I am hoping that someone can answer some basic questions about Asterisk for me.
Currenly I have a 48 port IVR system running on a Windows 2003 Server with 2 480JCT Dialogic Cards. It uses a VB.NET/SQL Server Back end with a VoiceGuide IVR API Interface. I have found the current setup to be relatively unstable and I am looking into an alternative. Here are my questions…
Can Asterisk be assimilated into an existing VB.NET wrapper with relative ease?
Is Asterisk easy to use to make/answer calls?
Can I use the existing D cards or possibly migrate to VOIP or SIP?
Can it be run on Windows or is a Linux server required?
Asterisk is designed for Linux. There are some ports for windows, but only for old versions.
Not sure if mono can handle vb.net
Asterisk can easy “make/answer calls” - very easy.
After some googling - no drivers for those cards for Asterisk - meaning either they will not work, or it will be hard job.
