WEBVTT

00:09.180 --> 00:11.040
I love you too, Stank.

00:11.460 --> 00:14.200
I hope you enjoyed our little time by there.

00:15.140 --> 00:23.240
I'm Strom Carlson, and this is Black Ratchet, and welcome to Be Your Own Telephone Company with Asterisk.

00:24.680 --> 00:29.180
Apparently Alex thought that rated this a bullshit presentation, so...

00:30.040 --> 00:31.660
Yes, we're very proud of that fact.

00:36.780 --> 00:43.380
See, if Alex thought that we're actually here, we'd give him the payphone, but I guess he's not, so you lose, Alex.

00:43.380 --> 00:43.900
Sorry.

00:47.280 --> 00:48.800
So, let's get started.

00:48.820 --> 00:53.860
Actually, before we get started, I just want to test the phone to make sure that our dial tone's the right volume.

01:54.760 --> 01:56.560
Alright, so let's get started.

01:57.900 --> 02:00.340
Seems like I've got these cords in the right places.

02:01.060 --> 02:03.440
So, first off, what is Asterisk?

02:03.440 --> 02:04.640
What is this damn thing?

02:05.960 --> 02:08.560
How many of you have no clue what Asterisk actually is?

02:11.080 --> 02:11.880
Sweet.

02:12.720 --> 02:14.100
You're in for fun.

02:14.120 --> 02:15.040
Lots of fun.

02:15.680 --> 02:17.020
What is Asterisk?

02:17.160 --> 02:21.020
Asterisk is a free, open-source PBX that runs on Linux.

02:21.400 --> 02:22.960
It is the best thing since sliced bread.

02:22.960 --> 02:25.000
How many of you don't know what a PBX is?

02:26.720 --> 02:28.500
All my phones have their friends in the front.

02:29.080 --> 02:30.700
PBX is a private brand exchange.

02:30.700 --> 02:32.040
It's a telephone system.

02:32.040 --> 02:34.620
In case you hadn't guessed, it's a talk about telephones.

02:35.180 --> 02:38.780
It was originally written by Mark Spencer of Digium back in 1999.

02:38.780 --> 02:41.120
It's been upgraded significantly since then.

02:41.120 --> 02:43.020
It's now version 1.0.8.

02:43.020 --> 02:43.920
It's a stable 1.0.

02:45.380 --> 02:47.620
1.0.9 is a stable 1.0?

02:47.780 --> 02:48.200
Yeah.

02:48.200 --> 02:48.840
Okay.

02:53.700 --> 02:56.700
We just ran the latest bleeding edge version.

02:56.720 --> 02:57.840
So, why Asterisk?

02:57.840 --> 02:59.540
Well, first off, it's free!

03:01.600 --> 03:03.040
And that's the cool part.

03:03.040 --> 03:09.380
A typical PBX for a business will cost you in the 5-digit range just for the hardware.

03:09.620 --> 03:11.580
And when you set it up, it will cost you even more.

03:11.660 --> 03:17.020
So if you can do this yourself, and this is very easy to do yourself, it will save you a lot of money if you're running a company.

03:17.020 --> 03:23.060
And if you're a hobbyist, it's really cool because you can set up your own phone network and call each other for free, and we'll get into that.

03:23.580 --> 03:25.720
It runs on commodity PC hardware.

03:25.720 --> 03:33.460
In fact, this little tiny laptop that Ratchet is typing on right now is our Asterisk PBX for the presentation.

03:34.380 --> 03:37.740
There's broad support for VoIP protocols and hardware.

03:38.040 --> 03:41.760
It's easy to interconnect with other Asterisk boxes and form your own network.

03:41.760 --> 03:44.300
It's configurable to do almost whatever you want it to do.

03:44.300 --> 03:48.820
So you can tweak it to your needs, you can write your own code to interface with things if you need to.

03:49.360 --> 03:54.020
Unfortunately, it won't do your dishes, but it comes close.

03:54.020 --> 03:57.420
We're working on the dish dial tone module.

04:04.980 --> 04:07.780
So let's get into the hardware of Asterisk.

04:08.500 --> 04:11.880
Asterisk will run on surprisingly out-of-date stuff.

04:12.120 --> 04:18.160
If you go to VoIPinfo.org, there's a wiki there with all sorts of information on VoIP and especially Asterisk.

04:18.160 --> 04:22.720
And one of the pages is this page where people post what they've gotten Asterisk to do.

04:22.720 --> 04:24.780
And they stress test Asterisk on various hardware.

04:25.260 --> 04:32.220
Someone running a 133 MHz Pentium 1 with 16 MB of RAM got 3 concurrent SIP calls going at the same time.

04:32.960 --> 04:35.460
And any PC you have lying around will work.

04:35.540 --> 04:42.060
Someone posted that they got a 2.4 GHz P4 with 512 MB of RAM to do 790 simultaneous calls.

04:43.860 --> 04:49.600
So you'll hit your bandwidth limit far more quickly than you'll hit the limit of your hardware.

04:52.200 --> 04:53.920
Here's a sample Asterisk installation.

04:53.920 --> 04:56.640
This is actually my rack behind my desk at home.

04:56.800 --> 04:59.620
So here's my Asterisk box in the corner.

05:00.780 --> 05:02.220
Thanks, thanks.

05:02.320 --> 05:03.940
I get told that a lot.

05:06.180 --> 05:07.460
I beg your pardon?

05:09.180 --> 05:11.540
Yeah, I did get the rack at Costco, actually.

05:12.600 --> 05:17.280
So there's the Asterisk box chilling into my mail server, my web server, my NAS box, and everything.

05:17.860 --> 05:20.080
There are Sun machines here.

05:20.080 --> 05:24.560
Asterisk is running on the PC, but people have gotten it to work on Sun machines running Linux.

05:24.560 --> 05:28.420
And I think someone got it to run on Solaris running on Sun hardware as well.

05:30.360 --> 05:32.640
So, yes.

05:34.820 --> 05:36.060
They all work.

05:36.060 --> 05:40.180
We'll have a Q&A session at the end, so we'll do that.

05:41.000 --> 05:46.860
There are many methods for connecting your telephones to Asterisk.

05:46.860 --> 05:53.120
You can get either an IP telephone, or you can connect regular analog telephones to Asterisk.

05:53.920 --> 05:56.800
There are IP telephones you can buy second-hand on the market.

05:56.800 --> 05:58.140
They're not all that expensive.

05:58.260 --> 06:00.120
This is the Cisco 7960.

06:00.120 --> 06:01.300
This is an IP phone.

06:01.840 --> 06:04.220
You can get those for about $250 online.

06:04.220 --> 06:05.500
In fact, I looked on eBay.

06:05.620 --> 06:08.300
I think I saw them going used for $150.

06:09.520 --> 06:12.320
If you look for deals, I've gotten one for $120.

06:12.320 --> 06:14.860
That's as low as they go right now in current market conditions.

06:18.160 --> 06:19.860
There's the... go ahead.

06:20.060 --> 06:22.100
You don't want to know what I had to do for that.

06:24.980 --> 06:28.640
There's the Polycom IP600, which is considered the other really good phone.

06:28.640 --> 06:31.660
These two are considered probably the premium-deployed telephones.

06:31.660 --> 06:34.120
And that's $250 online on eBay.

06:34.520 --> 06:36.400
There are crappy telephones you can get.

06:36.400 --> 06:39.840
You can get the Grandstream Budget Home 100, used about $40.

06:39.840 --> 06:46.980
It's roughly equivalent to that $9.95 phone you buy at the drugstore that falls apart before you even get it home.

06:47.040 --> 06:50.260
But it's a VoIP phone, so if you need a cheap VoIP phone, that'll work.

06:50.540 --> 06:55.700
And right in the mid-range, there's the Snom 190, which is about $150, $175.

06:55.940 --> 06:58.500
The prices have come down since we threw these slides together.

06:59.120 --> 07:05.280
And , I mean, there are hundreds of manufacturers making phones for Asterisk and just VoIP in general.

07:05.280 --> 07:07.760
So you can look around and find all sorts of stuff.

07:12.220 --> 07:14.540
Most VoIP phones are built the same.

07:14.540 --> 07:16.700
We'll get into that, actually, in the protocol section.

07:16.700 --> 07:20.920
So I'm actually going to ask you to hold your questions until the Q&A session at the end.

07:20.920 --> 07:25.280
And we'll have a queue at the telephone over there for you to ask your questions via telephone.

07:27.440 --> 07:29.100
You know the cool stuff's coming later.

07:29.260 --> 07:33.800
You can also get little terminal adapters if you want to plug your analog telephones in.

07:34.320 --> 07:39.000
You can buy one from Digium that speaks Asterisk's native protocol called EECS.

07:39.080 --> 07:40.020
And that's called the EECS-E.

07:40.020 --> 07:41.240
And I think I have one here.

08:01.880 --> 08:03.700
This is the EECS-E.

08:03.700 --> 08:04.900
A little tidy thing.

08:04.940 --> 08:09.980
You plug in an analog telephone in one end and you plug your Ethernet connection in the other end.

08:09.980 --> 08:12.440
And your analog phone is now a VoIP phone.

08:12.440 --> 08:13.460
This is $100.

08:14.760 --> 08:18.520
You can also get the Sephora SPA-2002.

08:18.520 --> 08:20.600
We've got those here running.

08:20.600 --> 08:22.040
And these are about $70.

08:22.040 --> 08:25.780
You can plug two Vana Ratchet.

08:29.540 --> 08:31.860
These speak SIF instead of EECS.

08:31.860 --> 08:36.100
You can plug two analog telephones into these and get two dial tones and that's about $70.

08:36.100 --> 08:41.540
You can get the Grandstream HandyTone 286 for about $65.

08:42.360 --> 08:44.500
That only does one, I think, that speaks SIF.

08:44.500 --> 08:51.460
And the old Cisco ATA-186, which is the one that Vonage used to send out, is about $50 online.

08:51.660 --> 08:53.860
You can also... there's tons more of these.

08:53.860 --> 09:02.240
There's one... the adapter that Packet 8 used to send out, the DTA-310, you can find those about $30 used online.

09:02.240 --> 09:07.960
And although you can't really get them working as they are, you can reflash the firmware and they become just generic SIF adapters.

09:08.480 --> 09:10.360
There's details for that on the website.

09:11.260 --> 09:14.140
You can also buy something called a Zaptel card.

09:14.240 --> 09:21.460
And these are cards you put in your asterisk box and you connect analog telephones and telephone lines to these cards.

09:21.560 --> 09:24.520
The one on the top is the TDM-400P.

09:24.520 --> 09:26.420
That has four little modules on it.

09:26.420 --> 09:34.140
You can select either FXS, which are dial tones, or FXO, which are telephone line interfaces, and put them on the card and arrange them any way you like.

09:34.880 --> 09:47.500
The bottom one is a T1 card, and you can... there are two versions of FXO, 405 and 410P, and the 411 and 406 have echo cancellation built into them.

09:48.000 --> 09:57.540
And so you can bring four primary rate ISDN interfaces into that and have 96 channels of voice going out of your asterisk box.

09:57.540 --> 10:05.140
Or, you know, if you've got a whole bunch of analog phones, you can get a channel bank and plug the channel bank into the T1 for your stations.

10:05.140 --> 10:08.960
So you can have 96 stations running off of one asterisk box with four channel banks.

10:10.960 --> 10:13.540
So, what are you talking about?

10:16.180 --> 10:21.480
Let's get into some of the protocols that asterisks use to talk to the network.

10:27.800 --> 10:30.460
Those are really hard to find, in my opinion.

10:30.460 --> 10:35.380
I mean, I've looked for them because I thought they were really cool, but I could not find them anywhere.

10:35.380 --> 10:39.000
I searched eBay for about a week, and I finally gave up in frustration.

10:43.760 --> 10:44.920
Oh, that's cool.

10:46.560 --> 10:53.760
Okay, for those of you who didn't hear, apparently the Linksys TAP2 is the same way as the Sapura 2000.

10:53.760 --> 10:57.600
It can or can't, except for it cannot be flashed permanently.

10:57.600 --> 11:01.600
Anyway, getting back to interconnecting asterisks, let's go adjust this.

11:05.300 --> 11:09.820
The main protocol for interconnecting voice over IP calls is called SIP.

11:09.820 --> 11:11.860
It stands for Session Initiation Protocol.

11:11.860 --> 11:15.160
It's a signaling protocol only.

11:15.560 --> 11:17.600
It only signals and sets up calls.

11:17.600 --> 11:21.920
All it does is contact your box and say, hey, I have a good call for you.

11:21.920 --> 11:23.100
You might want to connect to it.

11:23.100 --> 11:24.460
It's on this IP address.

11:24.460 --> 11:33.400
At which point, it connects to the IP address with a protocol called RTP, which stands for Real-Time Transport Protocol.

11:34.480 --> 11:37.980
It was developed by the ITF, not ITU.

11:37.980 --> 11:40.180
It uses URLs instead of telephone numbers.

11:40.180 --> 11:44.480
For example, you won't connect to 3-1-1-5-5-5-2-3-6-8.

11:44.480 --> 11:50.300
You'll enter it into SIP, stromcharleston.com, which doesn't work on Thread.

11:50.560 --> 11:52.900
It's intended to be a peer-to-peer protocol.

11:53.060 --> 11:54.940
It's not like a general server.

11:54.940 --> 11:57.160
It goes to my box next to Strom's.

11:57.300 --> 12:02.060
It doesn't have to contact anybody for it to work.

12:02.060 --> 12:04.040
There are certain caveats to that.

12:04.040 --> 12:05.340
We'll get into those later.

12:05.340 --> 12:08.660
The main advantage of SIP is that it's very ubiquitous.

12:08.660 --> 12:10.060
It's supported by everybody.

12:10.060 --> 12:15.220
If you talk about VoIP, anything post-1998, it uses SIP.

12:16.060 --> 12:25.180
Packet 8, Broad Voice, essentially all the major providers use SIP, with the exception of AT&T called Vantage, which I'll cover later.

12:25.420 --> 12:27.660
It does not play well with NAT.

12:27.660 --> 12:29.520
It's very hard to actually set up with NAT.

12:29.520 --> 12:32.760
You have to start poking holes in your firewall for the RTP.

12:32.760 --> 12:40.900
And, for example, if you start connecting out to another box, say I'm behind NAT and I try to call Strom, it'll say, oh, connect to my box.

12:40.900 --> 12:46.180
I'm at 192.168.0.252, and Strom's loss of VoIP.

12:47.020 --> 12:49.700
So there's a lot of workarounds for it.

12:49.700 --> 12:53.240
What you have to do is you have to tell it to, you know, this is my external IP address.

12:53.240 --> 12:54.660
Use this for everything.

12:54.980 --> 12:57.480
Don't care about whatever your IP address is.

12:57.580 --> 13:00.060
However, in my opinion, it's a bit of a kludge.

13:00.880 --> 13:05.180
The other protocol, before there was SIP, there was H.323.

13:05.180 --> 13:07.700
It was developed in 1996 by the ITU.

13:08.600 --> 13:16.300
It's really far more similar to traditional protocols that are used by telephone networks, as opposed to SIP.

13:16.620 --> 13:18.540
Like, for example, SS7 or something.

13:18.540 --> 13:20.540
It's more similar to that.

13:20.560 --> 13:28.180
Again, it uses RTP for media transport, and it's used internally a lot by inter-exchange carriers.

13:28.180 --> 13:33.100
And it's very unpopular in the VoIP world, because it isn't a fair setup.

13:33.600 --> 13:36.420
And it's, like I said, a major pain in the ass to get it working correctly.

13:36.980 --> 13:37.980
Hold on.

13:38.360 --> 13:42.600
Although, by the way, although this is a telephone talk, please turn your ringers off.

13:42.600 --> 13:43.540
Thank you.

13:43.960 --> 13:46.880
Come on, I figured let's discriminate her against telephone users.

13:47.640 --> 13:53.720
We actually were hanging, Strom was hanging out in Pound Asterisk one day on IRC.3dome.net, for anyone interested.

13:53.720 --> 13:58.780
And JerJer, who's one of the major contributors in Asterisk, made the following quote.

13:58.780 --> 14:01.840
Just don't use H3.3, and all your problems will be solved.

14:01.840 --> 14:04.120
Which, technically, is correct.

14:05.120 --> 14:09.960
Now, for Asterisk, there's a main protocol, and as you can tell, it's based on Asterisk.

14:09.960 --> 14:11.840
It's called intra-asterisk exchange.

14:11.840 --> 14:15.320
It was developed by Mark Spencer of Digium, the guy who wrote Asterisk.

14:15.320 --> 14:17.740
And it covers both signaling and media transport.

14:17.740 --> 14:20.080
It's a very streamlined, very simple protocol.

14:20.080 --> 14:27.780
What Mark wanted to do is he wanted to, you know, took a look at SIP, took a look at H3.23, and said, Boy, these are crap.

14:27.820 --> 14:29.240
Let's go design a mining protocol.

14:29.640 --> 14:32.780
It does not suffer from NAT traversal issues.

14:32.960 --> 14:40.660
For example, I'm behind a firewall I call Strom, and, you know, it knows that where I'm coming from, you know, it knows where to connect.

14:40.660 --> 14:44.560
It doesn't actually, you know, say, hey, I have an IP address here, which could be wrong.

14:45.420 --> 14:50.000
Data signaling happened via UDP on port 4569.

14:50.000 --> 14:55.240
That's the only thing you have to open up in your firewall as opposed to RTP, which I think you have to open about 15,000 ports for.

14:55.760 --> 14:57.980
Very well supported by Asterisk.

14:59.420 --> 15:02.840
However, the support in terminal equipment is very rare.

15:02.840 --> 15:08.020
The only ETA that supports it is the ICSI by Digium that makes it.

15:08.240 --> 15:12.380
I've also noticed that one phone recently started to support it.

15:12.380 --> 15:14.100
It's called a NetWeb302.

15:14.100 --> 15:15.820
It's actually made in China.

15:16.300 --> 15:18.880
And the only place you can get it is someplace in Delaware.

15:19.640 --> 15:20.440
Telephone.

15:20.880 --> 15:22.600
Could you shut off the ringer, please?

15:22.860 --> 15:24.420
I'm testing for later.

15:24.960 --> 15:26.560
The nerve of some people.

15:29.720 --> 15:36.800
It's a protocol for many PSTN termination providers because, you know, a lot of PSTN termination providers, they use Asterisk.

15:36.800 --> 15:37.840
It all works.

15:37.840 --> 15:38.460
Just set it up.

15:38.460 --> 15:39.500
It's fire and forget.

15:39.660 --> 15:42.800
I think I set it up in one of my accounts about a year ago.

15:42.800 --> 15:44.520
I haven't touched configuration settings.

15:44.520 --> 15:45.700
It just works.

15:46.820 --> 15:50.820
The other protocols are the Media Gateway Control Protocol, MGCP.

15:50.820 --> 15:52.360
That's the other protocol I was talking about.

15:52.360 --> 15:54.140
It's used by AT&T called Vantage.

15:54.340 --> 15:56.380
I'm not sure if they still use it, but they did.

15:56.560 --> 16:03.700
I bought an old ETA firm on eBay, and I had to reflash it and do all kinds of annoying things to actually get it working with Asterisk.

16:03.700 --> 16:05.100
But the support is there.

16:05.400 --> 16:09.300
The other thing is Cisco's Skinny Client Control Protocol.

16:09.800 --> 16:11.320
It's used by Cisco phones.

16:11.320 --> 16:12.340
This actually uses SIP.

16:12.340 --> 16:13.940
This doesn't use SCCP right now.

16:13.940 --> 16:18.860
You can choose with the Cisco phones to use either SIP or SCCP.

16:18.860 --> 16:20.280
They're different firmware images.

16:20.900 --> 16:23.500
Not all Cisco phones support SIP.

16:23.500 --> 16:30.760
For example, I have an older version that was made in the early 2000s, and it only uses SCCP.

16:30.760 --> 16:32.000
There's support for it.

16:32.000 --> 16:34.520
It's not the best in the world, but it works.

16:34.520 --> 16:39.060
I mean, I can only have one line on the phone, and three-way calling is an issue.

16:40.960 --> 16:46.200
There are two different SCCP implementations for Asterisk, and they both kind of suck.

16:47.200 --> 16:50.140
Chan SCCP2 doesn't suck as bad.

16:53.140 --> 16:55.900
But that's kind of like being the tallest midget.

16:55.900 --> 16:56.960
Yeah, exactly.

17:00.200 --> 17:03.960
Since Strom is the Kodak Nazi, we'll just sort of choose this one for him.

17:03.960 --> 17:07.020
I'm a Kodak Nazi now, in addition to being a spelling and grammar Nazi.

17:12.920 --> 17:13.980
It's a compliment.

17:15.220 --> 17:23.680
So anyway, basically, there are many different codecs that you can use to encode voice with Asterisk.

17:23.680 --> 17:27.540
And we're going to go over what they are, what they do, and what they sound like.

17:28.920 --> 17:32.280
In order to understand codecs, you need to understand how digital audio works.

17:32.280 --> 17:34.760
How many of you don't really know how digital audio works?

17:36.480 --> 17:37.360
Okay.

17:37.360 --> 17:41.060
Well, I don't want to see too many hands go up, so I'll kind of go over this quickly then.

17:41.260 --> 17:46.120
Basically, you have an analog waveform, and this is divided up into a number of little slices of time.

17:47.260 --> 17:53.700
So you have an analog bunch of different slices of analog audio.

17:53.820 --> 17:58.080
These are pulses of analog amplitudes called pulse-amplitude modulation.

17:58.140 --> 18:00.300
So you've got time division, but it's still analog.

18:00.780 --> 18:06.640
What happens is these values are then quantized into digital values.

18:06.640 --> 18:08.140
This is called pulse-code modulation.

18:08.280 --> 18:12.400
PCM is what you use when you talk on a telephone, on a regular telephone call.

18:12.400 --> 18:14.700
And it's also what you hear when you play a CD.

18:16.440 --> 18:20.680
So what happens is the values are quantized between 1 and negative 1.

18:20.680 --> 18:26.740
So depending on how much resolution you want to give to the values, you can specify more.

18:26.740 --> 18:35.060
The way mu law works, what mu law is, is the companding scheme that the analog telephone network uses.

18:35.060 --> 18:39.680
Whenever you make a regular long-distance call or a regular local call, you're using mu law.

18:39.800 --> 18:45.900
It's 64 kilobits per second, and what happens is it's a logarithmic scale.

18:45.900 --> 18:54.260
So more resolution is given to the lower amplitudes, where most of the voice frequency is, in order to give you the impression of 16-bit audio.

18:54.740 --> 19:02.440
What actually happens is it's only 8-bit audio, but it sounds far closer to 16 because of the companding.

19:03.680 --> 19:08.820
But however, for some people, 64 kilobits per second is still way too high for bandwidth.

19:08.920 --> 19:16.080
They're greedy, or they have less bandwidth, and they want to be able to send phone calls over less bandwidth.

19:16.080 --> 19:20.200
So there are many different ways of compressing this already compressed audio.

19:21.860 --> 19:28.800
Adaptive differential pulse code modulation, well first, differential pulse code modulation, uses 4 bits to describe the change from the last value.

19:28.800 --> 19:33.020
What mu law does, and PCM does, is it actually describes each value individually.

19:33.020 --> 19:36.600
This one it says, you know, go down 4, go up 2, and so on.

19:37.300 --> 19:42.280
Regardless of the original source resolution, regular DPCM just uses 4 bits.

19:42.760 --> 19:52.420
Adaptive differential PCM uses a varying number of bits, depending on the complexity of that sample, but it's still 32 kilobits per second, so they have to scrim somewhere.

19:52.960 --> 19:56.120
It sounds almost like mu law, but not quite.

19:57.220 --> 20:02.540
There's also LPC, and this is the basis for a lot of what you find in cell phone codecs.

20:02.720 --> 20:09.820
It's linear predictive coding, and it basically, it's pretty complex, but the basic thing is that it uses vocoders to compress speech.

20:09.920 --> 20:18.140
And it tends to work pretty well for speech, but there's a lot of electronic music nowadays that has the vocoders that have the singing synthesizer effect in the song.

20:18.240 --> 20:22.820
So, actually if you listen closely to talking on a cell phone, you'll begin to hear that.

20:24.120 --> 20:28.540
And you can actually use all these codecs with Asterisk and VoIP.

20:29.620 --> 20:35.260
So, again, voice on the PSTN is 64 kilobits per second, synchronous bandwidth for wireline telephones.

20:35.580 --> 20:46.420
North American uses mu law companding, most of the rest of the world uses a-law companding, which is almost identical, but slightly different, but for all intents and purposes, they sound exactly the same.

20:47.000 --> 20:56.080
If you're in 64 kilobits, if you're doing something called bit-probing, which is basically to give you supervision in band on one of the digital channels, you get 56 kilobits per second.

20:56.080 --> 20:57.900
But for the most part, it sounds the same.

20:58.380 --> 21:03.380
On mobile phones, you only get 4 to 13 kilobits per second for your voice.

21:03.420 --> 21:05.780
Which is why mobile phones sound so horrible.

21:08.160 --> 21:11.460
So, speech compression does have a lot of costs.

21:11.460 --> 21:16.740
First off, if you're running it on your Asterisk box, you have to transcode from mu law to the codec.

21:16.740 --> 21:20.300
And in order to be able to hear it, you have to transcode back from the codec to mu law.

21:20.660 --> 21:23.700
So, there's an increased CPU load that's required.

21:23.700 --> 21:37.160
That box that does 790 simultaneous calls, if you have it do GSM or one of the lower bandwidth codecs, I think that drops down to maybe 100 simultaneous calls.

21:38.120 --> 21:42.120
There's no guarantee that two pieces of equipment will speak the same codecs.

21:42.120 --> 21:50.920
A lot of times, the Seporas speak mu law and then G.726, I think.

21:50.920 --> 21:52.640
And then some of the other codecs.

21:52.920 --> 21:55.000
But , yes.

21:56.940 --> 22:00.840
But, you know, I think we're going to have to keep track of whether this is on or off.

22:04.800 --> 22:06.240
Thank you.

22:06.540 --> 22:09.580
But I think the EECSY only speaks mu law.

22:10.400 --> 22:13.540
And there are things that just speak certain codecs, and it's a mess.

22:13.540 --> 22:18.180
I mean, there's no guarantee that any pieces of equipment will be able to talk to each other unless you use mu law.

22:18.660 --> 22:21.620
Some codecs require licensing.

22:21.900 --> 22:23.100
Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention.

22:23.100 --> 22:27.080
If you're using non-standard fit rates for some of these codecs, then you're really in trouble.

22:27.340 --> 22:29.860
Some codecs require you to pay licenses to use them.

22:29.860 --> 22:33.360
There's a codec that... actually, we'll get into that in another slide.

22:33.460 --> 22:35.800
And codecs don't handle all kinds of sounds well.

22:36.840 --> 22:39.840
People will generally have trouble understanding certain words.

22:39.840 --> 22:46.660
A friend of mine says that every time he calls up a restaurant to make a reservation, they cannot understand the word north.

22:47.260 --> 22:50.780
It's always interpreted as something else from his mobile phone.

22:50.780 --> 22:52.620
No one ever gets north right.

22:53.440 --> 23:02.020
It's difficult to understand anyone who has poor diction, because these are designed under the assumption that people who are using them tend to enunciate well.

23:02.020 --> 23:06.620
And music on hold in codec land is absolute torture.

23:06.960 --> 23:09.300
You can gouge your eyes out if you really want to.

23:09.300 --> 23:12.440
I mean, I want to do that every time I'm on hold on my mobile phone.

23:16.230 --> 23:18.490
It is that bad sometimes.

23:18.650 --> 23:22.670
There's one we'll demonstrate that is that bad.

23:22.670 --> 23:24.930
There's a documented case in Arkansas.

23:26.430 --> 23:29.130
Apologies to anyone from Arkansas here.

23:32.390 --> 23:33.490
Here's the benefits.

23:33.490 --> 23:34.970
Each call uses less bandwidth.

23:34.970 --> 23:36.450
That's it.

23:37.710 --> 23:41.730
I wish there were more, because that slide looks really empty, but that's it.

23:43.730 --> 23:45.630
Here's what Asterisk supports.

23:45.630 --> 23:49.810
G.711, which is 64 kilobit per second ULA or ALAW companding.

23:50.170 --> 23:53.790
G.726, which is 32 kilobit per second ADPCM.

23:54.070 --> 24:02.670
G.729, which is 8 kilobit per second CSACELP, which is Conjugate Structure and Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction.

24:02.670 --> 24:05.870
That requires a license from Digium to purchase.

24:06.450 --> 24:08.730
We're going to demonstrate that codec later.

24:08.910 --> 24:16.470
Just in order for me to be able to call Ratchet's box and have one telephone conversation over the codec, we each had to pay $10.

24:17.950 --> 24:24.030
That's only for one call, so if you want to have more than one call using this codec, $10 a call for the licenses.

24:25.850 --> 24:27.490
Not per instance.

24:27.490 --> 24:29.950
Yeah, simultaneous calls.

24:29.950 --> 24:35.810
So if you only buy five licenses, you cannot have more than five simultaneous calls running on that codec.

24:36.050 --> 24:40.230
So if it were $10 a call, I think no one would use this thing.

24:40.230 --> 24:44.010
It would be like being back in those days.

24:44.010 --> 24:46.050
Or if it was developed by Microsoft.

24:46.770 --> 24:51.750
Here's the Internet Low Bandwidth Codec, which is a 13.3 kilobit per second linear prediction coding.

24:51.750 --> 24:53.350
This is what Skype uses.

24:53.350 --> 24:55.350
I mean, I've heard people rave about Skype.

24:55.350 --> 24:55.810
I hear it.

24:55.810 --> 24:57.390
I hear it just like ILBC.

24:58.630 --> 25:01.530
There's also Speaks, which is an open source codec.

25:01.530 --> 25:04.050
I think it's based on like the Ogg Vorbis stuff.

25:04.330 --> 25:08.010
And that's also 13.3 kilobit per second codec-sided linear prediction.

25:08.330 --> 25:15.090
And finally, for those of you who are on dial-up, there's LPC10, which is 2.4 kilobit per second.

25:15.230 --> 25:18.350
It sounds more ghastly than you can possibly imagine.

25:20.730 --> 25:22.230
Yes, that's the one.

25:22.990 --> 25:31.790
So in order to do a comparison of all these codecs, we figured we'd play some audio for you using each of the codecs.

25:31.790 --> 25:37.250
And so I decided, you know, I could do just talking, but that would get boring after about 25 seconds.

25:37.250 --> 25:43.570
So as proof that you can find anything on Craigslist, I found this song that this band let us use for free.

25:43.570 --> 25:51.190
So apologies if it's not up to your musical standard or your musical taste, but it's free, so be happy.

25:51.190 --> 25:52.170
I like it.

25:52.170 --> 25:53.250
I like it, too.

25:53.250 --> 25:57.630
It gets stuck in my head every time I hear it, and it's really annoying when he uses this version.

25:57.630 --> 25:58.230
Yes.

26:00.890 --> 26:04.070
Wait, so let me, um, let me cue it up here.

26:13.420 --> 26:14.140
Okay.

28:29.030 --> 28:31.850
If they ever get a recording contract, buy their album.

28:31.850 --> 28:33.610
We promise we'll give them a bargain.

28:33.610 --> 28:34.370
Yeah, we promise.

28:34.370 --> 28:40.830
Also, if you really like the song, I think there's a copy on your asterisk, not on your asterisk, on your Defcon CD.

28:40.830 --> 28:48.550
Also on your Defcon CD, there's the full copy of that song in every codec we just demonstrated, so you can listen to them and compare for yourself.

28:48.550 --> 28:51.990
We won't be responsible if you listen to the whole thing in LPC 10.

28:52.370 --> 28:53.030
Yeah.

28:54.650 --> 29:07.570
So let's talk about getting Asterisk to talk to the real phone network, because this is all fun and cool, but it's going to be kind of limited in use if you can't talk to, you know, your mobile phone or your mother or somebody on the street.

29:09.030 --> 29:17.130
There are various providers that, um, that you can use to terminate the public telephone network, and we're going to go into one of them.

29:17.130 --> 29:18.210
It's called Nuphone.

29:18.510 --> 29:21.370
Nuphone, uh, well, you know more about Nuphone than I do.

29:21.370 --> 29:22.190
Why don't you tell them?

29:26.770 --> 29:35.010
The plus about Nuphone is that they have cheap rates, not as cheap as some other voice-over ID providers, but pretty decent rates.

29:35.410 --> 29:37.350
They're very geared toward Asterisk.

29:37.350 --> 29:45.070
I believe they support this only under a nice public high-pride, saying, you know, I want to be assisted by, you know, a supporter or some other ADA.

29:45.450 --> 29:56.450
One of the things that I like about them, and at least my experience with my first provider, is that you can set your caller ID outcomes, which has some interesting, you know, applications to it.

29:56.450 --> 29:57.710
I'll cover that later.

29:58.050 --> 30:04.310
Um, and also the really cool thing about Nuphone, and I think it's their best feature, is they have insanely cheap provisioning.

30:04.670 --> 30:10.930
I never thought anywhere in my life I would ever have to find 800 numbers for my name, but I do.

30:11.550 --> 30:15.490
I, seriously, I click them and they send you an email saying, here's your 800 numbers.

30:15.490 --> 30:23.230
You can actually do vanity 800 numbers for them, like if we wanted to buy 800 Asterisks, I don't know how many characters it is.

30:23.530 --> 30:25.510
I've forgotten how many 800 numbers I own.

30:25.510 --> 30:32.950
Anyway, it takes a little longer for that, and they charge you a fee, but, you know, for any old 800 number that you want, it's just, you know, poof, it's yours.

30:33.390 --> 30:34.750
They're very easygoing.

30:34.830 --> 30:44.750
When I first set up my account with them, I'm not sure how they do that, but when I first set up my account with them, I said, oh, you know, we tell you, you know, we send you some money, what happens when that money's out, are you going to shut off my service?

30:44.750 --> 30:49.690
He said, no, we'll just send you a reminder email, you know, we'll just, you know, send it off.

30:49.690 --> 30:52.450
You won't turn off your service or anything, we'll just send you some money.

30:53.610 --> 30:56.510
They also have something called caller ID number for delivery.

30:56.510 --> 31:00.430
How many people are familiar with SS7 and the difference between CPN and CID?

31:01.550 --> 31:02.750
Oh, good amount of people do.

31:02.790 --> 31:06.790
Anyway, CPN is sort of like caller ID on steroids.

31:08.170 --> 31:10.710
It's a little more speedy than caller ID.

31:10.710 --> 31:14.070
You can actually do 9 times out of 10 unless you know what you're doing.

31:14.130 --> 31:17.830
CPN is usually very free-flow and you can't change it.

31:18.150 --> 31:21.110
Of course, you know, you're probably laughing at me.

31:22.210 --> 31:26.730
It's, caller ID on steroids is a little more free-flow and it's harder to mistake it, theoretically.

31:27.430 --> 31:31.990
They also have, quite recently, they have a blocker on deletion projects.

31:31.990 --> 31:41.090
Now, for the longest time, what would happen is, you know, like, your call would not go through or you'd get an intercept saying, like, the number you've been calling has been changed, so and so.

31:41.090 --> 31:43.130
It wouldn't actually work like that.

31:43.930 --> 31:49.690
And for someone like me, who's phone-free and enjoys calling intercepts, it was a bit of a bummer.

31:49.990 --> 31:56.030
But, you know, a couple weeks ago, oh, a couple months ago, by now, they actually turned it on.

31:56.030 --> 32:07.110
I called with a payphone out in Boston and I got, you know, I'm sorry, the phone number you've reached is not accepted.

32:07.110 --> 32:12.090
I literally picked up the phone and called him and said, who funds this proper conversation?

32:12.090 --> 32:13.950
And he was jumping out like a sleight of hand.

32:13.950 --> 32:15.050
He was too gross on the net.

32:17.290 --> 32:19.630
It was very exciting for me.

32:20.710 --> 32:32.850
CONSTED, directed for dial numbers, which are basically numbers you would call on, you would set up on the PSTN, so mom, dad, you know, your sister, someone who doesn't have an asterisk can call you and actually reach you on your woodline.

32:32.850 --> 32:39.290
The only numbers they have are in Michigan, which for me, I guess, is okay because no one really calls me on woodlines besides him.

32:40.150 --> 32:44.030
And they're also not too freak-friendly, despite being very easygoing.

32:44.030 --> 32:51.590
For example, during Strong and Lucky 55's presentation last year on freaking in the age of voice over IP, was it?

32:51.590 --> 32:53.150
Yeah, I think it was something like that.

32:53.270 --> 32:57.690
They sent them a cease and desist letter saying, no, they didn't send me a cease and desist letter.

32:57.730 --> 32:59.590
Who did they send a cease and desist letter?

32:59.590 --> 33:01.490
Was it not there yet?

33:01.570 --> 33:02.210
It's not there yet.

33:02.210 --> 33:02.950
Stand up.

33:03.770 --> 33:04.430
Here's Mr.

33:04.430 --> 33:05.110
Cease and Desist.

33:05.110 --> 33:11.670
This is the man who's on Jeremy McNamara's shit list.

33:11.670 --> 33:17.130
He basically said, you know, if you do this, I will terminate your account and ban you for life from New Phone.

33:19.230 --> 33:20.870
I haven't heard a peep out of him.

33:21.670 --> 33:23.270
Okay, we're just going to...

33:24.270 --> 33:26.290
Oh, they stopped carrying CPM this week.

33:27.370 --> 33:28.230
Oh, great.

33:28.230 --> 33:31.750
This is what we did.

33:42.560 --> 33:45.320
We used to like Astrolink until this weekend.

33:49.220 --> 33:57.840
Astrolink, for the most part, for me, has been reliable, although this week has been a whole other bag of forms which we'll get into later.

33:58.380 --> 34:02.700
You can get your inbound termination via toll-free numbers.

34:02.700 --> 34:04.380
And, of course, AMI-II.

34:04.380 --> 34:06.640
How many of you do not know what AMI-II is?

34:08.500 --> 34:10.860
AMI-II is the class of service.

34:10.860 --> 34:17.880
So you can tell whether your calls are coming in from an AMI phone or a mobile phone or a pay phone, what type of pay phone.

34:17.880 --> 34:20.340
You can see whether your calls are coming in from a person or two.

34:21.600 --> 34:24.220
And Astrolink does also proper call completion.

34:24.480 --> 34:30.020
So if you get the PPM at the port and your numbers have changed, you can do that.

34:30.020 --> 34:33.860
The con of the AMI-II interface is that it's a little bit clunky.

34:35.280 --> 34:36.960
It's actually gotten better.

34:36.960 --> 34:40.560
I was actually able to use it with Firefox for the first time this week.

34:40.740 --> 34:45.060
But I had to try it for a while, so it didn't quite work right with Firefox.

34:46.140 --> 34:52.200
And right now, at least, they're experiencing each two different problems with some customers, namely us.

34:53.360 --> 34:55.160
This is why we don't like them anymore.

34:55.160 --> 35:00.000
But we'll get into our beef with Astrolink later.

35:00.860 --> 35:04.900
There's also Voice Calls Connect, which I use to do my inbound calls.

35:05.120 --> 35:08.120
They give you a local numbering in almost every center you want.

35:08.120 --> 35:11.280
You get unlimited internet minutes on inbound EECS calls.

35:11.620 --> 35:14.340
And you have inbound numbers for a large number of great centers.

35:14.340 --> 35:16.160
And it's also called a proper call program.

35:16.160 --> 35:22.580
The problem is, it's one of the most expensive EECS providers for outbound information.

35:23.800 --> 35:26.220
New Phone is about two cents a minute.

35:26.280 --> 35:28.360
Astrolink is also two cents a minute.

35:28.360 --> 35:32.840
Voice Calls Connect is, I think, it used to be 2.9 cents a minute.

35:32.840 --> 35:37.420
Then they dropped it down to the low, low price of 2.4 cents a minute or something like that.

35:37.420 --> 35:38.500
Wow, that's not ideal.

35:40.820 --> 35:46.180
I guess when you go landline long distance, it's five cents a minute, like my inbound call.

35:46.180 --> 35:47.540
There's something else you can totally keep.

35:47.540 --> 35:51.880
When you've got providers that do 1.3 cents a minute, you're getting better.

35:54.100 --> 36:02.900
And the other thing is that inbound numbers with Voice Calls Connect, my number that's on my business card is a Voice Calls Connect number.

36:02.900 --> 36:07.860
And for some reason, usually I have to go to a menu.

36:07.860 --> 36:09.280
You know, thank you for calling for strong cards.

36:09.280 --> 36:10.480
My PBX is strong.

36:10.480 --> 36:11.300
I like to be clear.

36:11.300 --> 36:13.180
I like to show you that I appreciate what you're doing.

36:15.220 --> 36:19.360
And I had someone trying to call me, and they kept pressing 2, and it would just hang up on them.

36:19.360 --> 36:21.800
Because my PBX never heard the 2.

36:21.920 --> 36:26.700
So I had to make a move directly to my mobile phone this weekend.

36:27.880 --> 36:29.140
Apparently, this is the first sentence.

36:29.140 --> 36:32.380
This is the first sentence that happened to me, but some people are having major issues with it.

36:32.380 --> 36:35.160
So if you're really unlucky, you're totally screwed.

36:36.740 --> 36:37.560
Here's VoiceJet.

36:37.560 --> 36:38.400
It's really cheap.

36:38.400 --> 36:39.800
It's 1.3 cents a minute.

36:41.840 --> 36:45.020
Actually, I think it's 1.29 now.

36:45.200 --> 36:45.680
Oh, is it?

36:45.680 --> 36:46.240
Wow.

36:46.520 --> 36:48.420
A whole mil when they dropped it.

36:49.020 --> 36:50.200
Hey, it adds up.

36:50.200 --> 36:50.760
Yeah, it does.

36:50.760 --> 36:51.320
It does.

36:51.720 --> 36:54.180
Caller ID delivery is unreliable with VoiceJet.

36:54.180 --> 36:58.700
You oftentimes get the number where I found the call, instead of the number that you set it to.

36:58.840 --> 37:02.880
There's no e-mail service that's appropriate, and there's no proper call completion.

37:02.880 --> 37:12.360
If you call a number that's been disconnected, and the phone company that you're giving it to says, this number has been disconnected, all you'll hear is the phone ringing and ringing and ringing.

37:12.640 --> 37:18.320
So you'll never know why your mother has changed her phone number in your situation.

37:19.820 --> 37:21.540
She doesn't love me!

37:24.740 --> 37:25.740
Exactly, see?

37:26.500 --> 37:28.860
It's because we all use LPCs now.

37:29.860 --> 37:31.880
There's also a company called Broadvoice.

37:32.200 --> 37:34.600
They have cheap PIDs in most race centers.

37:42.340 --> 37:44.140
They're pretty much run by phone freaks.

37:44.140 --> 37:49.860
In fact, when you sign up, you have them send you the kit with the ATA and everything.

37:49.860 --> 37:56.500
They also send you this little pin, which is this logo, with the red circle and the slash through it.

37:56.660 --> 38:00.020
I actually found out this weekend they also do T-shirts.

38:00.200 --> 38:06.960
Yes, at least one person here at DEF CON is walking around with a Broadvoice pin, with the Bell logo and the slash through it.

38:06.980 --> 38:10.400
So if you hear that person, please stand up and get some T-shirts.

38:11.760 --> 38:12.660
He's not here?

38:12.660 --> 38:13.260
What the hell?

38:13.260 --> 38:14.180
They lose.

38:14.440 --> 38:15.340
You lose.

38:15.720 --> 38:17.920
We were going to give you just like $100,000.

38:18.700 --> 38:20.600
They were going to get the payphone, too.

38:22.220 --> 38:27.200
Oh, and the other cool thing is that you get a caller ID with name for inbound calls.

38:27.200 --> 38:33.400
Most of these other carriers will just deliver the number, but these people will actually do a name level and deliver the name for you.

38:33.400 --> 38:40.860
So we'll see not just that 311-555-2368 is calling you, but that it's from Mabel's fish restaurant or something.

38:41.260 --> 38:43.280
The problem is that it's SIF only.

38:43.320 --> 38:50.960
So if you want to do EECS termination or if you're trying to firewall or something, you've got to do some sort of EECS proxy if you want it to be reliable.

38:51.360 --> 38:53.160
They're prone to service outages.

38:53.340 --> 38:57.040
I've got, you know, my dial type is the 1-plus-8-4-7 number.

38:57.040 --> 38:58.340
It just goes over broad voice.

39:02.120 --> 39:03.960
But sometimes those things can work.

39:04.360 --> 39:06.980
Phone support is kind of slow, although it is 24-7.

39:06.980 --> 39:10.520
So I guess if you call at, you know, 3 a.m., they will answer like that.

39:10.760 --> 39:12.000
No, they won't.

39:13.400 --> 39:14.340
Yeah, I try.

39:14.340 --> 39:15.540
They'll have to wake up first.

39:15.540 --> 39:17.600
Then they'll, you know, drink their coffee.

39:18.700 --> 39:21.520
And then the other thing is CNN delivery is also unreliable.

39:21.520 --> 39:25.560
So , you know, caller ID name tends to work, but it doesn't work all the time.

39:26.740 --> 39:30.500
So now let's get into building your asterisk network.

39:31.680 --> 39:33.940
Why don't you explain enum, Ben?

39:34.020 --> 39:37.040
Okay,

39:40.520 --> 39:41.400
Brandon.

39:44.510 --> 39:52.470
Enum was the first way to actually translate code numbers over to URLs in SIF.

39:52.470 --> 39:54.270
It's based on DNS.

39:54.550 --> 39:56.330
It allows you to read numbers and query.

39:56.450 --> 40:01.730
And what it does is it basically bypasses the public switch telephone network.

40:02.290 --> 40:06.670
So, you know, I know that 3-1-1-5-5-5-2-3-6-8 is a voice number.

40:06.670 --> 40:07.470
How can I do that?

40:07.470 --> 40:08.090
I don't know.

40:08.990 --> 40:15.390
So the type I can use is supposed to be used by telecom companies.

40:15.390 --> 40:17.450
However, there's a program out there.

40:17.510 --> 40:18.730
I think this is the largest one.

40:18.730 --> 40:19.730
I may be wrong.

40:19.750 --> 40:22.050
It's called 2-1-2-3-4.org.

40:22.050 --> 40:24.010
It's a free do-it-yourself solution.

40:24.010 --> 40:30.610
What you do is you register your number in 2-1-2-3-4-5-5-2-3-6-8, and you register it to a URL.

40:30.610 --> 40:32.370
And then someone queries their enum server

40:35.750 --> 40:37.410
, then, over the Internet.

40:42.720 --> 40:53.590
But then you realize that local exchanges can't access 2-1-1-5 numbers, and how many exchanges you've got can't access 2-1-2-3-4-5-6-8.

40:53.670 --> 40:56.410
I think in an area code, there's a maximum limit.

40:56.410 --> 40:59.370
We've always reserved 3-1-2-3-4-7-2-2 million numbers.

40:59.370 --> 41:01.710
And Los Angeles has how many area codes now?

41:02.070 --> 41:03.610
So, a lot.

41:03.710 --> 41:08.730
They also have 78 million special PSTN services.

41:08.730 --> 41:10.330
So you're essentially...

41:10.330 --> 41:20.500
you can offer free termination of $800, which is basically a PSTN termination service.

41:20.500 --> 41:22.700
You can use this, and you can dial in your numbers.

41:25.340 --> 41:27.200
How e-mail works...

41:28.060 --> 41:29.460
I left it in my car.

41:31.720 --> 41:32.580
Everything's in my car.

41:32.580 --> 41:39.300
Okay, if we all pay attention to the top, basically, I'm at the top of my phone, and I want to dial 3-1-1-5-5-5-2-3-6-8.

41:40.080 --> 41:40.820
Oh, yeah.

41:42.240 --> 41:44.260
Touchpad, marvels of modern technology.

41:44.260 --> 41:45.640
Yes, latest thing in Virginia.

41:46.460 --> 41:47.440
I'm at this telephone.

41:47.440 --> 41:50.100
I basically want to dial 3-1-1-5-5-5-2-3-6-8.

41:50.100 --> 41:53.040
So I pick up my handset, dial it, and talk to my DVX.

41:53.040 --> 41:56.320
It says, okay, I want to dial 3-1-1-5-5-5-2-3-6-8.

41:56.320 --> 41:57.460
Connect me there somehow.

41:57.460 --> 42:00.500
So what I set up my DVX to do is talk to a medium circle.

42:00.960 --> 42:05.100
And it says, hey, do you know what 3-1-1-5-5-5-2-3-6-8 is?

42:05.320 --> 42:07.440
And it says, yes or no.

42:07.440 --> 42:10.660
And essentially, in this example, it says, yes, it's a bell at telephone.com.

42:10.660 --> 42:19.020
So it registers that to my DVX, at which point my DVX goes, ooh, I guess I'll go over to the internet.com rather than picking up a local line.

42:19.020 --> 42:24.980
And it goes over the internet, and I dial 3-1-1-5-5-5-2-3-6-8 down here, which they also don't do at 3-1-1-5-5-5-2-3-6-8.

42:24.980 --> 42:27.480
They're also completely bypassing the BSDN.

42:28.780 --> 42:30.260
Email is a very...

42:30.260 --> 42:32.300
has a lot of problems in my opinion.

42:32.300 --> 42:34.900
It's a very top-down way of looking at things.

42:34.900 --> 42:37.920
It's centrally managed, centrally served, and centrally centralized.

42:37.920 --> 42:47.420
Basically, they wanted developers exactly like DNS and have, you know, 15 root servers all over the world, which is great, but no one actually has done it yet.

42:49.960 --> 42:54.440
And it's not being used by any BSDN developers.

42:54.520 --> 42:55.680
As far as we know.

42:56.300 --> 42:58.420
Does someone want to tell me otherwise?

43:00.800 --> 43:03.940
My idea is how logically they save you money, you know.

43:03.940 --> 43:10.940
I can charge you 5 cents a minute for, you know, and it's nowhere near where it would last.

43:11.300 --> 43:17.820
We're working towards a really nice solution that's starting to get there, but at the same point, you know...

43:28.880 --> 43:30.240
Something like that, yeah.

43:30.240 --> 43:32.160
So last April, what someone set out with

43:45.290 --> 43:48.110
is a fully peer-to-peer E164 solution.

43:48.110 --> 43:48.330
It's a fully peer-to-peer E164 solution .

43:48.330 --> 43:53.050
Basically , you know, it sets up

43:57.400 --> 43:59.520
your own telephone network for fresh for

44:04.530 --> 44:05.410
your telephone company.

44:05.410 --> 44:07.670
You know,

44:22.380 --> 44:24.200
5, 5, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4.

44:26.640 --> 44:45.180
So, we've got this DBS here, and it talks to this node over here, and what this node does, it only has one node, and what it does is it reaches that node, and that node talks to only this one, and it reaches the DBS node, it's got a dial, 3, 5, 5, 2, 5,

44:45.180 --> 44:58.710
6, at which point, it scrolls back and says, hey, 411 service, this is all it.

45:03.480 --> 45:12.800
Basically, it's a very good peer-to-peer setup, which has some problems with Dundee, in my opinion, also.

45:13.040 --> 45:33.120
To be honest, I mean, essentially, what I could start doing is I could start advertising, hey, all the numbers to the White House, send them to me, so I can, you know, start World War III, scalability, we're not sure how it's going to be still relatively small,

45:33.120 --> 45:36.600
but I've never seen a product like Nutella.

45:36.600 --> 45:38.340
Look how many problems we had with that.

45:38.820 --> 45:46.960
It's not officially a standard yet, we just submitted it to IETF, but as we all know, standards cost money, and these people don't have it.

45:48.080 --> 45:53.640
Right now, it's only officially in DBS, and we can submit it,

45:59.810 --> 46:10.850
and run it against 109, or 107, or whatever, and get some support in it, and in my opinion, it works fine, and also in my opinion, I think the eye of the beholder should be nice.

46:14.600 --> 46:19.920
Quality assurance, what quality

46:23.200 --> 46:39.660
assurance do you charge for your for your phone call going out over your WAN, for example, I don't have quality assurance for my WAN, or for example, for my WAN.

46:41.620 --> 46:42.900
There's two ways of doing it.

46:42.900 --> 46:43.720
Can we do this?

46:45.340 --> 46:47.160
No, no.

46:47.500 --> 46:48.760
Okay, we'll do it that way.

46:51.670 --> 46:54.370
Sorry, I forgot to dial something in my PBX earlier.

46:55.730 --> 46:58.050
Basically, there are two ways you can use QoS here.

46:58.050 --> 47:12.090
There's priority QoS, which can give you a way back to priority over any other factor, where you can basically reserve your WAN and turn it away and get the rest of it for it.

47:12.090 --> 47:15.730
But for everything that's not QoS, you get the rest of the WAN.

47:16.750 --> 47:21.210
I'm sure there's more about that, but I'm a phone person, not a router person.

47:21.570 --> 47:25.970
Many residential routers are now voice aware and will do the sort of thing right out of the box.

47:26.490 --> 47:42.040
And you can also if you're a control freak, or if you want to do it on a larger scale, then you can connect your router and say , hey, I've got a super router phone and I've sort of gotten working and I'm definitely not a super router person.

47:42.920 --> 47:47.620
So now let's get into the cool part of what you can do with Asterisk.

47:47.660 --> 47:54.260
And by the way, if you're watching on TV in the hotel, we've got a special thing coming up for you.

47:56.580 --> 47:58.040
Asterisk Gateway Interface.

47:58.080 --> 47:59.300
Do you want to talk about that?

48:03.360 --> 48:04.900
Experts on certain subjects?

48:06.640 --> 48:08.040
Yes, Tag Team, exactly.

48:09.820 --> 48:10.260
So

48:15.660 --> 48:16.540
, Asterisk Gateway Interface.

48:16.540 --> 48:20.680
What it is, is an interface for adding functionality to Asterisk.

48:20.680 --> 48:23.000
It basically uses standard in and standard out.

48:23.000 --> 48:24.280
And it's very cross-language.

48:24.280 --> 48:32.180
You infer, you see, you PHP, Lisp, PCL, anything that uses standard in and standard out, you can use it.

48:32.600 --> 48:37.980
And basically, since Asterisk is the best thing since sliced bread, I find AGI to be the best thing since sliced bread.

48:38.500 --> 48:41.960
Because you can basically do anything you want with it given enough time.

48:42.440 --> 48:44.420
Here's a simple AGI for a minute.

48:44.420 --> 48:45.140
Wow!

48:46.100 --> 48:52.180
What it is, is basically, I don't know if you can actually see it up on the screen, I apologize.

48:52.960 --> 48:54.340
What it does, is basically...

48:54.340 --> 48:55.780
It's not in your Dendy notebook?

48:57.840 --> 48:58.960
Oh, great.

49:00.020 --> 49:02.720
This is what apparently electricity parts don't work.

49:04.240 --> 49:08.760
So, basically, a lot of my presentation of this part hasn't been done.

49:11.260 --> 49:17.900
Starting from here, basically, what it is, is start on a standard in point, standard in and standard out.

49:17.900 --> 49:25.100
Basically, what Asterisk does is it reads all the variables in and checks all of it.

49:25.100 --> 49:36.780
It checks to make sure, 200 times per day, 5 times per day, that we're not sure about the quality and it means that you just keep on going.

49:38.400 --> 49:47.600
Basically, what happens is after you read all the variables in and make sure they're OK, what it does is, it streams a file that says, your caller ID is...

49:47.600 --> 49:51.220
and it says, you recheck your caller ID.

49:51.560 --> 49:53.400
So, here's how it works.

49:53.680 --> 49:55.320
I've backed up here, but

50:02.070 --> 50:07.270
the one we're really interested in is AGI caller ID, which says 311-555-2368.

50:07.470 --> 50:12.830
And then it says, after it's done feeding all the variables, it says 200 results here, it means I'm done in 41 minutes.

50:12.830 --> 50:16.470
It says, OK, stream file, you know, AGI caller ID.

50:19.790 --> 50:22.250
Then it says, OK, I'm done, what do you want me to do?

50:22.410 --> 50:32.530
OK, stream pages, 311-555-2368, AGI command that asterisk understands, and it goes, you know, says 3, 1, 1,

50:35.720 --> 50:37.720
200 results here, OK, I'm done.

50:37.760 --> 50:40.400
And at which point it says, hang up, I'm done.

50:41.500 --> 50:46.240
It takes it back to me, sends back, you know, 200 results here, I'm done now, it hangs up.

50:50.060 --> 50:53.180
Yes, exactly, AGI caller ID readback, ENAC.

50:56.620 --> 50:59.940
Now, that's a lot of work to do in what's

51:03.030 --> 51:07.950
called asterisk AGI, which is a Perl module for asterisk in writing AGI scripts.

51:08.270 --> 51:10.590
It simplifies a lot of AGI programming.

51:10.590 --> 51:15.450
Essentially, it takes out a lot of the dirty work and takes away everyone's doing the work that you don't have to.

51:15.450 --> 51:19.950
It allows the AGI to control the simple object interface in Perl.

51:20.210 --> 51:32.430
The problem is, I subscribed to the mailing list a few months ago, and it's been dead silent for the last few months ago, and someone said, is this mailing list still active?

51:32.550 --> 51:34.650
At which point I'm going to be not able to work anymore.

51:34.870 --> 51:41.870
Maybe I should set up another thing, or maybe a few people should sign up to it and start using it yourselves.

51:42.410 --> 51:50.150
What it is, is it allows the AGI to easily integrate with Perl, which easily integrates with almost anything in the known universe.

51:50.230 --> 51:59.910
And it's available at asterisk.uniter.net which is a very strange German word for like the longest time.

52:00.230 --> 52:01.610
Here's the same program.

52:01.650 --> 52:03.770
As you can tell, it gets a lot easier.

52:03.770 --> 52:07.490
I think we can test this out at least 100% to about 10 lines or so.

52:07.590 --> 52:15.070
So this is, you know, it reads in, you know, starts up a new object called AGI.

52:15.270 --> 52:21.050
You know that entire, you know, 10 line thing, check the variables, make sure they're okay.

52:21.070 --> 52:22.210
It does it all automatically.

52:23.710 --> 52:30.690
And the other feature that the other one didn't have is you did not check whether or not the person had a caller ID in the first place.

52:31.250 --> 52:36.410
So you basically, if you didn't have a caller ID, you did a file file saying, the caller ID is, and then it would hang up.

52:36.410 --> 52:45.790
Or what this one does is it checks to see if your caller ID is, you know, what this would do if you didn't have a caller ID, it would just hang up on you.

52:46.010 --> 52:48.310
And as I say, wow, it's easier to do.

52:48.750 --> 52:49.070
It

52:52.260 --> 52:55.380
checks to see if your caller ID is on touch-tone.

52:55.900 --> 52:59.700
Basically, everyone knows how to use it, including your mom.

53:00.360 --> 53:02.900
However, you know, it's very limited on what you can do with it.

53:02.900 --> 53:09.200
For example, you have to use the sign-up function to use it, or, you know, you can only use it if you have five members.

53:09.200 --> 53:09.940
The

53:15.530 --> 53:17.970
XML, it's extensible.

53:18.570 --> 53:19.690
WebPXML is extensible.

53:19.690 --> 53:25.650
VoiceXML is basically an XML that allows for scripting with a voice interface.

53:25.650 --> 53:26.450
It's extensible.

53:26.450 --> 53:28.690
The problem with Asterisk is that it has no relatively

53:33.420 --> 53:42.240
new open-source program called Asterisk PDF, which says it has Asterisk CIFS.

53:43.040 --> 53:46.220
So I spent about two weeks trying to get this compiled.

53:46.220 --> 53:48.800
It's a high-resolution demonstration.

53:48.800 --> 53:51.340
There's also commercial offerings.

53:51.340 --> 53:54.920
For example, Microsoft has a new VXML program where

53:58.210 --> 54:05.150
there's, like, at least two or three commercial ones that I know of that are also free open-source.

54:05.650 --> 54:08.230
VXML is still, you know, you need to use

54:12.960 --> 54:13.460
.

54:31.420 --> 54:35.640
Think back to that Texas speech program you played with in, like, 1987.

54:37.020 --> 54:41.900
That program is called Cepstral.

54:41.900 --> 54:42.200
Cepstral is

54:47.520 --> 54:52.620
a free free -for-download free-for-download program that they've also announced

55:09.530 --> 55:11.450
however it's not free.

55:24.260 --> 55:25.580
Something like that.

55:25.740 --> 55:35.440
You can play with a free version of Cepstral, but it's also a sound file and every fifth or tenth word or something goes please register me.

55:36.380 --> 55:47.860
Yeah, and it is free for download , like you said, and you can make sure if you ever have, like, you know, one of the programs and you want to make sure that it works with your program you can set it up and, you know, you just have to do that please register me every time it works or something.

55:49.360 --> 55:51.460
The other thing for output is reports.

55:51.740 --> 55:53.440
You can get your stuff for free.

55:54.040 --> 55:58.400
The other person is Allison and she has huge support for Asterisk.

55:58.820 --> 56:02.740
It's for pay and she has lots of fan sayings available on the internet.

56:02.960 --> 56:08.240
Asterisk also comes with a whole ton of sayings and she says all sorts of crazy stuff in the LA area.

56:17.760 --> 56:28.920
A friend of mine actually just wanted to test her and so he sent her increasingly offensive scripts and I think he finally found her a little bit after...

56:28.920 --> 56:31.060
yeah, a long time.

56:33.100 --> 56:36.180
Well, maybe she'll read Richard Nixon's Social Security number, I don't know.

56:37.440 --> 56:37.960
Basically

56:44.600 --> 56:45.740
, we have a...

56:57.110 --> 56:59.810
I'm not a weather fan, my name is Ron.

57:01.870 --> 57:02.790
Phone!

57:03.630 --> 57:05.990
I'll show you my phone voice in a second.

57:37.730 --> 57:40.410
And now a demonstration by Scott Carlson that we actually do.

57:40.670 --> 57:43.830
Good afternoon.

57:43.830 --> 57:46.110
Thank you for calling DEF CON My Phone.

57:46.110 --> 57:48.550
Script getting tested, Blamer approved.

57:49.650 --> 57:52.410

To need feedback from DEF CON My Phone team, press 0.

57:59.010 --> 58:00.230
And so on.

58:04.530 --> 58:11.770
If any of you want to write down silly things on slips of paper and leave them up here, I'll do them for you.

58:11.770 --> 58:12.090
Here's

58:16.410 --> 58:19.690
a slightly more complex thing, this actually uses input and output.

58:20.150 --> 58:23.330
Basically, what it does is I've got three ways of doing it.

58:23.330 --> 58:31.910
One of those is using CGI, and basically it lets you forever wait for you to enter a file.

58:32.530 --> 58:34.570
Wait for you to enter a digit.

58:34.590 --> 58:37.450
Wait for it to say who's entered a digit.

58:37.450 --> 58:46.870
And what it says is after you enter a digit, wait for five seconds, and if you look at one, it says it has five words on it.

58:48.470 --> 58:50.630
If you enter two, it has seven words on it.

58:50.630 --> 58:52.130
If you enter three, it has a thousand words on it.

58:52.130 --> 58:53.190
This is really cool.

58:54.990 --> 58:55.790
Intermission!

58:59.650 --> 59:02.750
Okay, so we have some cool swag to give away.

59:10.350 --> 59:12.930
GGM has seen fit to give us props.

59:13.330 --> 59:24.030
Apparently, Charles has become very friendly with Mark Spencer, and he sent us very friendly So GGM sent us this whole box of really cool stuff.

59:24.030 --> 59:28.310
There's these little CDs with asterisks on them, and they're in the shape of an asterisk.

59:43.370 --> 59:45.170
There's asterisk stickers.

59:51.180 --> 59:55.820
Yes, if you put the sticker on your car, more people will want it.

59:58.080 --> 01:00:02.140
I also have bin racks here, because an old-school freak.com sticker isn't good.

01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:04.780
I have two very kick-ass sites.

01:00:04.780 --> 01:00:07.680
You see some of this in forums almost every day.

01:00:10.300 --> 01:00:12.120
Asterisk T-shirts.

01:00:15.100 --> 01:00:19.700
So I need four volunteers who want to come up here and dial phones.

01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:23.220
Actually, no.

01:00:23.220 --> 01:00:25.100
Let's have them answer questions.

01:00:25.560 --> 01:00:31.440
Name a pre-divestiture Bell operating company.

01:00:32.100 --> 01:00:35.060
Pre-divestiture, not 9X.

01:00:35.140 --> 01:00:36.460
Pre-divestiture?

01:00:37.060 --> 01:00:39.160
Pre-divestiture.

01:00:40.020 --> 01:00:42.060
Operating company.

01:00:45.080 --> 01:00:47.280
GTE was not a Bell company.

01:00:49.540 --> 01:00:51.080
I'm taking over now.

01:00:51.080 --> 01:00:54.340
Name a post-divestiture 9X regional Bell operating company.

01:00:54.720 --> 01:00:56.720
For example, someone already said it.

01:00:57.760 --> 01:00:59.320
Raise your hands, people.

01:00:59.720 --> 01:01:02.360
Come up.

01:01:14.270 --> 01:01:16.390
So, let me wind this thing out of the way.

01:01:26.570 --> 01:01:28.510
Each of you sit in front of a telephone.

01:01:31.610 --> 01:01:34.230
So, let me prop up this list in front of you here.

01:01:35.470 --> 01:01:44.210
This is a touch-tone speed dialing contest, and for some of you who were in the game area earlier, we kind of did this just to work the bugs out.

01:01:44.270 --> 01:01:56.050
So, basically, I have a list of numbers here that I've programmed into my PBX, and the person who dials these numbers the fastest and most accurately will bring my desk phone here and get a prize.

01:01:56.110 --> 01:01:57.950
So, let me set this list up here.

01:01:59.030 --> 01:02:00.750
Yeah, I'll explain the rules in just a second.

01:02:05.590 --> 01:02:10.850
Unfortunately, these don't do pulse dialing, otherwise we would do a switch-hook Can you all read that?

01:02:15.210 --> 01:02:16.050
Pardon?

01:02:16.050 --> 01:02:17.090
Sir, can you read that?

01:02:17.650 --> 01:02:20.150
Okay, so what you're going to do is you're going to pick a phone.

01:02:20.150 --> 01:02:23.170
Each phone is dialed one plus the area code plus the number.

01:02:23.350 --> 01:02:28.190
After one second, if you dial correctly, you'll hear another dial tone, dial the next number, and so on and so on.

01:02:28.190 --> 01:02:37.890
If you miss-dial a digit, say you dial two instead of one, you'll get a reorder tone after one second, at which point you will want to dial the number again.

01:02:38.230 --> 01:02:41.870
If you skip a digit, you'll hear nothing after one second.

01:02:41.870 --> 01:02:45.310
You may want to press a couple digits until you get a reorder.

01:02:45.310 --> 01:02:57.950
If you get a reorder that you can't break by dialing, if you get the reorder where you can't redial the number, there's rules, there's rules.

01:02:57.950 --> 01:03:03.730
If you get the reorder that does not go away when you start dialing digits, you screwed up and you have to hang up and start the beginning again.

01:03:04.270 --> 01:03:10.270
So, ready, set, go.

01:03:55.150 --> 01:03:56.150
Beg pardon?

01:04:04.450 --> 01:04:05.510
He wins.

01:04:06.050 --> 01:04:07.830
The guy in the Quest shirt.

01:04:11.260 --> 01:04:13.060
What size t-shirt do you wear, sir?

01:04:13.520 --> 01:04:14.780
What size t-shirt do you wear?

01:04:15.140 --> 01:04:15.640
Large?

01:04:15.640 --> 01:04:16.020
Okay.

01:04:42.450 --> 01:04:43.470
He gets to leave.

01:04:43.470 --> 01:04:44.790
We need one more contestant.

01:04:45.330 --> 01:04:46.990
The guy in the Bell shirt.

01:04:53.420 --> 01:04:54.800
You want to switch phones, Natas?

01:04:55.140 --> 01:04:55.900
Okay.

01:04:59.160 --> 01:05:01.860
We like preferential treatment.

01:05:05.340 --> 01:05:07.680
So, do you understand the rules, sir?

01:05:08.840 --> 01:05:09.640
Okay.

01:05:09.720 --> 01:05:12.880
On your mark, go touch the handset.

01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:14.380
Don't pick up the handset until I say go.

01:05:14.380 --> 01:05:15.660
You can touch the handset.

01:05:16.560 --> 01:05:18.880
One plus the area code plus the number, yes.

01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:22.620
On your mark, get set, dial.

01:05:27.370 --> 01:05:29.470
Good news, everyone, I found the numbers.

01:05:30.230 --> 01:05:32.630
You can get them in the capstoneextensions.com.

01:05:43.180 --> 01:05:48.060
You know, Natas, you're really starting to make these sounds that I know you're...

01:05:55.180 --> 01:05:57.100
You flash the hook and get a call, all right?

01:05:58.120 --> 01:05:59.980
He put his own call on hold.

01:06:00.780 --> 01:06:02.160
That's what we're...

01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:20.220
Yeah, let's do some bid revenue.

01:06:20.220 --> 01:06:21.200
Let's get some free stickers, too.

01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:24.620
One of you still got a call on hold.

01:06:26.500 --> 01:06:28.080
Call, please.

01:06:30.080 --> 01:06:31.780
Natas, would you like an old-school free sticker?

01:06:32.300 --> 01:06:33.640
Would you like an old-school free sticker?

01:06:35.720 --> 01:06:38.100
He runs the site for those who don't know.

01:06:40.080 --> 01:06:41.520
And what size T-shirt do you wear?

01:06:43.140 --> 01:06:43.780
Excellent.

01:06:55.600 --> 01:06:56.280
Let's do this.

01:06:56.280 --> 01:07:00.140
Let me plug the telephone in so we can hear the winner.

01:07:03.460 --> 01:07:06.640
I think we'll do one more, and then we have to get on with the presentation.

01:07:08.660 --> 01:07:09.780
Let's make this fair.

01:07:10.080 --> 01:07:13.140
Let's clear this out and have four all-new people.

01:07:15.600 --> 01:07:18.540
If you guys do compete, come up to me after the show.

01:07:18.540 --> 01:07:19.600
You'll get swag.

01:07:19.600 --> 01:07:20.860
You'll get swag.

01:07:20.860 --> 01:07:21.760
You'll get swag.

01:07:21.760 --> 01:07:22.600
You're welcome.

01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:24.040
Okay, new rule.

01:07:24.040 --> 01:07:27.040
Don't flash so fast that you put a call on hold.

01:07:27.040 --> 01:07:27.720
Yes.

01:07:32.220 --> 01:07:33.340
Okay,

01:07:37.200 --> 01:07:43.960
so,

01:07:50.170 --> 01:07:51.750
let's get some volunteers.

01:07:51.750 --> 01:07:53.110
How about this guy?

01:07:59.450 --> 01:08:01.530
You made some funny comments.

01:08:04.490 --> 01:08:04.590
Okay .

01:08:06.670 --> 01:08:11.160
I heard a patch.

01:08:15.300 --> 01:08:16.900
Yes.

01:08:22.480 --> 01:08:26.400
Okay, we have one more.

01:08:30.760 --> 01:08:33.900
I thought that was my line, Ratchet.

01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:37.080
Okay.

01:08:40.210 --> 01:08:43.950
Okay, do you guys understand the rules from last time, or do I need to repeat them?

01:08:45.950 --> 01:08:47.230
Okay, yes.

01:08:47.290 --> 01:08:51.810
Okay, and now you're able to listen to your caller.

01:08:51.810 --> 01:08:56.290
So, on your mark, get set, dial.

01:08:56.290 --> 01:08:56.630
Okay .

01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:18.140
Don't leave now.

01:09:18.140 --> 01:09:19.920
If you want free stuff, don't leave now.

01:09:19.920 --> 01:09:25.800
We have various telephonic pieces of equipment from Star Collection and more asterisks after the show.

01:09:40.860 --> 01:09:42.160
Good afternoon.

01:09:42.160 --> 01:09:42.920
Cheers.

01:09:51.260 --> 01:09:53.230
Oh, a princess phone.

01:09:54.420 --> 01:09:55.940
A princess rotary?

01:09:59.260 --> 01:10:05.560
It's little, it's lovely, but, however, it does not like what it's a consumer sale model made out of.

01:10:06.320 --> 01:10:09.160
Digium Zap-Tel cards do support rotary phones.

01:10:09.160 --> 01:10:13.700
In fact, you can navigate IPR menus of rotary phones with a Zap-Tel card.

01:10:15.240 --> 01:10:20.600
However, the only thing that does support rotary dial are the card and the EC.

01:10:20.820 --> 01:10:23.540
I think the EC supports rotary dialing.

01:10:23.540 --> 01:10:24.300
I'm not sure.

01:10:24.300 --> 01:10:24.980
It does?

01:10:24.980 --> 01:10:25.740
Okay, cool.

01:10:25.740 --> 01:10:29.180
So, yeah, this thing does support it.

01:10:31.300 --> 01:10:32.360
Unfortunately, no.

01:10:32.360 --> 01:10:35.680
This one actually belongs to Mark Spencer and I had to give it back to him.

01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:44.280
Anyway, I found my two complex, my slightly more complex and my caller ID.

01:10:44.280 --> 01:10:46.120
So, here we go.

01:10:46.320 --> 01:10:47.660
Caller ID 1.

01:10:57.640 --> 01:10:59.360
This is slightly more complicated.

01:11:01.260 --> 01:11:03.260
It sounds like it's going to your AIS script.

01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:21.100
I actually replaced all of the default sounds with JMR because we used a lot of the Dell System and Output back in the 1960s but I really like it more.

01:11:24.370 --> 01:11:29.050
You can hear some slightly more complex script but I'm going to avoid it for now.

01:11:47.650 --> 01:11:50.450
No, baby, give it to me.

01:11:50.450 --> 01:11:52.570
Yes, yes, that's it.

01:11:54.150 --> 01:11:55.530
And option 3.

01:11:58.390 --> 01:11:59.870
This says...

01:12:01.230 --> 01:12:03.880
Enter your object now.

01:12:04.710 --> 01:12:05.510
Enter your...

01:12:05.510 --> 01:12:07.670
This says...

01:12:10.370 --> 01:12:11.110
Enter...

01:12:11.110 --> 01:12:14.630
This is what's from the sound file.

01:12:15.070 --> 01:12:17.830
I ripped it off from the information course.

01:12:17.830 --> 01:12:19.910
Thank you for making it here.

01:12:20.470 --> 01:12:21.210
Send

01:12:31.220 --> 01:12:34.000
your caller ID to whatever you want.

01:12:34.000 --> 01:12:36.400
After you send your caller ID...

01:12:51.510 --> 01:12:53.570
Initial address message.

01:13:03.550 --> 01:13:04.190
It

01:13:25.530 --> 01:13:29.870
was made by Automatic Electric, which was GT's manufacturing company.

01:13:29.950 --> 01:13:32.990
But it's now discontinued as far as I know.

01:13:34.470 --> 01:13:37.390
And ironically, Automatic Electric is now part of this.

01:13:37.390 --> 01:13:46.550
But anyway, you only find the GT5s typically in former GT territory and some independent companies' territories.

01:13:47.410 --> 01:13:51.530
However, in the GT5, Automatic Electric is an all-around unique network.

01:13:51.750 --> 01:13:57.590
So they decided to test out each other's networking one day through this home phone and decided to

01:14:30.830 --> 01:14:31.530
list your friends.

01:14:31.530 --> 01:14:33.450
I mean, how many times did you have to call?

01:14:35.190 --> 01:14:38.230
You need to create your neighbor's credit card.

01:14:39.010 --> 01:14:41.230
You find your neighbor's credit card and pay him back.

01:14:41.230 --> 01:14:44.390
You don't know where you're calling from, right?

01:15:05.770 --> 01:15:11.470
You're obviously using the same phone you found your neighbor's card.

01:15:11.470 --> 01:15:13.170
I'm not going to take your number.

01:15:28.020 --> 01:15:32.200
You just send any caller ID you can find, any CPM number.

01:15:33.320 --> 01:15:35.340
Oh, you must be selling something to connect

01:16:24.500 --> 01:16:26.580
Let's get into the technical details of this later.

01:16:44.820 --> 01:16:53.600
You can also, however, do color-ID spoofing most of the time with two lines in your extensions.com file and ask for a CPS.

01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:55.660
So, I'm just going to grab some data for you.

01:16:56.400 --> 01:16:58.420
We have a lot of theories about color-ID spoofing.

01:16:58.420 --> 01:16:59.000
So, I have

01:17:15.240 --> 01:17:15.720
some.

01:17:15.720 --> 01:17:17.380
It's based on the cost

01:17:26.910 --> 01:17:29.690
of your own number, of some number you want to talk more about.

01:17:29.690 --> 01:17:35.550
And then you'll telephone the company, and they'll send you whatever name is associated with that number.

01:17:40.310 --> 01:17:45.130
Yeah, it depends on what database you're using, but for the most part, it's fairly easy.

01:17:45.130 --> 01:17:47.450
I think I've got a photograph of me doing that.

01:17:47.450 --> 01:17:51.850
So , you can see how it works for yourself, your local exchange, your local website.

01:17:51.850 --> 01:17:54.070
It's called Remembering a Missing Database.

01:17:54.070 --> 01:17:56.190
And then they send that name to you.

01:18:01.770 --> 01:18:07.030
It allows you to, if you're doing scanning, you can prioritize the more missing phone numbers.

01:18:07.370 --> 01:18:09.570
Here are some real color-ID names.

01:18:09.570 --> 01:18:13.730
We've got a company called C.I.A.

01:18:15.070 --> 01:18:18.270
It's a really, really cheap reverse lookup.

01:18:18.270 --> 01:18:20.370
And you can figure out stuff for yourself.

01:18:23.570 --> 01:18:25.330
I'm straight.

01:18:28.110 --> 01:18:32.070
I love you strong.

01:18:32.330 --> 01:18:33.320
I love you too.

01:18:34.790 --> 01:18:37.590
Here's an example of me backspoofing.

01:18:42.530 --> 01:18:44.270
You need your credit card, personally.

01:18:44.270 --> 01:18:45.670
This time, if it didn't work, you go to Google.

01:18:49.150 --> 01:18:51.730
SuperColorID is something that I hacked up in a matter of about five minutes.

01:18:51.810 --> 01:18:55.290
It extrapolates tons of useless info from a telephone number.

01:18:55.570 --> 01:18:57.850
It gives the name and address from YPH.com.

01:18:57.850 --> 01:19:01.850
And it does get you information from the Telecordia location that you've got.

01:19:01.970 --> 01:19:05.010
In my office, it works on the telemedicine device, telemedicine terminal.

01:19:05.010 --> 01:19:08.290
But if you've got some screen or some window you want to look at, you can do that too.

01:19:09.190 --> 01:19:13.210
This is a version of it that has a site, oldschooltrees.com, that doesn't use the word.

01:19:13.210 --> 01:19:14.950
That just grabs the address from the web.

01:19:15.090 --> 01:19:22.950
Here's a photo of me using SuperColorID, and looking from Gladstone's Corned Fish restaurant at Pacific Palisades, to my own phone number.

01:19:23.530 --> 01:19:24.410
Yes.

01:19:29.430 --> 01:19:31.930
Wow, people are making their own versions for their own country.

01:19:31.930 --> 01:19:35.170
Someone's got an Amazon copy from Australia, that works in Australia.

01:19:35.170 --> 01:19:37.390
So, sweet stuff.

01:19:37.390 --> 01:19:53.670
So you can see here, it does the number, the address, so this spins up your webpages, this is the calling party name, that tells you who's the phone company, and here is all the details, how the solution is served out, how many information, prefixes, where the switch is,

01:19:53.670 --> 01:20:02.630
what time the switch is, and, for example, if it's useless for anybody but their own country, you can just enter, like, Apple, or Google, or anything like this.

01:20:04.970 --> 01:20:05.850
What?

01:20:07.730 --> 01:20:08.170
Um...

01:20:08.170 --> 01:20:09.650
No, it does not.

01:20:15.170 --> 01:20:17.730
You can rig radio podcasts.

01:20:18.770 --> 01:20:20.630
Yeah, why don't you explain this?

01:20:22.330 --> 01:20:28.110
What radio does is, they have a hunt group, that's what it was, you call one number, and it hunts for a free line.

01:20:29.290 --> 01:21:00.950
So, for example, you call 5-8000, and the reality is, it hunts for a free line, which is, you know, 8-000-1, 8-000-2, 8-000-3, 8-000-3, 8-000-3, 8-000-3, 8 -000-3, 8 -000-3, 8-000-3, 8-000-3, 8-000-3, 8-000-3, 8-000-3, and what happens is, after the hunt is over,

01:21:00.950 --> 01:21:10.070
I think our

01:21:16.620 --> 01:21:22.980
provider for Defcon by phone claimed that we can have probably over 600 calls going on at the same time.

01:21:24.960 --> 01:21:34.650
We do have a DS1, otherwise known as a T1, and a DS3, and a DS4, and a DS5, and a DS6,

01:21:53.880 --> 01:22:06.860
and what it basically does, you tell Asterisk, generate a bunch of different radio stations, to connect to a certain radio station.

01:22:06.860 --> 01:22:22.100
So , what happens, call file one, sorry I'm call number two, call file three, sorry I'm call ID number three, now I've got it set up to work, and it leads out bound calls, and you can do more, generate call file number four, and actually stuff gets done,

01:22:22.100 --> 01:22:28.040
call number five, call number six, call number seven, and you're looking at call number nine, and all of a sudden, the

01:22:36.890 --> 01:22:56.800
calls that are currently in the queue after the call is over, you say, hey, oh my god, I won, and I say yes, and all of a sudden, I'm sure radio station guy number one is going to be highly confused, and he says , well, they don't know what's going to fix this,

01:22:56.800 --> 01:23:01.840
that's why I actually found something out this week, and they solved the problem, and I'm not going to tell you what's going to happen.

01:23:08.300 --> 01:23:14.760
Yeah, American Idol, or some, if you watch TV, I don't watch TV anymore, and I

01:23:19.010 --> 01:23:35.780
said, well, gee, this is important for the voting mind, for the worst guy that was ever listed on the list, and I said, well, if you do that, and they get a record contract, radio will get about 1.1% worse.

01:24:38.020 --> 01:24:39.620
What's your NMAT5 voting number?

01:24:39.620 --> 01:24:40.840
Let's just do this.

01:24:41.960 --> 01:24:44.120
On your exchange, right?

01:24:56.030 --> 01:24:59.170
Enter the IP address you wish to scan.

01:25:08.600 --> 01:25:09.600
Oh, that's it.

01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:11.820
You know how to push my button.

01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:13.260
Please wait.

01:25:14.900 --> 01:25:18.020
Host found with 17 ports open.

01:25:18.220 --> 01:25:19.860

And that's it.

01:27:09.870 --> 01:27:12.630
On Friday, just fixing bugs and dealing with things.

01:28:21.900 --> 01:28:22.740
You don't have to.

01:28:27.930 --> 01:28:31.210
All of him, he thought of all the phrases except the recording.

01:28:32.310 --> 01:28:37.490
After recording everything, I got really crazy and recorded a whole bunch of crazy introductory phrases.

01:28:38.130 --> 01:28:45.370
Okay, so, you're basically ignoring how weird it is to see phone calls and recordings of yourself.

01:28:46.110 --> 01:28:47.990
It still freaks me out.

01:28:48.810 --> 01:28:54.290
So, there's a search to be able to ignore calls, there's a reminder, and again, you need to register.

01:28:56.790 --> 01:28:58.510
How does it work?

01:28:58.510 --> 01:29:03.650
There's a MySQL database, and there's a whole bunch of audio clips.

01:29:03.650 --> 01:29:10.550
And pretty much, I spent a week in front of my computer dictating the entire text of the schedule.

01:29:24.370 --> 01:29:27.710
There's registration, reminders,

01:29:33.700 --> 01:29:36.520
and there's a web interface internally.

01:29:53.750 --> 01:29:58.310

01:30:15.070 --> 01:30:16.850
Be your own telephone company.

01:30:16.850 --> 01:30:17.830
With Asterix.

01:30:17.830 --> 01:30:20.590
Presented by Strom Carlson and Black Ratchett.

01:30:20.590 --> 01:30:22.490
In Parthenon 3 and 4.

01:30:22.490 --> 01:30:31.290

01:30:47.720 --> 01:30:49.340
Shouts to Strom!

01:30:50.940 --> 01:30:54.480
If any of you want to hire me for your voiceovers, please come see me.

01:30:54.480 --> 01:30:55.780
I'll give you my contact information.

01:30:55.780 --> 01:30:58.540
But don't give me 48 pages of show descriptions, please.

01:30:58.540 --> 01:30:59.540
Prefer sanity.

01:30:59.820 --> 01:31:01.060
No, I think I can handle that.

01:31:02.500 --> 01:31:04.740
It's cheaper than buying that damn stuff for us.

01:31:05.880 --> 01:31:06.900
The problem?

01:31:06.960 --> 01:31:08.740
Dictating the whole schedule is a pain in the ass.

01:31:08.740 --> 01:31:11.620
I didn't realize how long it would take to dictate the whole thing in.

01:31:11.620 --> 01:31:13.720
We were rushing.

01:31:14.040 --> 01:31:16.920
It was supposed to be less than a week ago.

01:31:16.920 --> 01:31:18.640
I'm not used to it.

01:31:18.640 --> 01:31:19.960
I'm not used to it.

01:31:19.980 --> 01:31:22.520
We had some jitter issues last week.

01:31:23.560 --> 01:31:25.260
There were so many problems.

01:31:25.260 --> 01:31:27.720
We couldn't nail all calls at the same time.

01:31:28.060 --> 01:31:29.340
And we had jitter problems.

01:31:29.340 --> 01:31:30.600
We had to switch to SIP.

01:31:30.760 --> 01:31:33.640
And it's really difficult to keep our schedule in sync with DEF CON's schedule.

01:31:33.640 --> 01:31:43.680
We went and asked them to please give us all your scheduled updates to inform our users and everyone who calls in about changes.

01:31:43.720 --> 01:31:48.160
I don't remember getting my email address out of the entire agenda.

01:31:48.300 --> 01:31:50.080
So thank you, everyone.

01:31:50.280 --> 01:31:51.820
And also this.

01:31:51.820 --> 01:31:54.140
We came up to them and said, hey, our schedule really sucks.

01:31:54.140 --> 01:31:57.180
Is there someplace we can go to get updates?

01:31:57.240 --> 01:31:59.440
Oh, go to updates.defcon.org.

01:31:59.440 --> 01:32:02.640
So I was like, okay, I'll sit down, fix everything.

01:32:02.640 --> 01:32:04.940
Not a single schedule change on there.

01:32:05.060 --> 01:32:06.680
I was...

01:32:07.320 --> 01:32:08.660
It's causing nightmares.

01:32:08.660 --> 01:32:09.800
I don't have nightmares for you.

01:32:09.820 --> 01:32:16.440
We spent all of Monday, or all of Friday trying to deal with the fact that they pushed the entire track date back an hour.

01:32:17.380 --> 01:32:19.720
But we hadn't anticipated that.

01:32:20.060 --> 01:32:21.100
I'm sorry?

01:32:23.660 --> 01:32:30.560
What we should do next year is we're probably going to set up something where the schedule is actually thrown together in our system.

01:32:31.520 --> 01:32:33.020
And that's the idea I had.

01:32:33.020 --> 01:32:37.560
The schedule is thrown together in our system so we automatically know about it and have everything synchronized.

01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:39.580
And as a disclaimer, we all love DEF CON.

01:32:39.580 --> 01:32:42.840
We're not trying to piss anyone off, but this is what happens.

01:32:42.840 --> 01:32:48.920
When we're at DEF CON reminders, there's no way to detect whether users are rejected by scale.

01:32:48.980 --> 01:32:51.320
So they don't get thrown into the reminder.

01:32:51.660 --> 01:32:54.360
Some users are brain-deficient and forget their thing.

01:32:55.220 --> 01:32:57.540
And you've got to call from somebody.

01:32:58.780 --> 01:33:01.040
You know who you are.

01:33:07.590 --> 01:33:08.710
Rejector.net.

01:33:08.710 --> 01:33:10.910
We'll be back next year.

01:33:10.910 --> 01:33:12.750
We'll be back next year.

01:33:13.270 --> 01:33:18.570
The problem with Crack 2 is that they said, we'll move everything up and down, OK, that's fine.

01:33:18.570 --> 01:33:19.690
I update the schedule.

01:33:19.690 --> 01:33:23.930
And they said, OK, let's make that time so everything is on schedule by the end.

01:33:23.930 --> 01:33:25.890
I cried when I finally found out.

01:33:26.310 --> 01:33:28.070
There was no way to do that.

01:33:28.070 --> 01:33:31.050
I want to get to the Q&A because I'm sure there are a lot of you who wrote the Q&A.

01:33:31.350 --> 01:33:33.930
The CDF cards kind of flake out.

01:33:34.390 --> 01:33:39.330
They're problems because asterisk is TTL but all folks know how to do the asterisk

01:33:56.030 --> 01:34:01.130
So, if you want to ask a question, there is a telephone there.

01:34:01.170 --> 01:34:02.990
Queue up in front of the telephone.

01:34:03.910 --> 01:34:16.210
And for those of you watching on TV, call the following number, area code 213-415-1047, and you will be in the Q&A queue.

01:34:16.210 --> 01:34:20.430
Do not call this number if you are sitting here in the room.

01:34:20.690 --> 01:34:30.490
If you see someone who is on their phone and calling the number and holding and asking a question, grab their phone and throw it to me, and we won't give it back to them.

01:34:35.810 --> 01:34:39.630
Will you please pick up and dial 8-1-1-0?

01:34:39.730 --> 01:34:41.290
Oh, shoot.

01:34:41.290 --> 01:34:42.570
Sorry about that.

01:34:44.190 --> 01:34:45.750
Please pick up that phone.

01:34:55.790 --> 01:34:56.790
Hello?

01:34:57.550 --> 01:34:59.090
I have a question.

01:34:59.670 --> 01:35:00.670
Really?

01:35:06.050 --> 01:35:07.610
Okay, please, everyone calm down.

01:35:07.610 --> 01:35:08.910
We are trying to get to make questions.

01:35:08.910 --> 01:35:18.610
The codec that was demonstrated earlier, you can do rock and roll, funk, with a lot of bass, and a yelling guy, and a very quiet dude with his band going.

01:35:19.030 --> 01:35:24.110
The band was really good to get that music, like, I don't know if codecs are

01:35:27.200 --> 01:35:34.280
nice for speech, but the way I see it, if you portrait test a codec, you see what they really sound like under all circumstances.

01:35:34.420 --> 01:35:37.460
Because not all speech is perfect.

01:35:37.460 --> 01:35:43.240
So if you portrait test a codec, you get a clearer picture of what it really sounds like.

01:35:47.080 --> 01:35:48.480
Yeah, it's a good test.

01:35:48.480 --> 01:35:51.140
I know it's not designed for music, but there is music on hold.

01:35:51.340 --> 01:35:55.860
What happens when you're driving in your car, and you have tons of background noise, and you're trying to use one of these?

01:35:55.920 --> 01:35:56.880
Same thing.

01:35:56.880 --> 01:35:57.520
Okay.

01:36:00.080 --> 01:36:01.040
Thank you very much.

01:36:01.040 --> 01:36:01.780
Thank you.

01:36:03.940 --> 01:36:06.520
Let's see if anyone's calling in from the TV.

01:36:10.160 --> 01:36:13.260
Agent logged in.

01:36:13.860 --> 01:36:15.300
Hello?

01:36:18.320 --> 01:36:19.760
Hello?

01:36:20.140 --> 01:36:21.680
Black call!

01:36:21.680 --> 01:36:24.200
Let's hang up and get the next person in line.

01:36:25.860 --> 01:36:28.240
Agent logged in.

01:36:36.330 --> 01:36:37.070
Calling in?

01:36:37.070 --> 01:36:37.730
Wow!

01:36:37.730 --> 01:36:39.510
More people at home!

01:36:40.810 --> 01:36:44.870
If you're watching on TV call, okay, let's get you in.

01:36:53.140 --> 01:36:55.040
Okay, two questions, actually.

01:36:55.040 --> 01:37:01.360
One, for all the color-ID speech and stuff you guys were talking about, do you need a DS1, an MP3, or a PN?

01:37:01.360 --> 01:37:04.000
No, I've got it running on my DSL connection.

01:37:04.160 --> 01:37:07.520
Okay, so just with the VoIP provider...

01:37:07.520 --> 01:37:13.280
Yeah, your standard VoIP call, even with MULA, only requires 80 kilobits per second of bandwidth plus overhead.

01:37:13.280 --> 01:37:18.240
So if you've got more than 80 kilobits per second connection in both directions, you're fine.

01:37:18.240 --> 01:37:19.040
Okay.

01:37:21.360 --> 01:37:22.220
Okay, never mind.

01:37:22.220 --> 01:37:26.140
The other question I had is, what is the difference between a phone company and a telephone company?

01:37:28.950 --> 01:37:30.690
How many phones do you want to use?

01:37:30.690 --> 01:37:34.610
You can get generally about the same as a phone company, between three and five telephone sets.

01:37:40.260 --> 01:37:41.920
Run, Forrest, run!

01:37:42.580 --> 01:37:44.780
Isn't this scavenger hunt over yet?

01:37:44.800 --> 01:37:45.460
No.

01:37:45.740 --> 01:37:47.920
There's a giant bee problem with DEF CONNORS here.

01:37:47.920 --> 01:37:48.640
Thank you.

01:37:58.760 --> 01:38:01.480
Hello, you're with Asterisk.

01:38:02.500 --> 01:38:03.280
Hey, how you doing?

01:38:03.280 --> 01:38:04.360
Hey, how you doing?

01:38:04.640 --> 01:38:05.420
Hey!

01:38:05.420 --> 01:38:06.800
There's a little delay.

01:38:09.560 --> 01:38:11.060
What's your question, sir?

01:38:11.760 --> 01:38:13.660
My question on DEF CONNORS.

01:38:13.660 --> 01:38:15.580
Are those the only ones that are supported?

01:38:16.240 --> 01:38:18.840
For interfacing your phones with Asterisk?

01:38:19.180 --> 01:38:20.140
Yeah.

01:38:20.140 --> 01:38:20.660
No.

01:38:20.660 --> 01:38:22.880
No, they're not the only ones supported.

01:38:22.920 --> 01:38:23.920
I believe you're...

01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:24.820
Yeah.

01:38:25.260 --> 01:38:26.940
No, they're not the only ones supported.

01:38:26.940 --> 01:38:28.040
I don't know which one it is.

01:38:28.040 --> 01:38:31.480
I think it's something called VoiceTel that uses the same hardware.

01:38:31.480 --> 01:38:33.280
It was the same older version of it.

01:38:33.280 --> 01:38:34.160
It's supported.

01:38:34.160 --> 01:38:34.900
It works.

01:38:35.080 --> 01:38:35.480
But...

01:38:35.480 --> 01:38:37.000
Good luck getting it working.

01:38:39.760 --> 01:38:41.540
So, are those PCI cards?

01:38:41.540 --> 01:38:42.740
Yes, they're PCI.

01:38:42.740 --> 01:38:45.940
And I believe there's also one with ISA for you to use with...

01:38:47.540 --> 01:38:48.960
I believe you're running...

01:38:49.560 --> 01:38:50.180
Okay.

01:38:50.180 --> 01:38:51.020
...DEF CONNORS.

01:38:51.020 --> 01:38:51.760
DEF CONNORS, right?

01:38:51.760 --> 01:38:52.440
Yes.

01:38:53.340 --> 01:38:55.100
This is actually on the DEF CON by VoiceTel.

01:38:55.100 --> 01:38:56.620
But we're going to move on to the next question.

01:38:56.620 --> 01:38:59.380
Okay, let's get the next question from a real person.

01:39:06.850 --> 01:39:07.550
Marty?

01:39:07.590 --> 01:39:09.250
Hey, could you...

01:39:17.150 --> 01:39:23.870
For the most part, Asterisk is about as secure as a regular telephone, although the new version of the ETH protocol now does encryption.

01:39:23.870 --> 01:39:24.810
I haven't played with it yet.

01:39:24.810 --> 01:39:26.110
It's only about two weeks old.

01:39:26.110 --> 01:39:29.790
But there is now encryption built into the TVS head version of the ETH protocol.

01:39:30.510 --> 01:39:31.310
Cool.

01:39:31.310 --> 01:39:32.050
Okay.

01:39:32.110 --> 01:39:33.790
Let's take a call from...

01:39:44.750 --> 01:39:45.790
Hello?

01:39:58.570 --> 01:40:00.110
Oh, this was always right here.

01:40:13.780 --> 01:40:14.820
The reason

01:40:39.610 --> 01:40:41.930
those payphones take an incredibly long time to call...

01:40:41.930 --> 01:40:42.510
Also,

01:40:46.950 --> 01:40:48.810
it works from my mobile phone.

01:40:48.970 --> 01:40:50.150
So it's not our...

01:40:50.150 --> 01:40:56.130
The other fun thing about the payphones out in the lobby is that they do not transmit a payphone code.

01:40:56.130 --> 01:40:58.950
So therefore, you can actually use DEF CON by phone from them.

01:40:58.950 --> 01:41:01.970
All payphones are banned because we don't feel like being charged a fee.

01:41:01.970 --> 01:41:11.730
However, thanks to Goldetel, whoever supports them, they have a very unincorrect standard on their payphones and they treat them as being real payphones.

01:41:15.290 --> 01:41:16.470
Hello, caller?

01:41:20.110 --> 01:41:21.230
Grab his phone!

01:41:49.070 --> 01:41:50.430
...and O'Reilly makes great books.

01:41:50.430 --> 01:41:52.970
This one's apparently like 570 something pages.

01:41:53.350 --> 01:41:55.630
I'm looking for a good book with a starfish on the cover.

01:41:56.030 --> 01:41:56.990
And secondly...

01:41:58.290 --> 01:41:59.390
Sure, I'm broke.

01:41:59.390 --> 01:42:00.350
I'll accept the money.

01:42:00.810 --> 01:42:01.430
You won't pay me.

01:42:01.430 --> 01:42:02.410
I've got it down for you.

01:42:02.690 --> 01:42:03.990
Alright, thank you.

01:42:26.150 --> 01:42:27.730
Call in somebody from...

01:42:27.730 --> 01:42:29.050
Hello, party?

01:42:30.930 --> 01:42:31.650
Hello?

01:42:32.150 --> 01:42:34.520
Hello.

01:42:34.880 --> 01:42:37.340
Up to four people can be in the queue at any given time.

01:42:38.760 --> 01:42:44.300
And how did you figure out that you're the inventor?

01:42:44.820 --> 01:42:47.700
Because we're dialing our internal Dundee net number.

01:42:47.700 --> 01:42:49.600
We got skills, yo.

01:42:49.760 --> 01:42:50.520
Yeah.

01:42:50.620 --> 01:43:02.240
Actually, you can set a password for this, but for convenience, since none of you from the outside world can dial on our Dundee plan, we figured it would just be easier if we could just answer the question instead of getting some password thing.

01:43:02.240 --> 01:43:06.460
Yes, essentially, this allows you to set up your own phone sets.

01:43:06.780 --> 01:43:07.660
Yes.

01:43:07.860 --> 01:43:09.040
Thank you much.

01:43:23.920 --> 01:43:25.040
I'm wearing...

01:43:35.230 --> 01:43:38.250
I've got this really, really nice butt set.

01:43:39.990 --> 01:43:44.210
Have you played with any of the 802.11c voice phones?

01:43:44.910 --> 01:43:48.370
I haven't played with any of the 802.11c voice phones.

01:43:48.370 --> 01:43:53.010
There are phones that'll act like cordless phones, except they'll talk to your Wi-Fi network.

01:43:53.390 --> 01:43:56.330
I wasn't kidding when I told you I had a really nice butt set.

01:43:58.250 --> 01:43:58.930
7920?

01:43:58.930 --> 01:44:00.570
Okay, so 7920.

01:44:00.610 --> 01:44:05.430
If you go to voice-info.org wiki, they have information on all of those.

01:44:05.550 --> 01:44:08.470
I haven't played with the Wi-Fi phone set.

01:44:10.630 --> 01:44:12.890
Yeah, yeah, you can do voice talk on BDSU.

01:44:12.890 --> 01:44:14.630
Yes, I set them up for my own thing.

01:44:14.630 --> 01:44:16.010
I have a nice Bluetooth headset.

01:44:16.010 --> 01:44:17.550
I have Wi-Fi hotspot.

01:44:17.550 --> 01:44:18.450
It comes right in hand.

01:44:18.450 --> 01:44:19.970
We've got to go wrap this up.

01:44:20.010 --> 01:44:21.330
Thank you all for coming.

01:44:21.730 --> 01:44:24.310
I'm going to send out shouts to binrev.com.

01:44:24.310 --> 01:44:27.230
You can find Strom and I there on forums, binrev.com.

01:44:28.190 --> 01:44:29.190
Anything else?

01:44:29.450 --> 01:44:30.530
Oldschoolfreak.com.

01:44:30.530 --> 01:44:32.950
We have stickers that we can give people.

01:44:32.950 --> 01:44:34.010
Just follow us out.

01:44:34.010 --> 01:44:36.610
We'll talk to your questions and do whatever.

01:44:37.650 --> 01:44:38.630
Hang on just a second.

01:44:38.630 --> 01:44:47.190
You can also, before you go, if you have any questions and you can't get to us directly, my telephone number is on my website, so call me up there.

01:44:47.410 --> 01:44:51.310
Further reading of resources, on to the slideshow on your TV.

01:44:51.310 --> 01:44:53.090
Thank you for coming, everybody.
