I know there are people using Asterisk in NZ for that sort of thing. 8 POTS extensions (lines?) doesn't seem like a lot for 150 extensions (1:18.75) You are up for a wad going with an OSS solution too really. The handsets are the killer. At around $250-$300 a handset that's near $40k - assuming you need handsets. You'd also want either a highly redundant server or multiple redundant boxes to handle that many handsets, depending of course on how critical the phone system is to the business. So there's another $5-$10k On Sunday 01 October 2006 22:18, Don Gould wrote: > Why use DECT cordless? > > Why not use WiFi phones?
