Well we have 3 sales people that are out visiting customers 50% or more
of the time and it will get more as we got them laptops now. And if we
can forward the calls to their cell phones with our phone system instead
of giving the customers their cell numbers and then hanging up on the
customer it will provide a better experience for the customer and
better control for us. It may still be overkill but 4 lines aren't
enough in the busy season and if we have 3 calling in and getting
forwarded thru another to cells that is six already. And business is
growing so we want room to expand before having to upgrade again.

Thanks for the heads up - I didn't see anything that said it did work
with asterisk so I thought I better ask.
So if you where setting up a 6 - 8 telephone line system with 10 - 12
phones and trying to stay under $3000 for the system and phones what
would you suggest. It sounds like if I can't do it for $3000 or under
we will just stay with our old - outdated - partially functional phone
system.
I can probably reuse a workstation machine. And use AAH to make install
and configuration easy. But that leaves some device ( suggest one to
me) for
* 8 fxo ports -And **12 voip phones
* I think I'll just pass the fax/dsl line directly to the fax machine
and dsl modem since we don't use it for anything else anyways and that
means we don't have to worry about receiving faxes thru asterisk.
** I'd like to use the new Sipura 941's but may have to go with
grandstream 2000's because of cost.
We were supposed to have this done in November but cost issues have
pushed it back this far already - so I'm not sure when this will happen.

The Aastra VentureIP system used a semi proprietary, non SIP

works with Asterisk.
I'm thinking I'd need 2 to support 6-8 lines - Or suggest some other
equipment that will provide up to 8 fxo ports and connect to asterisk.
for future projects I'd also like something with 2 fxo ports and 4 -
5 fxs ports - I suppose a digium card would do fine for 2 fxo and
2fxs and I could do a sipura 2002 for 2 more.
I do not think that the Venture IP will work with Asterisk at
all. As
far as I know it is a self contained system. The gateway unit will
autoconfigure the phones so they work together. The firmware for the
phones
is not the same as the one used for SIP and Asterisk.
