[asterisk-users] forwarding pots lines

[Dennis P. Clark]

Sorry to jump in on this but I am also interested in this topic.

In my scenario I have about 10 POTs lines brought into the front of a
facility and the only infrastructure connecting the back of the facility
is a 3000ft fiber backhaul.  I've been asked to bring the POTs lines to
the back of the facility.  

Are there any ATAs that trunk multiple POTs Lines?  Like a multiplexer
of some sort.  

If anyone has any information can you please provide the manufacturer
and model of the device?

Thank You,
Dennis

Depending on the reliability needed (is this a way to talk to a
girlfriend in another country or a mission-critical business use?) I'd
say it's better to pay a small monthly fee to someone like OnSIP.com
and use their centrex.

If it's because you have the phone lines already installed and need to
just use them at certain times, I do think there are FXO devices but
I'm not sure they will help. You wouldn't need two asterisk servers at
any rate but only one. The phones connect (through a router if need
be) to the asterisk at the phone lines + FXO end.
