Please log in for more thread options on one line? in other words, lets say I have a office of 10 people and they want to share 5 phone numbers, well does SBC give me 5 different lines (as in 5 different copper cables? or do they give me like a trunk like that has all 5 lines on it?) what kind of hardware do I need to house those lines on an IP PBX? anyone? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

No idea who "SBC" is, but from a VoIP provider you can get 5 incoming

Even if you just have 5 INCOMING numbers you can make as many OUTGOING calls as your internet connection is able to carry. You just need someone with a gateway, who is routing these VoIP call into the public network. This should be available at very low cost of say a cent per minute or so. And you not need BUYing incoming numbers. You can get them without any cost from IPKALL.com. The rest is just configuration. or do they give me like a > trunk like that has all 5 lines on it?) what kind of hardware do I
Best choice for internal VoIP PBX is Asterix running on Linux. You will
> need to house those lines on an IP PBX? only need a minimal hardware to run it. Then it is quite simple and you just need VoIP phones at your LAN to finish the calls. Maybe Headsets or Handsets with USB connections at the PC's in your LAN will suffice if these are running all the time. Wolfgang | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Thankfully, I just found this newsgroup and struggling to find a solution
for my phones. I am planning on downsizing my small business the first of the year and move it back to my home. The current system I have at my office was purchased in 1992 and state of the art at that time. Needless to say it is pretty much a door stop by today's standard. I need 3 lines and decided to give Voip a call mainly because of cost and also wiring home. I do not intend to move the old office system here. The hosted IP PBX providers look promising but I am running into trying to find the right phones. My wife's office is on the 2nd floor of the house, mine is in the basement. Both are wired with Cat5 cabling, computers are networked with linksys, and Roadrunner is used. I can buy say a linksys 4 line voip phone. That takes care of the office upstairs. But where do I find another desk (base) phone for downstairs. I see also that one can buy other phones that come with additional wireless handsets which would work, but it is difficult to work on a handset all day. Any ideas or advice really appreciated. At this point I don't know the best way to proceed. Don Harvey > news8080@yahoo.com schrieb:
