Lynn,<br><br>What you need is an ATA (analog telephone adapter). The ATA is a SIP or IAX extension on your Asterisk box, and your standard phone plugs into it. Asterisk sends the call to the SIP extension (the ATA), and the ATA rings your phone. On the flip side, your phone dials normally and the ATA digitizes the data and sends it via SIP to Asterisk for routing. Check out Digium's IAXy or the GrandStream Budgetone/HandyTone.

Hello,<br><br>I am a small business owner in need for a solution<br>that automatically answers an incoming call, prompts<br>the caller via touch-tone menu ("press 1 to leave a<br>message, press 0 to speak to a representative") and
<br>will ring my (real) phone ONLY if requested by caller.<br><br>I know that Asterisk is capable of all the logic<br>behind what I described above. However, I couldn't<br>find a hardware product that will allow me to
<br>accomplish the above (preferrable using Asterisk<br>software). Does such thing exists?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Lynn<br><br><br><br>____________________________________________________________________________________<br>Sick sense of humor? Visit Yahoo! TV's
