Don't think there is such a thing as wrong; its all in perspective. Some folks need economical fxs's and some need fxo's (or a combo). Regardless of which is needed, interfacing "the box" to asterisk via ethernet (where feasible) has some interesting economics and operational benefits, particularily if dsp/codec/canceller is in the box. _______________________________________________ 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
