Phiber Optik releases Project MF, bluebox for Asterisk

From the developers bbs
Project MF is a living, working simulation of analog SF/MF signalling just as it was used as the standard in the public switched telephone network up until the early 90's, when most everything was cut-over by the regional Bells to the fully-digital SS7/ISDN network as it continues today.
Project MF is intended as a way of preserving an important part of telco history, and should fascinate both new-comers and old-timers alike. In this simulation, I've allowed for "SIGnalling Irregularities" or "SIGIs" in telco parlance: the ability to inject 2600Hz single-frequency (SF) trunk idle/busy supervisory tones from "external sources", as well as the multi-frequency (MF) tone-pairs used to signal telephone calls as well as hidden internal routing codes on the network. In a word, blue-boxing!
Phiber Optik's recreation of analog SF/MF signalling using Asterisk, known as Project MF, is now up for download after his successful presentation at HOPE Number Six last weekend.
Getting it to work on your own looks like it's going to be a tough task?
