For a VOIP basic lab you need
At least two analog telephony devices/connections (eg telephone, pstn phone
line)
At least two routing devices (ie routers) with network connectivity and
appropriate interfaces for the above devices. (eg 2600, MC3810)
connectivity/routes between the routers.
==========
eg1
Two telephones
Two 2600 routers
Two NM-1V Voice network modules
Two VIC-2FXS
eg2
Two telephones
Two MC3810
Two AVM3 or AVM6 (Analog voice modules)
Two FXS APMs (Analog Personality Modules)
==========
If you are using a PSTN line instead of a telephone then replace FXS with
FXO
If you are buying used from auction sites such as Ebay then eg2 will work
probably out to be a lot cheaper option and just as capable as the 2600
router (in terms of voice, basic routing).
