Hello Marcin, Kindly find my answers inline.
Quoting Marcin Zastawny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and to asterisk technology from an admin standpoint (not new as a user, I have used asterisk for about a year now), so forgive me if this question sounds lame. Anyhow, I am responsible for setting up an asterisk box that will have to run the following: - 1 digium card for an analog line, and for a gsm gateway - 1 isdn junghanns quadbri card - coming up, 1 sangoma card (2 port) for a 30B+D ISDN PRA Chanel. Today we already use many features of asterisk 1.2.4 like CDR logging and pretty neat dialplan features (call queuing, music on hold etc), and the junghanns card gives us ISDN connectivity out to the town. However, I will be implementing the sangoma 30B+D card for a small callcenter, on top of that I will have to get faxing going out thru asterisk.
Fax over IP is not a good idea yet. but it works without any compression in some cases. You may want to read up pages on Asterisk Fax on the Voip-info wiki. Also that there is a huge bounty ($10,750) for getting proper Fax support in asterisk.
And the question is: Q: is it worthwile going with trixbox (asterisk @ home), or should I invest time to get to know asterisk?
Yes you should get to know asterisk that sounds better.
Even though I dont have much time available, I realize that once the box is set up, it seems to stay that way until the next change, so maybe its worth the time to get to know exactly how it works, without the bells and whistles of trixbox wizards etc.
If you are not a big fan of Web interface, I would suggest not to have one.
I have all the dialplans already working in asterisk 1.2.4, so theoretically, upgrading to new version of asterisk plus getting the sangoma card and faxing should not be too painful.
Yeah it would be painful if you want to re-generate the same kind of dialplan, coz Trixbox is already loaded with bunch of dialplan which you would hardly use.
Any suggestions of asterisk vs trixbox are very welcome.
So my suggestion would be, upgrade asterisk, upgrade zaptel, libpri etc. Copy the old dialplan and get up n running.
cheers, Marcin
