<p class=MsoNormal>Hi<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Been lurking on the user list for a while but I have some
what of an immediate requirement and I’m wondering if you can suggest the
best solution (if mines a rubbish idea)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have been testing Asterisk as a bolt on to our Mitel
3300.. its been doing some softphones for users abroad, etc and I’m happy
with the fact I want to progress to a full system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However during this testing phase 2 customers of mine (I’m
a IT Service Provider) have ask for some managed, collocated small business
servers, which include the requirement for me to host their phones.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>No Problem I thought, I’m well on the way to this
anyhow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So I’m thinking (although not tried it) that if I got
my Asterisk box running for my company (E1 card for outside link) I would AIX
the hosted PBX for the customers to my PBX to allow them to make outgoing
calls. I would get my teleco to provide phone numbers for them and also get my
PBX to redirect that number to the hosted PBX.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is this correct so far? Or should I keep their system separate?
Or should I forget my PBX and push their incoming / outing calls out to a SIP /
AIX provider on the net and wash my hands of it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also I know you can run multi context on one host BUT can
they also run the same extension numbers? Or would I have to let one company
have 401-410 and the next company have 411 to 420, etc, etc (I’m guessing
that’s the case)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>And lastly.. Call accounting.. Certainly found a lot of good
info about certain call accounting applications but as anyone got any good
feedback about one they personally use.. Id like to feed it GNU / Open Source /
Free while I build myself up.. Although I don’t want to compete with the
big boys, Id like to think I could get 20 or so customers co-located.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Tim<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
