The short answer is sure, one * box can handle multiple companies, each with their individual "personalities" This will take some dial-plan coding, which may be difficult in the trixbox environment. There are "GUIs" which proclaim to specifically support this type of environment -- Thirdlane being an instance I've heard of (but have not used). I have installations with this specific environment, but using all custom dialplan coding.

Hi List...<br><br>Lets say I have been asked to do an Asterisk/Trixbox install<br>for an environment where 2 companies 'live' in the same...<br>building...<br><br>Both companies have 2 incoming Analogue BT Lines<br>
and then have good old BT Phones plugged into them..<br><br>I have been asked to setup a VoIP system for one of the<br>companies and the other company has showed an interest,<br>There is one central Server Room/Cabinet will all of the
<br>shared services (www,file server, etc, etc...) and I thought<br>of going down the lies of installing one more Dedicated *<br>Box into this cabinet with would service both companies...<br><br>My 1st questions are as follows....
<br><br>1.) can one * box host both separate phone setups and<br>handle them as separate setups.. (I.e. user in company A<br>can not dial and internal line to user in company B)<br><br>2.) can I use a Single 4 FXO port card and reserve 2 ports
<br>for one company and the other 2 ports for the other company?<br><br>This would also need to work for outgoing calls, all calls<br>made by company 1 MUST go over the 2 lines that belong<br>to company 1 and of course the same for company 2...
<br><br>3.) How easy is this setup ? or should I just make up 2<br>different * Boxes, 1 for each company ?<br><br>I hope someone could shed some light on this for me<br>and give me some idea's..<br><br>Maybe even point me in the direction of some HOWTOs
<br>on making a 'Hosted * Server' type setup.<br><br>Best Regards<br><br><br>Gavin Spurgeon<br>Assistant Systems Administrator<br>Leigh City Technology College<br><a href="mailto:gsp@leighctc.kent.sch.uk">gsp@leighctc.kent.sch.uk
