I'm doing some volunteer work with a non-profit (in Guatemala), and they want me to set up a small Asterisk server (as they've been waiting 2 weeks for the PABX serviceman to come out and he charges $US75/hr - expensive for a 3rd world country).
I just want to check with the Asterisk 'experts' that I'm on the right track with hardware: * they have 3 analog phone lines, which would therefore require a PCI card with 3 FXO modules? * at the high end, I've recommended a "Digium Wildcard TDM400P" with 4 x FXO's ($US421) - does this sound right? * at the low end, I've recommended a "X100P FXO PCI" ($US29.95) - does this sound right? Comments about the above hardware, or recommendations for cheaper/better hardware? I'm aware of the goodness of "echo cancellation", "a decent server" and an FXS module for connecting an analog handset for emergencies - I think it's going to be a process of showing them what Asterisk can do, then getting money for a proper server/addins/cards/etc. -- Sonia Hamilton blog: http://SoniaHamilton.wordpress.com -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
