Thanks everyone for your replies so far. I've pretty much concluded that going for a full Asterisk solution is the best longer term solution and that's what I'll do. We're moving office before May so that's the perfect time to put in a new phone system.
But, I need to implement something quick-time just to buy me some time to do a full Asterisk solution. With that in mind, a couple of questions below: Gordon Henderson said at 02/11/2010 16:39: > On Tue, 2 Nov 2010, Ronny Adsetts wrote: >> 1.

It is a waste of resources I agree but might be the easiest way forward. As I mentioned above, I need a quick and dirty short term solution to buy me some time to scrap the Samsung and replace with Asterisk. I have an "analogue extensions" card in the Samsung that we currently use for a fax and answer-phone for one of our numbers (long story). What hardware would I need in the Asterisk so I could hook up some analogue extensions? Am I right in thinking I need something like an FXO/FXS card? I imagine I could then route (effectively hard-wire) those extensions direct each to a specific SIP phone using Asterisk? Thanks again for all your help so far.
