It is *not* that the digital phones do not need a card. It is that there is no card on the market that will work with them. > Also, how it will use ethernet switches! It will not use ethernet switches. > It does not work with IP Packets. No, it does not, and it will probably never work. To make it even clearer: Bilal -- You cannot use your digital phones with Asterisk. Period. Either: 1 - use a matching digital switch (Nortel Meridian or Norstar, etc.) 2 - sell the phones and replace them with proper IP phones that you can use over an IP network. If you are concerned about availability in the event of a power failure: Purchase an Uninterruptible Power Supply of the appropriate size, Power over Ethernet injectors, and configure your system such that it will stay up during a power outage. -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
