You can put analogue phones in series, but I am not sure how many phones
a FSX connection will drag and I don't think the cards are designed for
it - don't know. Sounds to me as you would benefit from downloading
Asterisk and play around with a few softphones first and maybe buy
Digiums starter kit, cause you need to take into mind that Asterisk is
not realy a Plug & Play environment, it do require people who are
comfortable with the command prompt on Linux and have the time to fiddle
around with this (or money to pay someone to do so)

hi,
My second question: for a branch office of about 20 people, which E1
card do you advise? Would the TE210P be a good choice? (number of
concurrent calls would be max 10 for now) Why?
An E1 has 30 lines, so you would be perfect with a TE110P.
Connecting an E1 to a company PABX is however an expensiveoption,
so you might want to compare the prices with 10 analogue lines or
maybe 5 BRI lines. I would not let the price of hardware decide
this because you will need to pay a fixed cost per month for PSTN
lines, so check these prices first. Asterisk is scalable in the
sence that you can add more later if you have an available PCI slot.
Even though they don't appear to be shipping yet, don't forget the
TDM2400P's from Digium. Up to 24 FXO or FXS ports per full length
PCI card.
ok. So, with this in mind, if I was to acquire that 24 ports, 1 FXO
modules, the rest FSX modules. I could have 1 public telephone number to
the PSTN (3 wasted for this example), 20 analog phones inside the
company's branch, each phone having its extension in Asterisk? Or could
I have just the smaller card allowing me 1 FSO and 3 FSX and some kind
of "hub" to connect some number of analog phones (let's say 20)? If so,
does the number of FXS limit the number of my simultaneous telephone
calls?
Sorry for the dumb questions, but your answers are highly appreciated.
Sorry, but there is really no such thing as a "hub" for telephone
lines. Each analog phone must be plugged into its own FXS port.
