What part of the system isn't working? The "route calls to the appartment" part? That could be replaced by Asterisk with enough (analogue?) ports to serve the front door and appartments using existing wiring. If the door part also needs replacing because it is proprietary to the old system, you could use a SIP dooropener/intercom, but these are generally expensive, starting around EUR800/$800? or so and probably need an expension for apartment buttons. And you'd need to run new wiring to the door and perhaps change the lock. And then there's the apartments, it could get *very* expensive when you need to replace wiring and the "phones" in each apartment to something VoIP like. -- Andreas Sikkema -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
