[ubuntu-uk] Asterisk friendly VoIP providers in UK

[Ian Pascoe]

Hi Rob

Not sure if you're looking for this, but the folks at

www.locustworld.com

are MESH networking specialists and have recently started to ship Asterisk
as standard - they also operate their own PSTN Gateway.

No idea on costs etc, but it's all Open Source stuff from what I can see.
They're also open to "silly" techy queries like is it possible to set the
number of simultaneous log ons to 2 whilst a mobile source moves from one AP
to another.

Not sure about the hardware side though - ie PRI / BRI cards if you want
direct PSTN  access on site.

BTW from a professional viewpoint I would always strongly recommend haveing
at least one analogue PSTN connection to the PBX for use with 999 calls as
it enables the blue light services to identify the actual location where you
are as opposed to what the person mumbles over the phone which depending the
nature of the emergency could be totally duff.

Cheers

Ian

I'm using sipgate for my incoming sip trunk and haven't had any
problems. DTFM can be tricky but once you get it setup it works fine.
If you have any troubles, please feel free to get in touch off list
and I'll send you some example configuration etc...

Chris
