[Asterisk-Users] Very small office install

[Krunoslav Njers]

A few months ago I discovered *. Recently have taken more interest 
in it, since I have to install phones into my wife's small office. 
Hope that my questions weren't discussed recently and are not to 
dumb.

The current requirements for * consist of a single incoming ISDN 
BRI line (currently have 5 MSN allocated), 3 internal extensions 
and a single analog fax.

1. I plan to buy some el cheapo (relatively, since VoIP phones are 
still quite expensive here) "Planet" VoIP phones for internal 
extension: http://www.planet.com.tw/product/product_dm.php?
product_id=192&menu_id=3 
Anybody have experience with those and *?

2. Any good device geared toward SOHO application that plugs into 
ethernet, gives two PSTN ports (one for fax, second for future 
needs) and works with *? Do the Planet VoIP Gateways seem 
reasonable? I also found some Cisco gear but I am not sure if that 
does what I want.

3. Best ISDN card (EuroISDN) that could pass CallerID to the VoIP 
phones and works with * (Dialplan based on ISDN MSN)? Those Fritz 
cards that are referenced on http://www.junghanns.net/asterisk/?


I wouldn't like to blame * later for my stupidity in choosing 
wrong hardware. I will have time to experiment later but need to 
buy HW ASAP. 
Just pointers to some web sites would be enough, for me to 
research those questions further. Information on hardware 
compatibility for * seems scarce...

Thanks,
Kruno
