[Asterisk-Users] FXS or VOIP

[John Crew]

What about fax machines working over a PRI T1
line?  Run FXS ports to each fax machine and the
TDM card will convert the digital T1 to analog
for faxing?

I have no POTS lines, just a T1 (PRI soon if I
find out I can use asterisk for regular POTS-type
faxing).

I think what he means is that an * server can
support hundreds of phones
because the server connects to the network via a NIC.
Port count becomes irrelevant when you thing
about VoIP phones
connecting to a VoIP server.  They connect over
the network not point to
point.
It is just a matter of bandwidth and network
topography at that point.

If your desire it to connect a bunch of analog
phones then you can use
ATAs.
I would recommend that you just replace them though.

You should only need to worry about your POTS
lines at this point.
If you have 4 POTS lines, a single 4 port TDM
card will suffice.

Cheers,
W

I am sorry, I don't understand. Are you talking
about analog FXS phones?
All the PCI cards I have seen have a max of 4 FXS
lines and the external
boxes seem very expensive.
