Why not look at getting a provider that can port your numbers to their
network and buying the DID's off them over VoIP?

Thanks for all the great replies. I guess I over-asked my question (since so
many kept popping up).
For now, what I really need to determine is what I need to budget for a full
implementation. Unfortunately, I don't have time now to do testing and
analysis... I just need to get my budget submitted. So I'm trying to figure
out what all I'll need to buy and budget for. Obviously this is pretty hard,
since I understand so little about telecom.
So that said... Can anyone help me in determining what all I will need? The
only thing I really need is one ballpark figure for a grand total cash
outlay. However, it it is too low, I may be hosed. If it is too big, the
project may be cut out of the budget. So I'd like to get within, say $5K of
the actual expected cost.
The items I had identified in my original post were:
- A server, running Debian Linux or OS X (our preferred operating systems
here)
- A good network. We're on switched 100 Base-T, but will move to gigabit next
year.
- A T1 or some dedicated channels of a T1
- Gateway PCI cards or devices (in the case of OS X, only devices I guess)
- VOIP phones or phone software (I'd like to use software and USB handsets)
Are there more things I need? Or does someone have a rough estimate of what
it costs to implement an Asterisk system in a small business? We have about
50 users and currently have something like 20 POTS lines coming into our PBX.
Thanks again.
