Hi all - sorry if
what I'm asking is FAQ by now - I only have 2789 digest messages that I've not
read yet...
The local phone
company (Bell South) has gotten completely out of hand with their rates, and
with them suing anyone who wants to compete against them... So, I'm
thinking very hard about going ALL VOIP here at home.
Hardware I
have:
Old 586
chassis
Old Pentium II
laptop
Azatel 2 port
adapter (Board ID C02v001.01.00 / Firmware 1.5.6-RC14)
I also have 3 AMD
Athlons running Windows 2000.
What I want to
do....
Broadvoice will give
me 2 lines, with 2 phone numbers each - distinctive ring - for a reasonable
fee...
I want to handle
processing the calls incoming on each number differently -
line 1a = home
phone, if no answer after 5 rings, run to asterisk for call processing (voice
mail tree?)
Line 1b =
(distinctive ring number) goes directly to fax machine (fax detects distinctive
ring pattern for auto answer)
Line 2a = 'business
phone' - ring, and process to voicemail if no answer (with other post
processing - SMS to my cell phone, etc.)
Line 2b = 'kids
phone number' - or something...
I'm thinking
Asterisk because broadvoice provides voice mail 'PER LINE' not per number... and
with asterisk I can do lots more!
So, can I run
asterisk on the laptop - and have the calls routed to the Azatel to ring the
phones??
Any thoughts?
Clarifications?? Has anyone done something like this before? Can
asterisk run on windows 2000 if it does not need to use
hardware?
Thanks a MILLION
times in advance, guys (and gals!)!
John
