I now have an OpenVox A400P and it is working well. Thanks to Ade Vickers for the recommendation, which I second.
However, I need to make a slow transition between a conventional multiple-extension setup and a full VoIP network on these premises. So at the moment the Asterisk box shares the PSTN connection with several conventional analogue handsets. The desired result for an incoming call is that the Asterisk server will wait N seconds before answering (which I can arrange easily enough), and if the call has been answered on one of the handsets by that time the Asterisk server should ignore it completely. Otherwise it should start checking CLID, prompting for extensions, and other good stuff, which again I know how to do. What is a good approach to making sure the Asterisk server doesn't pick up a call that has been answered elsewhere? (Ideally in pure dialplan, but a perl AGI would also do.)
