[Asterisk-Users] I need feed back on how an Aastra VentureIP 4FXO

[Tim Litwiller]

Thanks for the heads up - I didn't see anything that said it did work 
with asterisk so I thought I better ask.

So if you where setting up a 6 - 8 telephone line system with 10 - 12 
phones and trying to stay under $3000 for the system and phones what 
would you suggest.  It sounds like if I can't do it for $3000 or under 
we will just stay with our old - outdated - partially functional phone 
system.

I can probably reuse a workstation machine. And use AAH to make install 
and configuration easy.  But that leaves some device ( suggest one to 
me) for
* 8 fxo ports -And **12 voip phones 
* I think I'll just pass the fax/dsl line directly to the fax machine 
and dsl modem since we don't use it for anything else anyways and that 
means we don't have to worry about receiving faxes thru asterisk.
** I'd like to use the new Sipura 941's but may have to go with 
grandstream 2000's because of cost.

We were supposed to have this done in November but cost issues have 
pushed it back this far already - so I'm not sure when this will happen.
