Please log in for more thread options Assume I've got a landline phone at my home. Is there any software that I can setup on my home server that would allow me to use an IP phone to register with my home server and place calls using my landline? Would this require something as complex as an actual IP PBX platform? Yes, I know you can order Vonage (or similar) service and get a wifi enabled phone, but that's not what I'm asking. ;) Thanks, Scott | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Asterisk can easily do that, coupled to an ATA with an FXO port such as the Linksys SPA-3102 to interface the telephone line (the existing phone can be kept operational by connecting it to the SPA-3102's FXS port). Enzo | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The SPA-3102 can do that on its own. Easier if your IP phone & your SPA are connected to the same VoIPSP | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

How much more secure would Asterisk be, unless callback was employed? I can only think of two methods of authentication - by CLID or PIN (Three if you count both) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
