I think that the use case for this is that I'm away, but I need to call $CONTRIBUTOR and I want them to know that it's me instead of some random cell phone number, so we should be able to login and have it come from our extension.
Would caller id with the person's cell phone number solve this problem? If so, that might be easier to handle.
Yes/no. Yes, in that the system should pass through your cell phone number to the callee. No, in that a significant number of people wouldn't want their personal cell phone number being passed on to the callee. Also, you might not recognize most people's cell phone numbers, plus there may be many cases where caller id information isn't sent or is incorrect etc.
Jeff, correct me if I'm wrong. And I thought the meeting was at 3PM EST, have I failed yet again? I'm incredibly busy with $DAYJOB as well :(
It was pretty short. It was over by 2000 UTC when I got back. If you look at the log, you'll see it went pretty quick.
If you want to add to the wish list, I would like to eventually be able to forward calls to another sip server. Right now I sort of handle this (but something is broken) by having my asterisk box register with the fedora talk server so it can get calls. But I get so few calls (none except for my test calls) that I think it would be significantly less overhead to have a forwarding ability rather than have to essentially poll from my end.
We're handling this as one-off items that need someone from F-I to set up - for example both Dennis Gilmore and I have IAX trunks set up.
