[asterisk-users] zaptel telephone cards and asterisk in another pc

[Jeff LaCoursiere]

I'll take a leap and assume you have POTS lines run to people's desks, and 
you want to combine them all into one switch so they can be used by all?

To do this you should get FXO ATA's - like the Linksys SPA3102.  Register 
this device with your asterisk server.  In FreePBX you can make it a trunk 
and group all of them in an outbound route.

So at each desk that has a POTS line have one of these devices.  I think 
it even has an FXS port, so you could give them an analog extension at 
their desk as well.
