[Asterisk-Users] interfacing w/ a legacy InterTel PBX

[Mimmus]

I connected an Asterisk server and a legacy Alcatel PBX using this method.
Remember that crossover cable is not an Ethernet crossover cable but a
special one (search the wiki).
In Italy, alphanumeric caller IDs are not used, only numbers and I'm able to
use them between two systems.
