I am sure this is slightly offtopic for this list but it seems there are a number of smart people here. My company is experimenting with Asterisk with great success. We are looking to integrate it into our current phone system to run the phones out of a new suite of offices (same building hard wired). I have almost no knowledge of the current phone system other then what I get told from our phone contractor. We currently have a Samsung iDCS 500 digital phone system (Apparently release 1, whatever that meens) running Telekol Minitel 3.91B (if that even matters?).
In its current setup I setup a zaptel trunk to an analog circuit witch actually works great. Running a number of offices off of a single analog line has its obvious downsides. Obviously I could hook multiple analog lines up to the system and have multiple zaptel trunks but this seems a bit micky mouse (not to mention just how many lines I would need). I would rather have a SIP trunk (or some other trunk by all means) to be handed off from the current system to go into asterisk. Now that you have the background I am hoping someone here has the knowledge to either confirm or deny what the contractor is telling me. I am being told that I have to upgrade to release 2 in order to integrate asterisk...simple question, is this true? My hunch is i could probably buy a module for release 1 that would give me this capability.
