Yea, for two lines, get a couple of Linksys spa3102's (shudder... did I just recommend that?) and have them connect direct to voip.ms and be done with it. Voip.ms has a good set of instructions for setting up the 3102's. Leave out the complexity of a phone system. Mike On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at

I would use the free analog line for a PSTN failover, e911, and FAX line and then get SIP trunks for the main business lines. Fax doesn't work well over VOIP. Does the TWBC phone line work even if the power goes out? This also seems like a good solution for Freeswitch via the Bluebox distro.

You can also use the cheaper SPA2102s if are only using SIP lines upstream. Jeff On Mar 30, 2011, at 10:30 AM, Michael Picher wrote: Yea, for two lines, get a couple of Linksys spa3102's (shudder... did I just recommend that?) and have them connect direct to voip.ms and be done with it.

Just get a sip trunk. Realize. That adding a hardware gateway to connect to an analog line Very much dumbs the system down as far as feature sets. Pickford sample, caller id services on an analog line that has to ring twice before the call can be sent to pbx. Also consider the on hook detection,

Thanks folks! Pure play Voip.ms was my first inclination (I cut my own home bill to 1/10 of what it was using them), but I was concerned about the shelter freaking out over the 'what do you mean I can't get the phones from Walmart' syndrome, and doubled back on that thought. Also the cost of SIP
