You have 2 options here for the (XXX) section. Option 1 is to see if your panasonic pbx supports a T1 interface, and is afordable for the number of lines you wish to connect via asterisk. Or you use a FXO/FXS solution to connect the 2. Since it is easier to get FXO ports for asterisk right now than FXS ports, you will want to connect a FXS port of the panasonic pbx to a FXO port on the asterisk machine. So you probably want to get X100P cards in the number of lines you wish to be able to connect to the far side. > As I am in New Zealand, which uses different ring tones/cadences to the > US, are there any issues there? > > Any comments, caveats on this setup gratefully received. > > Regards, > > Richard Scobie > > > _______________________________________________ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
