I'm looking to start playing with Asterisk as soon as I get some H/W.
I tele-commute from home and have three POTS lines, home, work and work
FAX.
I'm looking at a setup that will have a couple high end phones (3-6) SIP
phones, a couple medium SIP phones, a couple of inexpensive SIP phones
and a couple of FXS ports for cordless phones (until 802.11 SIP phones
become viable). I'll probably drop down to two POTS lines and add an
IAX(2) connection to a VoIP provider. And I may want to add a
doorphone.
I've spent hours perusing the Wiki and have been monitoring this list
for a little while.
At first I was thinking of a TDM400Ps for ports. But after the recent
posts it looks like a better solution would be a pair of SPA-3000s
(three if I want a door phone) and SPA-2000s for additional FXS ports.
For the medium and high-end phones, the Polycomm IP-500 and IP-600 look
like a good balance of functionality and price. There seem to be lots
of options at the lower end (BudgeTone, Sipura).
Am I headed in the right direction here?
Thanks.
Jeff
