You will need an ethernet card/connection to use a SIP phone. Also, before you pay all that money for new phones, you could test/learn using asterisk with free softphones. **** - Sorry I didn't ask this question very well, I meant how will I interface with the existing phone system, It is an old system so really the only way I have to connect to it is through putting asterisk in place of a phone at an extension. Can I use the four port card? The whole thing is a trial to convince the powers that be to switch the whole system over to VOIP as the old system is on its last legs. **** Anon Thanks Joel Duffield Near North Business Machines 705-787-0517 Phone 705-787-0554 Fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.NearNorthBusiness.com _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
