[Asterisk-Users] FXS or VOIP

[William Boehlke]

You can save a little money with analog phones however if that saving is not
an issue business class VoIP phones from providers like Polycom and Cisco
have more features and much of the time better call quality.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] FXS or VOIP

Hi

I am setting up a phone system for a small office.
The office will have 5-8 phones and a fax line.
There are 4 hunt lines coming into the office.
We have made no hardware purchase yet.

Being an asterisk newbie, before I suscribed to this list I just
assumed that I would buy voip phones and connect
all the phones to a private ethernet network.

However, I see many people inquiring about FXS cards.

Is there any reason why I would need to consider using
analog phones and FXS cards? Seems to me the cheapest
way is with voip phones and voice quality should be good
since the phones are on a private network that only has
voice traffic.

Thanks
