Hi All,
Please excuse my newbie questions, but figured this would be the best
place to ask. I have been reading up on VOIP and implementing Asterisk
as a PBX. I'm still left wondering if Asterisk supports multiple lines
at once? If I had one land line, voip line, and asterisk setup and 10
people called my number, would all 10 people be able to speak to their
appropriate party at the same time, or would the other 9 get a busy
signal?

Unless you had a voip service that allowed that many incoming calls and also setup a busy redirect on your land line they would get a busy signal.


Also, could this work with outgoing calls?

Again depends on if your voip service allows that many calls on the same account at the same time.

If this DOES work,
can anyone explain how it works? More importantly, at what point does
the analog line move to the VOIP line, and how is the connection
maintained?

Your pstn land line can only handle 1 call at a time

To handle more at the same number you need a rollover or busy redirect. Then you could forward the next calls to another number. Either more land lines or a voip provider number.

I'm sure I'm "nuking" this out, but I'm still trying to
figure out most of the acronyms related to all this stuff.

Thanks. :)
Jim
