<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Essentially what I would like to do is create a system
comparable to the ShoreTel ShoreGear product line (if you are familiar with
it). This system will seamlessly unite all offices as one and provide failover
in the case of line outage. It also allows users to roam from phone to phone
across offices seamlessly. It has many more features, but those are two main
features I am looking for. About 40 total phones will be deployed. To make it
even more difficult, I would like all user extensions to start the same (i.e.
across offices all extensions are 5### with no discernable
pattern).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">At this time I have determined that I will need a
server at each office as well as a T1 card (TE110P) at the Main office and the
four port TDM PSTN cards at each remote office. I plan on using the Polycom IP
430 or 501 (Undecided, 501 if required). I have been using TrixBox to this
point, would like to continue if possible. It appears that I will want to use
DunDi in some fashion to unite the branches.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">My main roadblock right now is trying to figure out
how to get all the information across the offices at the same time
(extensions, voicemail). I have successfully had two boxes communicate, but
what I am looking for is much more complex I feel. I have thought of
synchronized MySQL databases, but I do not know if that will work the way I
wish.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">If anyone reads this far ;) I am looking for
suggestions for routes I might consider or places I should/could look for more
information. I am relatively new to Asterisk, but I am not afraid to get my
hands dirty. If something I said did not make any sense or if there is more
information I could provide, I am happy to help where I can. Thank you for
your time and assistance.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
