www.voip-info.org is one stop ref. for asterisk help.
yes its more then possible.
You can put asterisk server at your place and make your friend login to your ast box. you can make your friend a sip account use xlite ( windows based softphone ) at your friends place. IMHO you need to buy fxo card to plug your telco or vonage line into ast box.
yes then your friend can use your vonage or telco line to dialout, and you can make dialplan which actually let your friend chose how to dial and from which line.

Hi,
I think it is the first time I post on this list, I went through
the few couple of hundred last messages on the list and couldn't find an
answer. I also read the FAQ.
I'd need some advice... here is what I plan to do. I've never
installed asterisk so I know I need to do some testing. I don't mind
buying equipment, but I don't want to overspend, especially in the test
phase. I planned on using [EMAIL PROTECTED] on old boxes that I can get for
less than 100$ (P3 500/128 MB) or astlinux on pcengines WRAP machines
(or even astlinux on the P3). I just bought a WRAP that is going to
eventually replace my netgear home router, but I could use the WRAP for
testing. There is no hurry to replace the netgear.
What I want to do is have one asterisk PBX here and one at my
friend's house. We are both with the same ISP, cable modem, with good
bandwidth. My friend lives ~ 25 Km from me. - The incoming phone line
would be at my house, but I'd like to have an extension going to my
friend's. I am testing traffic shaping rules with my firewall right
now, so this is likely to be in the plan as well.
At home I have 2 lines: one regular telco line and one VoIP line
from Vonage (with a motorola phone adapter). The vonage has unlimited
long distance USA/Canada (I'm in canada btw). Here are my questions:
- Is that possible? Any links to howtos?
- Could I connect both of my lines on the pbx?
- Can my friend dial through my vonage line to make long-distance calls?
Can he actually choose?
- I'd like to avoid buying digium cards at least for the testing
phase... I know I'll probably need one to use my telco line or the IP
line behind the phone adapter, but if I can avoid buying one for my
friend's PBX, it would be great. Can I use (free or inexpensive)
softphones with asterisk?
Thanks in advance,
