[asterisk-users] Hardware that can ring my phone?

[Tim Litwiller]

Do you think you'll outgrow 1 phone line any time soon.  If so You'll 
want something that you don't have to completely redo when you add the 
next line.  That digium card you linked to has 2 more expansion slots 
open for more lines or phones.

The soho pbx you linked to looks like you can have more phones, but only 
one line, so you'd have to get the 2 or more line model later if your 
business grew.
.... searching.....

Oh, it looks like the a a SP-416 on Ebay for $99 + $108 shipping from 
Hong Kong
I don't know what is inside of the box, but it looks like an interesting 
product.
