Please log in for more thread options My company is looking into voip (we do low volt wiring, and home automation). I've setup an asterisk install in a vm (virtual machine) on one of our computers, and would like to know what the group would recomend for a card for the computer, and a handset (entry level as this is a test bed) Computer is on the network, and had broadband access. Is there a FAQ for this group? Or something that would explain things in a nutshell? Thanks | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Have you researched if additional computer hardware is going to be available via a VM session? You may check into that before investing too much more time. Thanks, Scott D.R. wrote: | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Just don't plan on using USB devices or PCI cards! You can easily hook up cheap chinese Ethernet phones like the AT320 (make sure you set up fixed IP numbers or use a DHCP server). If you need PSTN trunk access, there are many options for FXO gateways. Peter | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Yes I am a newb, but would like to have a working grasp of things before deciding to throw team labor at this. Lets say the Asterisk system is going to be sold to either a small business, or home office solution. Other than the Asterisk box, what is needed? This is why I asked in the first message what was available for a "dummies" guide or a faq. I know you folks have better things to do than hold hands. I am greatfull for your time and pointers of course. Thanks | ||||||||||||||||||||||
