I think I have 3 PSTN lines because I can connect a normal telephone to them all and make calls between each of them. We have 5 normal telephones and 1 panasonic.
>From what I got I need a PC and a of PCI card to interface to my 3 external lines and my 6 internal lines. For the PC I was planning to use the smallest PC posible like a HP Proliant Microserver but it doesn´t have space for this PCI card. Is there another way to interface to 3 external and 6 internal lines??
