PSTN and VOIP in one box peasngrits 08-08-06

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a box available to allow me to join both my
telco single line and my vonage line together in one box. I'm in the
Bahamas. I would like to be able to call in from my cell or other landline
and enter some type of code or function that then allows me to receive a
dial tone from my vonage box and make a call. Similar to a pbx I guess,
but with only two lines. My Vonage box is the Cisco ATA-186.
So I would go from my vonage box into the " new switch box or something"
with a phone line, and my telco line would also go into the "new switch
box or something".

Thanks. I don't know if this is something that can be done with Asterisk,
a linux box and two regular modems, but can someone confirm that please?

Yes Asterisk can be used to do this.

Get a Sipura FXS/FXO box and attach your Vonage line to the in on that box
and then the out of that box to a real land line then set up your dial plan
in Asterisk to do what you want.

So you're saying that I need to use both the Sipura box and Asterisk? I
would have thought it would be one or the other.
I have to read up on Asterisk some more, but how would the asterisk box be
connected to the sipura box? Would asterisk then be controlling the sipura
box as a switch?

You could use one of the FXO/FXS PCI cards for the Asterisk PC instead of
the Sipura box. You can get them from Digium or buy one of ebay

http://www.digium.com/en/products/hardware/devkit.php

The FXO goes to the telco, the FXS goes to the Vonage line.

The Sipura SPA-300, all by itself, will allow you to call out on POTS
line from a SIP connection. Download the SPA-3000 manual from Sipura
to see the full set of gatewaying functions it can do.

The problem you'll find is that Vonage doesn't really let you use your
own equipment. They want you to use theirs and they lock it down so
you can't change anything.

(BTW. I have a spa-3000 but just use it with asterisk. I did see all
the standalone gatewaying functions in the manual but have never used
them.)
