GUM TOPIC: "VoIP with Asterisk"
Speakers: Ryan Brown from tblive.com
Host: Beth Lynn Eicher
CoHost: Bill Moran

Talk Abstract:
Cost savings is something every business looks to do. Incorporating VoIP 
using the open source PBX software Asterisk allows someone to easily 
purchase telephone termination service from a low cost provider anywhere 
in the world rather than being forced into using your local telephone 
service provider such as Verizon or AT&T. Asterisk, is very flexible, 
allowing individuals or large corporations a complete solution in running 
their own home voicemail or corporate PBX system.

More info about Asterisk can be found at their 
website http://www.asterisk.com
