[TriLUG] Record Phone Interviews? Anyone done this?

[Jon Carnes]

Yep. We funnel calls to be recorded through an Asterisk Gateway that has
that sole purpose. Asterisk monitors both sides of the conversation and
on hangup, combines them into one WAV file.

We store the WAV files in the clients web area where they are available
immediately. Later in the depths of the night we compress the WAV files
into other formats like OGG for archive purposes.

This is also our current CALEA solution.
