Hi, I don't know quite how to ask this question, because my knowledge is so limited at this time. I have an h323 phone that I am trying to use to do VOIP to phones on the PSTN. I want to sign up for a service and not have it go out my POTS line. I do have a Quicknet Line jack in my RH 9 box and it is fully confiugred. I have downloaded the latest drive from openh323.org and installed it and the module loads correctly when called.
What I am confused about is how Asterisk will interact with an h323 gateway. Will I lose an functionality of the Asterisk PBX because of this. What I am ultimately trying to do is have a heterogeneous group of phones(Cisco, avaya, snome, etc) in my company that can use the Asterisk PBX for all their functionality not matter what protocol or Codec that use. Is this something that is wishful thinking? Also, do I need an h323 gateway for my h323 phone and Asterisk. If so, how does Asterisk use this h323 gateway? I thought Asterisk was the gateway for all calls into and out of the phone system, is this not correct? These questions may be trivial to most of you, but for someone new to this exciting technology it is not.
