[asterisk-users] Newbie Questions

[Lacy Moore - Aspendora]

You can put the Asterisk system in front (i.e., between the PSTN and your
Comdial system).  This will let Asterisk choose whether the call should go
out over the PSTN or the Internet using VoIP.

You would use the same for the second location, provided that is a complete
Comdial system.  You could not, however, just put Comdial phones over there
and expect it to work.  You also would not be "on the same phone system."
But, if you are looking at tying two offices together using VoIP (and not
paying long distance), then yes, this would work.

With the right dial plan, you could possibly dial direct if the Comdial has
an autoattendant.  In this case, Asterisk would dial into the remote
Comdial, wait, then dial the extension number and complete the call.  On the
local COmdial, you would most problably have to dial a 9 to get to the
Asterisk system.  I imagine, you may be able to use speeddials for the
remote extensions which would automatically dial the 9.

The possibilities are endless.
