Ken,<br>
Also stay away from Swissvoice phones<br>
<br>
I have found several ways to do the second thing.<br>

using Snom phones like the Snom 300 for around $99.<br>
<br>
2 Asterisk boxes in different locations? Sure, you can do that and its
quite easily. <br>

everyone for the input. After pricing everything we need out,<br>
it's not worth trying to get our old system to work, so I've pitched<br>
ditching everything and starting over. I'm very excited and hoping<br>
they'll go for it. <br>
<br>
Regardless, I'm going to throw a box together for my house, we have no<br>
home phone (just cell phones) so this'll be a great way of testing.<br>
<br>
All that being said, any comments on the Grandstorm phones? I've <br>
ordered the GS-101 for my house, and I'm seeing the GXP-2000 is VERY<br>
inexpensive for a business solution. I see it has room for 4 lines with<br>
7 programmable buttons. I assume I can put a few more lines on the<br>
programmable buttons (we have 6 lines at our main location).<br>
<br>
One last newbie question, I assume if I have an Asterisk PBX at 2<br>
locations in different states, I'll be able to transfer a call that<br>
comes into location1 to a user at location2. <br>
<br>
Thanks again for the quick responses & help.<br>

If these are older comdials then they are just analog phones with "extra<br>
signaling". The extra signaling could be on the main twisted pair<br>
(likely) or on the next twisted pair as data (9600 baud modem) like
some <br>
of the nortels do. Always remember that it would cost the companies a<br>
ton to make every system totally closed....<br>
<br>
That being said, the entry price for IP phones or ADSI phones can be<br>
much lower than you think. Find a good consultant in your area, get an
<br>
ATA, a TDM card, and an Aastra/SNOM/Polycom/Granstream to play with.<br>
You can order the Aastra phones from your local electrical supply<br>
company (the place with a long counter and lots of electricians drinking<br>
coffee ordering their parts.).<br>
