[Asterisk-Users] Questionaire :

[niko singh]

Hi,
I have read quitea bit of the available resources and have this idea of 
asterisk. Would someone kindly answer these briefly
1-) Asterisk does not need a sound card...but if i am to record voice into 
an extension or dial from CLI ( basically use asterisk itself as a softphone 
) then i need a sound card.  : Yes/No
a-) If yes creative soundblaster pci 128 is my best bet. Yes/No

2-) Which is the best codec to use with different softphones
a-) SJphone :
b-)  Lipz4 :
c-)  Gnophone :

3-)  Hardphones need to be plugged into the DSL router ( basically need an 
internet conn ) ... and need no digium cards.
a-) for recieving calls : Yes/No
b-) for making calls : Yes/no

4-)  Sofphones run on machines different from the one running asterisk and 
can connect to asterisk , which routes the different phones according to 
contexts. Yes / no

5-) Softphone can run on the same machine as asterisk and register the same 
way as if they were ona  different machine : yes /no

6-) Softphones can behave as independent sip phones without asterisk.

Thanks
niko
