That's what an FXS port is for, it provides dial tone and other functions
that a CO would provide. I don't know if you could plug your entire phone
'network' into it or not. You might try asking or searching the
asterisk-users mailing list, it's a very active list.

You don't have to put any money into it. Check out some of the soft
phones from Xten or sipphone. I actually bought a SIP phone for $89 just
so the wife wouldn't have to talk with a headset. That's all I needed to
do the asterisk to asterisk comm. I spent $100 to buy a card to hook up

That's what I like about the IAX protocol, it's NAT friendly and perfect
for what I"m using it for. The hardware is fairly cheap as well. I
bought a Digium x100p card that I hooked up my incoming line to so callers
coming in come into asterisk and then can ring extensions, check vmail,
etc. Over

IAXy analog-phone to VoIP box from Digium.com and the Nufone.net service.
The IAX protocol (supported by Asterisk) can go through firewalls and NAT
translations. You just hook the box up to an Ethernet that has DHCP serv

They have versions for Windows, OS X, and Linux.
