XXXX>
You can see that the format is very similar to what you setup in the sip.conf file. The only things that really have changed are the "host" entry which is the IP address of the carrier's server and the "type." A type "peer" indicates that your Asterisk server will be contacting their server but not vice-verca. You will also notice that instead of 'ulaw' as the codec, I'm using 'gsm.' Now all you have to do is "reload" your Asterisk server from the CLI and you will have made two connections for your Asterisk server to use.
Step 5:
You may be asking, "But how do I use them?" Good question! This is where the magic of Asterisk starts to happen and where the learning curve starts to get a little steeper but this is where you will have to most phun with your fone! It is the /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf file. This is where you tie all of the channels you have just created together to do "cool stuff"(tm) for you. I'm only going to show you some simple examples of things you can do but there is so much more. Here is a section of my extensions.conf file that allows you to make a call from the SIP phone you have setup to the IAX channel (the NuFone example) you have available.
[nufoneout]
exten => _9XXXXXXXXXX,1,StripMSD,1
exten => _N.,2,SetCallerID(David DeLauro<(219) 866-XXXX>)
exten => _N.,3,Prefix,1
exten => _1N.,4,Dial(IAX2/NuFone/${EXTEN})
[home]
exten => _9XXXXXXXXXX,1,Goto(nufoneout|BYEXTENSION|1)
What happens when you make a call from your SIP phone is as follows:
- "Call" enters the [home] context.
- The pattern _9XXXXXXXXXX is matched and is sent to the [nufoneout] context
- The number is matched again and one number (9 in this case) is removed.
- The callerid is reset
- A "1" is appended to the dial string.
- The number is dialed (sent) to the [NuFone] server.
This is just a simple example of what you can do to make a call using your IAX channels. You could set the configuration up so that when you dial the phone instead of dialing a 9 you dial a 1 and it would seem as if you were using a real telco phone. Another possibility is to have multiple companies and based on the prefixed number you could use a different company to place your outbound calls. There are countless combinations
Once you have finished playing in extensions.conf you will need to let Asterisk know about the configuration changes but instead of having Asterisk reload all of it's configurations you can tell Asterisk to only reload the extensions.conf file. In the CLI give the command "extensions reload". If you have the debug/verbose turned up you will see all of your new extensions put into place. After you have reloaded your extensions configuration keep the CLI open in a window, pick up the phone and try and dial you local physical telco line. It's always a trip having two phones in your ear and talking to yourself
.You now have a working outbound Asterisk server. Setting up inbound calling is just as simple. You'll need to add a "register" line to your iax.conf file to announce to your inbound VoIP carrier where you are on the internet as well as setup a preamble for the incoming relationship type ("type=user"). You will also need to setup a new extension for your SIP phone. All of which would be easy now that you have setup the outgoing connections.

I have a WRT54 GS 1.1, running the experimental build openwrt (13th March, 2.4.29 Kernel) but on this version of openwrt, Asterisk's SIP interface fails to initialise :o(, stating IP address cannot obtained. Also, to get Asterisk-cvs running from Brian Capouch's packages you need the postgress libraries installed as Brian uses Postgress as the database for the call accouting system. If anyone has solution to the SIP problem, please let me know :o)
You have to have the hostname/IP of the WRT in /etc/hosts if you intend to use SIP. That has been true for some time.
The res_config_pgsql.so module requires the Postgres library, indeed, but if you specify that it not be loaded in modules.conf, it will run even without them.

I sort of cheated with my sip issue with asterisk on openwrt. Rather than binding to all interfaces bind = 0.0.0.0, specifing the internal IP brought up the interface. As you suggested, IP address etc. were in the /etc/hosts file. However thanks for the postgress module tip. Searched for it but obviously like the SIP problem, missed it due to lack of sleep

First off, is there a better forum for communicating issues? Is there an existing forum that Asterisk OpenWrt users are already using?
Second, THANKS! I'm still impressed that I can run asterisk on this hardware. Thanks for all of the hard work making this a reality.
Third, has anyone seen any segmentation faults with this package? I'm running package 1.0.5-1 and am getting segfaults whenever * tries to native bridge two sip calls. Has anyone experience this, or know a way around it?

I wish I had more time to devote to this and be more helpful. Perhaps someone at some point will start an actual forum for the WRTs and we can collect things there . . . in the meantime, this is what we've got, I'm afraid.
Nicolas Hill maintains the stable packages; I only do CVS-HEAD. Because it's CVS, sometimes it isn't as stable as people would like. But this is where things are happening, and where all the really nifty features of Asterisk are to be found.
I have two SIP phones, running CVS head in file .26 on my server, and the SIP stuff works perfectly.
I just built a new version a few minutes ago which I am now testing. It includes the res_config.mysql.so module, so that people can use that DB as their backend with the realtime engine.
This version also has the new jitterbuffer, which for me greatly increases sound quality in lossy environments.
I'll be moving over the current CVS build, into file .28, tomorrow.

Someone has tried G729 in asterisk into a WRT54G?
I have purchase licences for G729 but wonder if I can place it into WRT.

In an effort to lend what little I can to the conversation, I have phpBB set up on my site and just created a forum for OpenWRT, so if people want to discuss it there they are more than welcome.
Here is a link to the forum directly http://www.mcnelis.biz/talk/viewforum.php?f=13, or you can find it by going to http://talk.mcnelis.biz.

Do you even have an openWRT with asterisk box?
peace brother!

Anyone have any ideas on getting asterisk to email voicemail from the wrt54g? the setup in asterisk isn't bad, but i am having trouble finding and setting up sendmail...
There is a thread on the openWRT forum about using a "tiny" version of sendmail that you can get as an ipk and install on the WRT. Then you can just email out all of the voicemails instead of worrying about storage problems.
You can also get the NFS ipk and mount an NFS drive on the WRT for voicemail.
Orrrrr, a third option is to move the vm stuff onto ramdisk (/var on the standard openWRT distro) each time it boots, and then periodically watch the size or move the older messages onto archives, etc.

Does anyone have a solution for this:
asterisk: can't load library 'libpthread.so.0'
Thanks,
Joe
asterisk: can't load library 'libpthread.so.0'
Thanks,

ipkg install libpthread
I had the same problem and it worked for me.
I had the same problem and it worked for me.
Is there anyone out there want to sale me a WRT moded for SD card and install with Asterisk@home on it? Has to be fully working Asterisk@home and SD card as hard drive for program as well as voicemail storage...
how much are you williing to pay? contact me at rickyjibbons at yahoo dot com
not enough space ??
what can I do in this case ?
thanks for your help

Delete other packages that you have installed? You are out of "disk" space. On the WRT this means you've filled up the flash RAM. On a WRT54G, this is 4MB, on a WRT54GS, 8MB.
Expect * to take a couple of MB installed. Make sure you have at least that much free space before installing it. Or upgrade to a GS if you have only a G and just can't clear any space.

Starting with a fresh install of the latest OpenWRT (White Russion RC1, 2005-06-25), I don't know if it is possible with the WRT54G. I installed no additional packages and still didn't have enough space to install asterisk.
Any ideas on what I could delete to have enough space? Any idea on the bare minimum space needed?

I haven't made any attempts to optimize the -cvs build to fit on the (much) smaller footprint of the vanilla WRT54.
At some point I'll try to "slim" the ipk down by removing a lot of the modules that aren't necssary. For instance, all the SSL stuff adds a huge amount to the flash memory requirement.
The other option might be to use one of the "stable" releases from Nico. I don't know what their memory size is, but it may be smaller.

I was able to get a "successful" install by opening a second ssh and removing possibly unneeded modules while doing "ipkg -force_reinstall install asterisk_cvs" in the other secure shell.
For using the /etc/asterisk/modules.conf you have above, does anyone know which modules can safely be removed from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules?

I made a "slimmed down" version of the CVS-HEAD version tonight. I removed the crypto stuff, which took up a lot of room, as well as other modules that are less-often used in the production servers I maintain.
That slimmed it down by about 700K. I don't know a) if that's enough to allow it to fit on the WRT54, and I haven't tested it, so I don't know for sure (although I'm pretty sure) I didn't take something out that really has to be there.
I left most of the important stuff in, and you could always add and subtract modules (e.g. the stuff for realtime, ael, voicemail, etc.) to get it to do what you want to do--assuming it will fit in the first place.
You can get it at splurge.peoples-wireless.com/ipkg/asterisk-cvs_1.0.33_mipsel-slim.ipk
Let me know if you do fetch it if you can get it to work.

Ooops. I took out crypto originally, and then put it back in. I was fearful the authentication stuff would break. I can try removing it if it turns out the version I put up there is still too large, but I don't know what all else in the system might depend upon it.
Thank you so much for the extra slimmed version. I successfully installed it on one of the WRT54GS v.4 units running whiterussian rc4 and it runs better than expected! It is used for an offsite extension for a telecommuter. I set it up only to handle the calls. If the user is unavailable it routs the call back to the "real" asterisk at the server for voicemail. Thanks to all that have worked so hard to make this project work! . Anyone else trying to get Asterisk running on the WRT54GS v.4 here is what I did:
1: Download and install whiterussian rc4 (I did it through the web interface) on the WRT54GS v.4
2: Add "src astslim http://splurge.peoples-wireless.com/ipkg" to the ipkg.conf file type ipkg update.
3: From the whiterussian web interface enter a password to disable telnet and enable ssh.
4: Go to the system category and select installed software. Here you will see the astslim entries. Install Asterisk.
5: SSH into your linksys and configure asterisk.
6: If you want asterisk to start when the Linksys boots add "::respawn:/usr/sbin/asterisk -f" to the /etc/inittab file.
Hope this helps someone out there.

How many ingoing/outgoing lines/extensions can a WRT45GS handle without causing performance issues?
I guess, since I'll only ever have 1-2 incoming lines, I'm mostly interested in how many inuse extensions it can support. Has anyone tested this? Thanks!

yes, i am also interested in also finding out how many simultaneous calls this router/softwsitch will be able to handle.I will be testing this out in the next couple of weeks. I want to assume sizing of 30mhz/call = approx. between 2 and 4 calls,depending on the type of cpu in the box.This is using g729 codec. This is from official digium website.
Hi,
I've got a new WRT54GS 1.1, installed OpenWrt and Asterisk as per instructions above. I seem to have asterisk downloaded and installed with the ipkg command, however trying to run asterisk as per last paragraph of step 2 does not seem to work (or at least the asterisk -r command is not working out properly). Here's the output from my command prompt:
root@OpenWrt:~# asterisk
root@OpenWrt:~# asterisk -r
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk.ctl exist?)
I looked in to see if that file asterisk.ctl exists, but it does not - is this something missing from the install procedure or have I done something wrong?
Thanks for your help. Phil_

Rammer has the right idea...
The first asterisk cmd you use add the options -cvvvv and see where it stops...
Also, if you look in /var/adm/asterisk/messages you might find some helpful information.
I've found the the problem usually arrises from a non-slimmed /etc/asterisk/modules.conf
What modules are being loaded?

Thanks Rammer and David for replying. I believe I've tired out the slim as stated above. I've uplaoded the output I get when I run the 'asterisk -cvvvv' command to http://www.puresoft.co.uk/downloads/asterisk.txt and here is a copy of my config http://www.puresoft.co.uk/downloads/modules.conf.
My messages file is as follows:

When I try the asterisk -r command after that I still get the 'Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk.ctl exist?)' message.

Starting "asterisk" with no arguments defaults to running it as a daemon in the background. The subsequent "asterisk -r" attaches a remote console to that daemon. By the time you do the latter command, the daemon has already aborted due to an error and that is why the it is unable to connect to remote asterisk.
The "-c" option causes asterisk to stay in the foreground with a console. The "-v" option turns on "verbosity" and the more v's the more verbosity. When you run with "asterisk -cvvvv", you do not need to do a "asterisk -r".
The first asterisk error is:
[res_config_mysql.so]Jan 1 00:01:06 WARNING[587]: loader.c:313 __load_resource: File not found
Jan 1 00:01:06 WARNING[587]: loader.c:541 load_modules: Loading module res_config_mysql.so failed!
Try "mv /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/res_config_mysql.so /tmp" (or explicitly say noload for this module in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf") and restarting with "asterisk -cvvvv".
You may have to remove a few more modules before you get the "Asterisk Ready." prompt. BTW, it can close to 3 minutes to come up, but that can be shortened by eliminating unneeded modules.
Finally, once asterisk it up, what do you want to do?

Hi,
Thanks for the help. I added the following 2 lines in the /etc/asterisk/modules.conf file and it works through.
noload => res_config_mysql.so
noload => res_config_pgsql.so
Now I have it up and runnign I will be using it to rout calls between my two work locations, so I can have my calls sent through to me as I choose. I will also be planning to try and get things set up so I can ditch one or both of my PSTN business lines and use VOIP instead. Sorting out the hardware for that now.
Philip.

Thanks for all the work with asterisk on openwrt. I just loaded a wrt54g ver 2.2 with white russian RC2. I download the slimmed down version of asterisk, asterisk-cvs_1.0.33_mipsel-slim.ipk but I get a crypto error running asterisk -cvvvv. I have pretty much everything turned off in modules.conf. I get the error even if I have the crypto module shut off in modules.conf I have to rename the res_crypto.so to something else so that asterisk will even start. The following is the error I get when starting asterisk.

Does anyone know where I can find the files needed to setup voicemail? I am using the cvs version of asterisk on a wrt54gs. Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure you want to put voicemail on the machine. It can't record the messages fast enough and you get garbage... There are ways around this but they take quite a bit of fiddling and I believe you lose all messages if the power goes out on the box.... but if you want the sounds... get a regular install of asterisk and just tar them up.
I forgot to mention - it's the sound files that I am looking for. Is there a way to install them via ipkg? Again, thanks.

Hi Balaji,
Look at my post #15 above. I had the same problem. I was able to get around it by downloading the RC2 CVS snapshot and compiling it myself. If you have a linux box availabe you may want to try that instead.

ANy ideas of what might be incorrectly done ?
Thanks
Has anybody connected a pstn phone line to the Wrt54G ?Or has anybody some advise to do so on one way or another ?
Thanks
Thanks
Hi,
This seems really cool that you can run asterisk off a WRT54gs box. Has anybody tried the G711u codec and does it work off this box? The reason I ask, I use VOIPSTUNT to make free calls worldwide but I think they only support G711u not GSM.
Does the IVR / Auto attendant / Hold music features still work?
I'm correctly new to Linux / Asterisk. Current playing around with Asterisk@home 2.5 image installed in VMWARE.. pretty cool for practice and no major timing issues. Call quality is pretty good to.. Running off my XP PC Pentium 4 - 1400 with 256mb / SDRAM. (128mb xp / 128mb Asterisk server)
I currently have WRT54G version 2.0 - would it work on this? I guess not because of 4mb flash?

Ravi,
I had a look at this last summer, the wrt just doesn't have enough horsepower

If someone could package channel_sccp (this one http://chan-sccp.berlios.de rather then the original one) I'd be very interested.
There's a Cisco 7960G phone for the person who can get it working.
I'm UK based so if the phone has to be shipped overseas we'll have to come to some agreement on the shipping costs. I'll install either SIP or SCCP firmware on the phone.

Is it possible to use this method to make Asterisk work on dd-wrt?
I tried but I got some errors.

I think the ultimate implimentation of Asterisk on a wireless router would be on the WRTP54G. With wireless capabilities, and 2 phone ports to use with Asterisk, this would be like an All-in-One kickass devise. Has anyone thought of attacking something like this???
I had two things go weird...
asterisk: can't load library 'libgcc_s.so.1'
and
asterisk: can't load library 'libssl.so.0.9.7'
I created a link from /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 to /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 and ln -s /lib/libc.so.0 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
I was then able to get asterisk running.... Not sure if i missed something and that caused the error. If anyone has anything better or knows what the real issue was it would be great to know...

What fo you mean by "created a link" ? I am having the same problem and would like to know in detail how you solved it. Thankyou in anticiaption.
HI,
Thanks for some great reading and ideas. I am looking for a device or a way to configure one analoque phone to a device and then dynamicaly route the calls . If local phone numbers are dialed it must use ZAP if a mobile number or a international number is dialed it must use my * server which is located at a ISP. Any ideas guys?.. can this Linksys device do this?.

OMG. Could this software be more buggy/cryptic/annoying? Really, don't you guys have something better to do with your lives that mucking about with a half-baked IP PBX? I am amazed at how resilient you are... who the hell is paying your salaries? Or are you just masochists? PLEASE SOMEONE COME UP WITH A VIABLE PRODUCT SOLUTION TO THIS STUPIDITY!!
can asterisk be used to have , say, 20 ppl call in from their normal phones to a live lecture and listen if they're sick or something and can't attend in person?
