TwinCites Asterisk Users Group

The next meeting of the TwinCities Voip Users Group (The TC Asterisk Users Group) will be Saturday June 14th, 2008.

Jay Taylor has made progress with ISDN BRI service for the United States version of this service using SPIDs. He'll be presenting his experience with this project and tell us what's left to do and how he got it working.

This month, we're meeting at the same building, but on another floor in another suite. As I recall it's suite 210.

Jimmy John's is just a block away or we can order pizza as usual. The meeting will begin at 11:30am on Saturday.

Hello Asterisk Users and those with an Interest in VoIP Tech,

The TwinCities Asterisk Users Group will be meeting at a new location. We will be reviewing an Asterisk deployment that will be in progress during our meeting. This system will feature 160 extensions, Channel banks for additional analog ports and several PRI connections. What better a topic or location than on a real customer/deployment site. You'll have a chance to ask questions and get hands on experience as we unbox and power up a system.

The TwinCities Asterisk Users Group will be meeting this Saturday at 11:30am.

Justin Grammens will be presenting on Ruby and Adhearsion for Asterisk - http://adhearsion.com/

The location will be in Bloomington MN at the offices of Sound Choice Communications LLC.
The address is 7839 12th Ave S, 55425. Take I-494 to the 12th Ave exit and go South to the second building on the
East side of the street. You can telephone 651-999-0888 if you get lost or have questions.

Come and share your experiences and ask questions.

Lunch will be ordered from a local pizza joint.

How many people would be interested in joining the monthly meeting via conference call or videoconference? I sure would since I come all the way from Taylors Falls. Skype and a polycom communicator are a great combination (not to mention it is also a great USB speakerphone for any softphone with asterisk). Maybe instead or in addition to skype somehow using iChat?

I recently purchased a Symbian S60 (3rd Ed.) smartphone Nokia N80 and upgraded it to the Internet Edition so I could use the Internet tel. SIP phone that nokia has made available to the N80, N80ie, E61, E70 and some other phones in these series as well.

The N80 Internet Edition or N80 standard upgraded to Internet Edition can be used as both a cell phone and a VoIP SIP phone. Users can download and use software for any VoIP SIP service.

I found an article on the Linksys 3102 ATA and Asterisk

I also found the Linksys web site for the 3102 ATA unit with the User Guide and Firmware updates at

Would you ditch Cisco for the open source Asterisk IP PBX?

Network World magazine has opinions on both sides. You can add to the discussion yourself.

The primary topic of todays meeting was the creating of the agenda for the next two or three meetings and some disscussion of the format and sugguested changes.

We also introduced the new website. (You're looking at it)

Any member of the group (defined as anyone whos attended a meeting) will be added as an administrator of the website upon the asking. We need to have the community of members maintain the website and handle commuincations for the group.

To keep the meetings going we need the following support from our members.
- A Projector
- A Presentation
