The card Syd mentions (X100P) is about as functional and cheap as they
get. The only issue I has was problems with the server not realizing
that the line is hung, necessitating a manual hangup from the FOP. Oh,
yea, and some of these don't work in a fast motherboard. But ever since
we switched to the cable co. as our main line provider, the line hangup
hasn't been an issue. (Anyone?) Is that because they do supervised
disconnect on their lines by default (Unlike Bell)? I also noticed that
the wall phone blings when the caller hangs up. Interesting side effect.

Can you recommend a inexpensive FXO/FXS card?

Michael. Although the SPA-3102 will allow you to connect to your pstn I've
found that it isn't all that good of a unit. I have the earlier model, the
3000, and constantly had to battle with echo. Now that I have a X100P FXO
card the echo is all gone. Consider getting an internal FXS/FXO card. They
can be had for just a little more than what you would pay for the 3102 but
in my opinion you will not regret it. As for calling both the cell and home
phone, yes very simple, but will require you to have another trunk besides
your pstn to send the outgoing call over.

Thanks for the advice. I have decided for now to keep Bell. I am
looking to buy a Linksys SPA-3102 to connect my PSTN to my home phones.
A quick scenario question:
Once it has been all hooked up - I want an incoming call to not only
ring the home phone but also ring my cell. Is this possible?
What else do I need? Do I need to purchase a an outgoing SIP Line?

Hi There.
If you are looking at canceling your Bell phone line, you might want
to consider going with a phone provider that will still be able to
offer you 911 service. Although I currently do not use them, I have
been looking into Unlimitel since they offer 911 service and you can
port your phone number over to them.
A number of people on the list here seem to use Unlimitel and from
what I have heard it is good.
Good luck.
Chris
PS. Enjoy building your system this weekend. I set up mine a few weeks
ago with a computer I bought for $30 used from a computer store. It
doesn't take much to get up and running!

I sent to the Ottawa Asterisk User Group but the site and mailing list
seems to be down.
I would like to build a TRIXBOX this weekend and eventually cancel
phone service with Bell.
My experience as I haven't got to a meeting yet is ready the book
"Trixbox Made Easy".
I am currently a Teksavvy DSL user - I guess I would have to switch to
dry DSL (or would I be better off with cable internet?) I am looking
for a recommendation for a service provider - perhaps with the option
of keeping my old number.
Most of my calling is local - so would prefer a unlimited local
bundled price.
Features not that important - what I need I hope to make Asterisk do
for me.
I am currently in the market for an ATA adapter - seems like the
PAP2T-NA is the one to get - correct?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
