1. It makes so much sense, I have the same here at my home/office. One PSTN line on a genuine X100P; a dozen extensions on Sipuras; a handful of lines from Vonage (don't ask), Broadvoice, sipgate, etc. 2. I'm using Sipura SPA-2000s -- $50/port. Linksys PAP2-NA is also an option if you can find them -- $30/port. 3. From what I've read on this list (go google a little), there seem to be a good number of problems with the TDM400P as relates to FXO ports. Not sure how well FXSs are working, but considering the cost/port, a low-cost IP phone or a Sipura with analog phone are good functional alternatives. If you want ADSI, you'll need some sort of Zapata tho.
In my case, I found a 900MHz Duron to be powerful enough for the two or three conversations that could happen here at one time. > -----Original Message----- > From: Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 2:57 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk for home office > > > I apoligize in advance for this newbie question on what I > perceive as a mostly advanced level list...
