You probably want a Wildcard TDM400P setup with both FXS and FXO ports. You would hang a phone off of a FXS port. You would plug in a trunk line from your Nortel Switch into an FXO port
The Asterisk developers kit has a TDM400P that comes with one FXS port and one FXO port. http://www.digium.com/en/products/hardware/devkit.php You can generally get this for around $200 Jon === Original message from Brian Henning === First off, a hearty thank-you to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I knew I'd get a wealth of knowledge. Time for a dumb question. When I connect my Asterisk server to our existing PBX through an ATA, I'm going to hook it to a FXS module, as if it were a telephone _line_, and not to an FXO module (as if it were a telephone _set_), right?
