Thanks for all the responses so far. I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions as I get closer to rolling this out in the office instead of my home since it's a little more critical there.
I need to start with the analog cards in the first location since it's a two line office, one coming from Bell, one coming from Vonage. T1 won't be optional until the first small office has a proven track record with the Asterisk server. If I need to go with the 2 FXO / 2 FXS configuration is Digium the best hardware to run with? The other thing I'm doing is running this as a voicemail system for a Nortel 3x8 KSU. My planning has been on using services on the system through an ATA adapter since I only had an analog modem on the PC for testing. I can't find a digital adapter that would allow more complete integration. Has anyone found a better way to integrate Asterisk for voicemail since it won't be replacing the Meridian system at least in the short term? <snip> What's wrong with whiteboxes? Seriously? <snip> As for why not white boxes, just not the one I bought for testing. I don't mind branded servers or just branded components. I won't run a $250 (complete minus monitor) bargain basement test system as a production machine though. Call me paranoid. :)
