ATA is the wrong term then, you were unclear in your original question. You want an FXO device. An ATA is an "Analog TERMINAL Adaptor, not an FXO port. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-ATA Not sure why you wouldn't run Asterisk on the linux box that has PCI slots..... Anyways, I guess you could run FreeSwitch or some other software that supports Zaptel/Dahdi devices. You could set up TDMoE if you are really feeling froggy. -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) +12024369784 (Skype) _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
