Via so-called Analogue Terminal Adaptors (ATAs). These are basically a SIP phone with an FXS interface instead of a handset and keypad. Alternatively, up to four analogue phones could be connected through something like a TDM400P fitted with four FXS modules. Note that ATAs are not cheap! Replacing the analogue phones with SIP phones might actually work out less expensive. > 2. Would they be losing any features that they currently have with their > analog PBX? This is very unlikely. Check the feature set to be sure. Asterisk is basically a telephony construction kit; so the chances are, any feature they seem to be missing can be added, either in the dialplan or with an AGI script. -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
