[Asterisk-Users] Newbie just starting out with *

[Chris Hirsch]

Hey all...I'm brand new to * and I want to convert my home into a pbx 
type setup. I've figured out that I want a Wildcard X100P to bring my 
single POTS CO into my Linux box. My problem is that I'm sure sure what 
I need to do to get my analog phones connected up into a structured 
phone system. It *looks* like I can go the route of the Cisco Analog -> 
VOIP for about $100 on ebay. That will get me two analog devices on the 
system. If I have four analog devices (2 normal phones, 1 fax and one 4 
phone cordless system) is this the best setup? Do I need the TDM10B with 
the Asterisk TDM Dev Kit or does that just let me do one analog phone 
into the system? When converting from analog to VOIP do I get all the 
same features that I would if I got a TDM400P (4 ports of analog devices)?

As I said I'm new and I would LOVE any pointers, HOWTOs or any good 
advice from people who have already done something similar. This project 
started out because I'm tired of the telemarketers calling and it looks 
like this will be the best and most flexable way to get my phone system 
wired up. I'm interested in any opinions on any real VOIP phones for a 
house (assuming VOIP) is the way to go.

I envision that I could have a phone in every room, be able to do an 
intercom, MOH so I can hear music in each room etc....ideas?

Thanks for the help and your patience,
Chris
