| 03:52.50 | jsmith | blitztang: How exciting... |
| 03:56.36 | blitztang | yah :) |
| 04:10.49 | jsmith | Any idea what the Progress() application really does? |
| 04:25.01 | blitztang | Progress()?... hrmmmm |
| 04:27.15 | jsmith | blitzrage: Yeah... Progress(). I can't find beans about it. |
| 04:27.30 | blitztang | ok... how the hell do you charge for Asterisk? |
| 04:27.44 | blitztang | I have a guy who wants an Asterisk system with a simple billing interface, and I have no idea how much to charge... |
| 04:28.01 | jsmith | Charge between 600 and 800 dollars per extension. |
| 04:28.14 | jsmith | Plus charge an extra $50 per voicemail box. |
| 04:28.26 | blitztang | what about the billing system? |
| 04:28.37 | jsmith | Plus an additional $80 per hour of setup. |
| 04:28.45 | jsmith | Isn't there an already canned Asterisk billing system? |
| 04:28.53 | blitztang | with web interface and bills exported to Excel or Access for printing out to customers |
| 04:28.59 | blitztang | pre and post paid as well |
| 04:29.17 | jsmith | Sounds like a fun programming project. |
| 04:29.23 | jsmith | Well, the prepaid is easy -- AstCC |
| 04:29.41 | jsmith | (Of course, I've never tried it) |
| 04:29.49 | blitztang | me either :) |
| 04:33.04 | jsmith | http://sourceforge.net/projects/asteriskbilling/ might be a start |
| 04:33.31 | jsmith | Personally, I'd just dump the CDR info into Postgres and write a few PHP scripts for post-paid billing. |
| 04:33.45 | jsmith | As for pre-paid, it's slightly trickier, but not that bad. |
| 04:34.21 | jsmith | You just have to calculate the number of minutes they can talk (after they've dialed, but before you connect the call) and set the AbsoluteTimeout to that number of seconds. |
| 04:34.37 | jsmith | And at the end of the call, subtract the number of seconds they used from their balance. |
| 04:36.18 | blitztang | hrmmm... system for 50 extensions with custom billing application for $2,000 -> $3,000 seems a bit low to me... |
| 04:38.11 | jsmith | Let's see -- 50 extensions times 600 = 3000. Plus another 2500 in voicemail boxes. Plus another three to four thousand for the calling-card stuff. Plus $80/hour for customization, etc. |
| 04:38.44 | jsmith | I don't know where you're getting 2 to 3k... looks more like $9000 to me. |
| 04:54.36 | jsmith | OK, any idea what the "announceoverride" argument to Queue() does? |
| 04:56.02 | blitztang | hrmmmm... didn't we try to find this out before? |
| 05:01.23 | jsmith | Not that I know of. |
| 05:03.20 | jsmith | Looks like it's the name of a sound file, which overrides the default queue announcement. |
| 05:03.23 | jsmith | Testing now... |

| 17:14.49 | jsmith | blitztang: Because then I won't get any work done, as I'll be chatting with you :-) |
| 17:16.19 | blitztang | lol |
| 17:16.24 | blitztang | fair enough :) |
| 17:16.57 | blitztang | I suppose you don't know of a good iTunes replacement... |
| 17:22.43 | blitztang | actually, nevermind, don't worry about it |

| 20:52.43 | Alric | Right now I got shoved under the moving project of another company (ie: clear out the downstairs so we can build stuff) |
