You might want to look at http://www.mediatrix.com/ They have a 24 port FXS VoIP gateway that might be perfect for your dorms because you can lock them away in wiring closets in each building where they will not suffer the wear and tear of college life. Your students can bring their own single line (a lot of students like cordless) phones instead of the more expensive IP phones. You would be using your IP network for building-to-building communication and building-to-PSTN communication.
Of course you could still use Snom, Pingtel, and the rest in administrative and other offices where they need office type phones. Asterisk (or several of them) with PRI/E1 cards would act as your PSTN gateway, SIP proxy, voicemail, etc. Sean _______________________________________________ Sean Robertson NETXUSA p. 800-289-6389 f. 864-233-4344 "Ask me about Voice over IP." http://www.netxusa.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tarun Banka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 3:20 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Any Universiry using Asterisk ?? > Hello all, > > Does anyone has experience of deploying Asterisk based VoIP > solution in a universitywide campus.
