[Asterisk-Users] New PBX Help

[Mike Wagner]

That's all extremely way over my head.  I have no pbx knowledge at 
all... and we're a small organization, so we can't afford to buy the 
modem cards just to test it out.

Guess I'm going to have to do some reading.

I don't want a VOIP based solution.  We'd like to get numbers through 
the phone company, and use Asterisk as a standard pbx.
