Because the class didn't make the printed catalog and doesn't show up 
on-line unless you know what to search for, I guess not too many folks 
know about it.

Just to let everyone know, it runs from 08/27 until 12/21 on Wednesday 
nights from 5:40 PM until 8:30PM.  It meets 16 times at West Campus.

The focus will be hands on using Linux and the Asterisk application to 
build a group of servers and learn about VOIP technology.

The official class description is pretty lame and makes it sound like 
it's a future technology but many companies are using it now.  Even PCC 
recently began the transition from a traditional pbx to a VOIP phone system.

You will actually get to build systems and network them together as well 
as learning about the protocols, QOS, etc.  We need at least 10 people 
for the class.  Nothing as prerequisites but a little hands on knowledge 
of Linux and networking will be handy.
