I would do ATAs connected to walmart wireless handsets for wireless phones. Seems cheaper/easier.<div><br></div><div>Sounds like a cool deployment and I agree with Fred -- this sounds like the perfect application of *, rather than overkill.</div>

Because they really don't need any of the feature set and my hope is that they won't need to come to me for questions/admin/maintenance. I'd prefer to give them something I can walk away from and will have very minimal set up time. I'm also not sure about wireless endpoints being I usually use Polycom 550s. I could throw a sipura I have in the basement onto a wireless base station which would make all the DECT phones a single extension. <br>

> Hello all, normally I pitch Asterisk based solutions but I think for this particular case, it would be overkill. Â My son's school (45 students total for grades 1-8, so very small, very limited budget) just added some office space across the street from the school.

</div></div>Especially for the money, how would Asterisk be overkill?<br>
<br>
I would recommend either Asterisk, Asterisk NOW, FreePBX, or AstLinux.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
