[Asterisk-Users] Minimum budget question ...

[Andy Powell]

Hi Tan,

Thanks for the reply. I'll end up asking a load more questions now...

What sort of prices are we talking about for the 24 port
VoIP gateway? 

I assume that each port is individually addresable by *?

As I recall the 24 port gateways tend to be terminated at the FXS side
as some 'wierd' connector (wierd in that it's not rj45/11) do you just
wire this to a patch panel?

What codec is in use to get all 24 ports 'running' at the same time..G729?
Does this cause problems since iirc * needs to run in console mode for
the G729 codec to work properly

Thanks for the info... interesting site too :D

Andy
