Brian Try Asterisk at Home, it's got a GUI and takes about an hour to set up. I agree with the others re the fax line, go POTS. Get a Voip gateway provider to give you extra services.

However, I'm a Linux guy of 10 years and not a phone guy. I've been trying to wade through all the phone lingo and acronyms, but frankly they make my head spin :). Hopefully someone here can give me some direction in what I'd like to accomplish. We'd like to go with a business class VOIP provider that can provide us with at least 2 phone numbers, 1 for a main line and the other for a fax. Any recommendations on companies that work well with Asterisk? Where I'm really stuck is what I need to connect the office phones to the system. We will have regular phone lines, as well as ethernet in each office. I will need to use at least 1 regular phone line for the fax machine. What hardware do you recommend for this? We are open to buying new phones if need be. Is anyone else using this type of setup? I want to make sure that we can also do things like call on hold, call transfer, conference, etc... Thanks for any direction you can give me. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
