Drupal and Astrisk (VOIP) server using same database
Hello
I have an Asterisk (VOIP) server which has data on mySQL database. For those not familiar with Asterisk, it is a VOIP telephony server. My application is a community information line, where users dial in and select content and hears it. It is almost acoustical web site. I want to use data in mysql database, for a complementary visual site i.e. a Drupal site. There are many benefits of have a visual site; for example uploading data in Drupal is much easier than from telephone. GPS and map data can only be displayed in a visual site. I am looking for a way to use Asterisk database (MySql) for Drupal. Could multisite concept be useful? I am looking for ideas. Any help will be appreciated.

It looks like there's an Asterisk module in the Drupal.org module database, though it hasn't been touched in over a year. Still, it may be useful as a starting point for your integration project
Thanks Garrett
I know and I am following it. I did a foolish thing to contact the person looking after the module. I just wanted general info, but I was offered a lecture that "open source is like free speech and not free beer" and he would answer me at $150/hr. All I wanted to know if something like what I wanted existed, if so its url. But this is America and time is money. I can say that as I watched Michael Moore's movie last week.
Contacting the author wasn't
Contacting the author wasn't foolish at all. It's unfortunate that they wouldn't answer your questions without demanding payment upfront (even for a skilled Drupal developer, $150 an hour for a non-emergency rate is quite exorbitant). However, yes, time is money, and we all have our limits on what we'll do for free. I guess that person's limits are just rather low.
As for Moore's latest anti-capitalism movie; did you pay to see it? Because, ya know… irony.
