I'm confident asterisk can manage such a setup, but you will need a damn good consultant to set it up. :) (You cannot buy just a huge asterisk machine, you will need some kind of cluster to do this). Joachim (zoa) jafar mohammed wrote: Hi all, I am to come up with a proposal to setup a network

4. Fiber will run to the main Telecommunication provider(PSTN) and 2 mobile providers. [snip] Keep in mind that their is no need for T1/PRI or any other type of external lines. Asterisk is to switch the voice data only. How are you linking to the PSTN referenced in (4) above then? How many
