(Phone System) and IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system,

Phone Service).
Previously (back in the year 2000), Unigroup had presented
the "Bayonne" Open Source Telephony Project.

MAIN PRESENTATION
-----------------
Topic: The Asterisk Open Source PBX/Telephony System:
From The Ground Up!
We'll compile the code and start up the asterisk server. Then
hook up a couple of phones so we can make an internal PBX call.
From there, we'll register with a VoIP provider and make
a real call to someone in the audience. Last, we can also build
a basic voice response system to make a virtual "haunted house"
for this coming October 31st.
Outline for the Talk:
- About The Asterisk Project
- Getting the code and compiling it
- Basic configuration
- Setting up phone extensions
- Registering a SIP phone
- Making an internal call
- Registering with a VoIP service
- Calling an outside line, receiving a call from an outside line
- Basic call routing and IVR (Interactive Voice Response)
- (Helping people get a system up and running on their laptops)

Speaker Biography:
------------------
Paul Charles Leddy has been a Linux Systems Administrator for about
10 years. The story of how he got involved with computer telephony
is: "Dreaming of voice over the Internet since circa '96, when
Paul heard about Mark Spencer's Asterisk, he just had to get it up
and running. He downloaded the code onto his Mac laptop and had a
dial tone within minutes: Wow! Since then, he has gone on to
implement a few phone extensions, Interactive Voice Response
playhouses, hooked up to a real live VoIP service or two, like
Junction Networks and VoipJet, and helped friends and family
discover the wonderful world of cheap talk, walking the walk."
