What I don't understand is how FreePBX answers my question about the Linksys SPA3102 being good for a mission critical solution or not. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Yes of course I didn't mean an ancient distro from 2005. 1) Rent a DID (a 'PSTN number') from a reputable SIP provider. This eliminates the need for a PCI/USB interface and you won't disrupt your 'business' while you figure out how to configure and test your Asterisk server. That's not possible in many areas here in Italy, including the place where I live. The national Telco (Telecom Italia) owns the last mile almost everyehere and other companies do not invest money to bring their cables outside large cities. Telecom Italia does not offer data only plans to private customers in rural areas. 2) Ditch the 'room warmer' and find something really small and cheap to run. I live in San Diego and we pay $0.32 per kWh. I'd guess running your rig would cost me $50.00 to $100.00 per month just in electricity My rig is already running a bunch of other things and it must stay powered for other reasons, so that's not an issue. However, your suggestions made me consider your solution not for me, but for a friend who is moving his office to a new place, hence the new subject of this message. For him, the requisites would be quite similar to what I need at home, except: 1. the whole thing becomes mission critical, he obviously can't accept random hangups of the telephony system at work 2. the calls in a day raise to about 50, but he still has only one POTS line with two numbers, one for voice and one for fax (ehm, yes, in 2015 in Italy someone still uses the fax...). However the faxes are rare and can be handled by the traditional fax machine he already owns. 3. I think he could actually move everything to SIP only, but I need to double check that with him to be sure, so I assume a no here for the time being 4. He already has the server, even more powerful than mine (some dual Xeon with 64GB of RAM and a bunch of Terabyes of RAID storage...) 5. there are 20 phones in his office, instead of the 4 phones at my home, but the model is the same (they all ring on incoming calls and the 1st off hook takes the call, while the others can still make internal calls) Now the question is: given the modified requirements above, is the linksys spa3102 a reasonable solution? -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] small homebrew pbx
Hello all, I'm new here and I'm interested in building a small PBX with asterisk at home. I have one single PSTN line and ethernet cabling in place. I already have fairly decent PC that I can use (AMD FX 8350 16GB of RAM and RAID 10 SATA disks). I make and receive 10 calls a day on average. I want 4 IP phones connected to the ethernet network. When there is a incoming call, all phones must ring and the first that takes the call makes the others stop ringing, but lets them available for internal calls. Given the requirements above, what's a cheap but working PCIe card / USB adapter I could buy for this kind of PBX? Do I need things like echo cancellation? Do I need FXS ports? Thanks in advance, Lucio. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
