If you want to step up a little bit, Asterisk+tdm-400p will allow you to use your existing handsets/phone line,
That would solve the dual use issue well. Although given that I'd prefer using an old laptop than a chunky PC machine, ISA cards don't really work. Perhaps the hardware unit (phone to IAX over Ethernet) is the way to get the handsets running ... but I'd probably need another one for the interface to existing POTS, yes?
and add VoIP back to the motherland/elsewhere. This is what I've done, and phoning to the UK @ 1p/min and a local Birmingham number @ GBP3/month flat ( and free for them to phone! ) has saved me a fortune, and made my parents somewhat happier.
I guess the costing is an issue of the backend SIP provider, and nothing to do with Asterisk itself. Are there any providers that would take on NZ calls as well as UK calls, at a decent rate? -jim
