Folks, I am a newbie to the VOIP world and have a question (might as well sound silly to some). I would like to set up a PC-to-Phone call from my desktop to a regular PSTN number. Does the Asterisk PBX itself act as a VOIP-PSTN gateway or do I have to subscribe to a VOIP provider for this? Are there any free IP-PSTN gateways which I can subscribe to? Do I need any specific hardware to set up such calls?
If there is no additional hardware or subscription to a VOIP provider required, are there any resources that have information about configuring asterisk for such gateway functionality? Note: I believe that for receiving calls, you may need some form of a FXO card or something, but if my requirement is to just make calls from a softphone on my computer to a PSTN no. and NOT vice versa, do I still need any additional hardware? Thanks in advance, Aniket. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
