Asterisk 1.8.0 com Google Voice e suporte para IPv6

Quando se fala em VoIP (Voz sobre IP) e soluções gratuitas, é quase inevitável não falar do popular Asterisk. Para quem não conhece, o Asterisk é um software de código aberto que permite “transformar” um simples computador num servidor de comunicações como se de uma central telefónica  multi-protocolo se tratasse.

A Digium, é a empresa que promove o Asterisk, mas actualmente é a comunidade de programadores que contribui fortemente para os avanços da aplicação. Recentemente foi lançada a versão 1.8.0  com algumas novidades interessantes.
