<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">I think that you probably can just use two Sipura ATAs to connect a remote extension. The key question is whether you can just plug a regular analog phone (Like you would have at home) into an extension port on the Vodavi and have it work. If so, you're in business. If not, more difficult/impossible.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Tom</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Sep 28, 2005, at 2:17 AM, Paul Conn wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"> <DIV class="Section1"><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">The PBX is a Vodavi.

I know this is easily done IF Asterisk is the PBX but in this case the customer already has an existing PBX and I want to augment it using Asterisk.
