[Asterisk-Users] which hardware should i use??????????

[Wiley Siler]

I recommend checking the following site...
www.voip-info.org

Lots of info for you there...

By VoIP phones, I think you are meaning "soft phones" which are software
based.
You will need a headset for the PC that runs the software phone.
Usually Logitech or Plantronics at about $50 a headset.

If you want a hardware phone on a budget then Snom and Grandstream are
popular.

The Asterisk servers only need a card if they will be connected to the
PSTN.  So for a bunch of POTS line you want a TDM card or a channel bank
and T1 card.  The T1 card for a real newbie would be the Digium brand.
A more advanced user might consider a Sangoma.

Good luck and hope you are doing well in Pakistan.

Cheers,
Wiley

hy all 

i need a suggesion on what hardware should i use for the following case
study

i have five offices each will be having 35 to 45 extensions. if i will
be using voip fones for those extensions( either it is iax or sip )
which one will be better and cheaper what should i use. all the five
offices will be connected through asterisk servers ( one in each of the
offices ). now the confusion is that is there any hardware needed to
connect the voip fones to the asterisk server( how we can connect them
to asterisk server ). and for outgoing calls to the pstn network which
card should be used. 

plzz guide me thouroly about the hardware. i have asked a lot of people
every one is giving his own suggestion. so i thought to ask from the
official mailing list. 

i hope that i will be getting a good response.

i live in pakistan.
