<pre wrap="">Hi
Which is the best interface card to connect* PSTN* line with
Asterisk. Can somebody please help. My intention is to route the
incoming PSTN calls to internal IP Phones through Asterisk and Vice
versa. The Asterisk is in LAN and is reachable from all the IP phones
in the LAN.
Thanks

<pre wrap="">That's a wide open question. How many lines? What kind of lines?
What country are you in? What options are availible to you?
I only have three incoming lines for a soho Asterisk install. I
decided on a T1 card and picked up a used channel bank on ebay. Not
the cheapest way, but it has served me very well.
You are not going to get much help unless you define the problem better.

HI,
OK, I'm going to chime in on this one as I am going to set up an
Asterisk system for our volunteer ambulance service. As a part of the
Emergency Services we need to maintain a POTS line as redundancy and due
to the fact that with an old style phone I don't need power for the
phone to work. I plan on using a SIP provider for the rest of our phone
needs. If not for the emergency services part I would go completely SIP
based.
Anyway I would need a FXO/FXS card for use in the US. Only one line so
I don't need any of the fancy 4 line systems. I have heard you can use
certain modems to do this but I would like what I am doing to be
seamless and not require hacking at a problem for hours to save $50. I
just want it to work quick and easy. I am unsure what you mean by "What
kind of lines?" and "What options are availible to you?". Maybe that is
part of asking this question, to get some info about the phone system too.
Any help would be grand.
Thanks
Brent

You have defined what you are going to do, basically a small system and
only need one POTS line. You could also use an ATA to convert a POTS
to SIP to go into the Asterisk box. That would probably be a more
supportable solution as those devices don't appear to be disappearing
off the market like that modem solution is. Then if in a couple of
years, lightening takes out the converter, you have a purchasable
solution.<br>
<br>
You can also do this with Digium cards.<br>
