Asterisk Open Source PBX 1.0 Release

An anonymous reader writes "Today at Astricon (the first Asterisk conference), Mark Spencer announced the release of version 1.0.0 of Asterisk. For those of you that don't know: Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on Linux and provides all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk does voice over IP in three protocols, and can interoperate with almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware. Asterisk users can be up and running, making phone calls in under an hour using the various guides found at the VoIP Wiki. Connectivity to the PSTN is provided by companies like VoicePulse, Nufone, Gafachi and VoipJet."

Enjoy your IAXy...

echo '0.0.0.0 ads.osdn.com' | cat >> /etc/hosts

Here's the problem with the new generation of Unix users - they think that, just because Unix is a collection of small utilities that can be used to achieve great results, they must utilize as many tools as possible in solving the simplest problems.

echo '0.0.0.0 ads.osdn.com' >> /etc/hosts

I just had a funny thought..

As I clicked on the Asterisk link, I imagined a GNU HURD stampeding across the internet to the Asterisk server.

What have we become?!

Asterisk 1, because when it comes to your job, you only have one "ass-to-risk"

OK, that was bad.

Actually, they should use:

printf "%s %s %s\n" $( echo '0.0.0.0 ads.osdn.com' | cat | rev | nl | head -5 | sed 's/Eris/Bob/g' | awk '{ print $2 " " $3 }' | rev | nl ) |cut -c3- >> /etc/hosts

Oh sorry, I was trying to set the outgoing message, but the kids had just come home from school.

Thanks, I'll fix that.
