We're up and running with Asterisk in our office, basically using
Asterisk as a PBX replacement. All good so far.
Congrats.
Now we want to add some lines from Unlimitel. Is it possible to roll
over our last copper line (Bell) onto unlimitel lines? And if so, how do
we do this?
Also wondering... if we order a number from Unlimitel... what is the
capacity of that line? Can one number handle multiple concurrent calls
or do you, like copper, have to order as many numbers as you expect
concurrent calls?
No *-related question is too newbie for this forum, so relax!
DID lines from any provider are AFAIK 1-1 with call capacity.
Just like on a PBX you pretty much need a real "outside line" either to
make
or to receive a call.
As far as rolling every single line over, there have been discussions on
this list
and elsewhere on whether you should keep one line for emergency use.
Bottom line: it depends. :-) On how important calling is (don't most
people have
cell phones) vs the likelihood of * crashing in a way that you can't get
it back
online in under a few minutes. Power failures, equipment failures, that
sort of thing.
