[Asterisk-Users] Questions about VOIP phones

I dont know what 1-800 means or if we have an equivalent in South Africa,  
but we have gov protected telecom monopoly (makes most options expensive).

No old PBX, I'm setting it up from scratch, which is nice. Unfortunately I  
know nothing of these things and will have to learn really fast.

I need phone lines at both offices and PBX at both offices.

Also: We dont have a static IP (Broadband in SA sucks! 512k capped to 3  
gig with dynamic IP) will that be a problem hooking the two offices up?  
How much voices can be carried on 512k (assuming it always runs at 512k)

I assume the hookup if two *'s are used will be with AIX.

Thanks,
Kobus
