Anyone locally installing Asterisk based PBX systems?

[Steven C. Peterson]

hey on a similar not. I am looking for information on setting up a 
completely new network on mobile platform (U.S.T.S State of Michigan).
I am currently at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy and we have received 
a new training vessel from MARAD. it is an ex navy ship so everything is 
MIL-SPEC
it has been wired with cat 6 to all berthing spaces and the pilot house. 
they all currently terminate to one punch block with a total 48 ports.

what we need is network that can dynamically switch between a satilite 
Internet connection and a 802.11a/b/g (to be installed) wireless link to 
the academy building (about 120 feet off the stern, when she is in home 
port)

we also want to install wireless throughout the ship (altho that will be 
hard with steel walls every ware)
and replace the dynamo driven DC-squawk boxes with a modern intra ship 
comunications system (I am thinking asterisk phone in most Berthing 
spaces and wireless hand sets for the captain, the chief and the watch 
officers)

when in port we want the cadets to be able to access the inter net via 
the wireless link. when at sea we only want email shuttled back and 
forth from the academy's Novell mail server over the satilite.

I have a little experience with this stuff but only on a very small 
scale (5-6 computers)

any help you all can offer would be great.

It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward.
   Enrico Fermi

The fundamental point in fabricating a chain reacting machine is of course to see to it that each fission produces a certain number of neutrons and some of these neutrons will again produce fission.
    Enrico Fermi

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
