Asterisk won't work as a recording server if the call doesn't go through it. In the IP world it means that both media (RTP) and signalling must pass through asterisk, and in the E1/T1 digital or analog world it means that the call must be bridged through asterisk. A simple dialplan would explain it: exten => s,1,Answer() ;Asterisk receives the call, from the lecagy PBX or from the external link (this should be two different contexts) exten => s,n,MixMonitor(blah....) ; Records the conversation, exten => s,n,Dial(Tech/peer/number...,30,rtTwhatever) ; and sends the call back to the legacy PBX or to an external link If you want to record 100% calls, you would have to route every call through asterisk, even internal PBX calls. Even if you want to tap your legacy PBX to a non-asterisk recording server like the ones suggested before in this thread, the calls must go through a link to make tapping possible and you should seek an alternate solution to the internal calls within your legacy PBX. The beauty of asterisk and open source IP-PBXs relies on the native recording capabilities which makes things really easy. When you see that asterisk works and that can do the recordings and much more, you would start thinking on making asterisk your main PBX solution and leaving that legacy PBX for minimal uses.
