Hi, We're in the process of installing a VoIP solution in the new building on campus (deployment to the rest of campus to follow). The solution includes a "web portal" where users can go to adjust certain settings on their voice mail (PIN change, etc.). Because some of the people who will have phone numbers on the system won't actually have phones/offices (adjunct faculty, etc.), we want to make the portal available from the Internet. Our vendor's pro services team is recommending against this because administrator access to the portal is via the same system, just a different URL. We think we can work around this by limiting access to the administrator URL with our F5 (or other similar approaches). But before we do that, we though we'd ask... What are other schools doing? If your VoIP product has a portal, do you let people access it from the Internet, or just from on campus? Thanks, --Dave -- *DAVID A.
