It seems that everyone's eyes lit up when Shawn annouced asterisks capability to record phone conversations and connect two people without either of them having to call eachother (outbound calling...FABULOUS..I'm just dying to get a call from social.itp.nyu.edu..no,really I am). In light of this 'excitement' I decided to try to make this work, call two people and have them connect to eachother and record the conversation. (no devious actions, just two phone numbers that are mine...I would never use this on poor unsuspecting people...hehe). I also got up and running with IAX soft phone and the gizmo project.

The result of my attempt, however, is so far unsuccessful, although I did successfully crash the entire asterisks dialplan for the redial class because of an incredibly stupid syntax error. (which Im sure Shawn was so pleased to fix at 3:00am....sorry!....had no idea I was capable of that). Needless to say before I dismantle the whole server I am going to bed to get some sleep. Update tomorrow when my brain starts functioning again. (these kind of things only happen to me)
