[Asterisk-Users] Generic X100P's

[Erik Espinoza]

I'm not looking to deploy a new pbx, I'm just looking to set up a
system that will call whoever is on-call that night based on a
schedule. This system would need to interact with our existing pbx,
and I think the tdm is the better approach.

Thanks for the insights, however. They are always welcome.
