MSU Telecom Systems has deployed an Avaya
Communication Manager as the centrally-supported telephone system. We
have also put in various VoIP servers and gateways to support most SIP and
H.323 applications. Our deployment for SIP is completely vendor agnostic;
we are actually deploying X-Lite and eyeBeam from Counterpath software as our
SIP softphone client of choice. We are also investigating allowing users
to use the AIR iPhone (http://www.merhl.com/)
on our switch too, pending its final release and some negotiations with the developer.

Sounds good, I will keep an eye out.
Do you have any preference on switch preferred apps (avaya, Nortel, Rockwell
etc…)

I know it is only a sub-point of your
email, but VoIP applications like Skype and Vonage are not supported on this
campus from a policy or technical standpoint. However, MSU Telecom
Systems does support similar services (MSUmobility), for MSU faculty and staff.
Also, if you have any suggestions for any Voice applications, please let
me know – we are always looking to develop our portfolio of useful
products.

Avoiding On-line Software Tools
Hey jim,
Not to “get all confrontational”
but, I am a literal person and Google apps and online software TOOLS, is
different than web email by the same providers. So I went to the NETFILES
site in one of the questions and it is not really a software tool site
either.
I am just curious as to the language
meaning a very general sense of online software tools. I.E. this computer
I am using now is a tool to compute, or my email account is a communication
tool.
I am a new person in this community but
I am trying to do my part to add value to the peoples experience, volunteer
when called upon, and help improve the technical environment while I am here.
So I would like to see some other items that are specifically online software
tools that can be used in place of business apps like calanders, phone tools
for conferencing like skype, web programs that enumerate your local pc shares
to the host system being used and allows for file sharing via said example with
out challenge, and finally any on line to that offers office features like word
processing, spreadsheets and databases. These are what I see as online
software tools if I we are educating faculty and staff on the cautions or
compliance with the A.U.P.

Timo,
I do not work for ACNS, but if you look under
‘Overview’ you will see “This article contains information
gathered in a question and answer format to address the guidelines for using
on-line software tools such as Google Apps,
Gmail, Microsoft Office Live, or other applications..” There is
also reference to Yahoo and Hotmail later in the document. This seems
sufficient to me.

Does the group that runs this faq plan
on adding any other examples besides Google? You don’t have to name
them all, but at least put some in there.
