Re: [mythtv-users] MythTV and Asterisk?
True, of course. But most people (especially those new to VoIP) want to keep their PSTN (regular telephone network) line and number, at least for a while, not make one big leap into VoIP land. An x100P (or equivalent) will let you plug Asterisk into a phone jack connected to the PSTN, and keep all your existing infrastructure (analog phones, phone #, etc.) in place. You can start out with it as a fancy answering machine (it does voice mail), and take it as far as you want. Mine does all kinds of cool things, like find me/follow me (automatically transfer calls to each family member's cell phone if they're not at home), announce incoming caller id on each computer as well as the stereo system (soon on MythTV as well), screen callers who don't have caller id, etc. cheers, john Dean Collins wrote: Not entirely correct, you use an x100p if you want to connect to the pstn, you can install asterisk without this card by connecting to a sip or iax carrier (basically a carrier that connects calls via voip) eg I use www.faktortel.com.au in Australia $9.95 a month unlimited incoming calls.
