It runs on Linux, BSD and MacOSX and provides all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk does voice over IP in many protocols, and can interoperate with almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware. http://www.asterisk-peru.org FreeCulture.org (Peruvian Chapter) FreeCulture.org is a diverse, non-partisan group of students and young people who are working to get their peers involved in the free culture movement. http://www.freeculture.org About Peru: Today, Perus annual per capita income is declining; 52 percent of the population is underemployed and 8 percent are unemployed. Peru has a highly unequal income distribution and endemic poverty with about 55 percent of the population living below the poverty level and 24 percent living in extreme poverty. Free Software can be used to facilitate an inclusive and participatory process in drafting national poverty reduction strategies and in achieving their goals. __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!
