It's really kinda silly to have a great box like Asterisk and not use VoIP with it. Whenever you use a VoIP phone all you need is the network connection. That is the best way of using Asterisk. There's a good idea to have a Digium card as some Asterisk functions require a clock signal, from one of their cards. You can always use s/w to generate the clock but h/w is more solid. - -- Steve "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
