If you search the archives I think you'll find this discussed several times. One (of many) ways to accomplish it is simply based on using a Cisco 7940/7960 phone configured with paging, and pipe the audio to an amplifier input. If you're planning on deploying the Cisco phones already, then using that approach basically has built-in sparing covered. _______________________________________________ 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
