[Asterisk-Users] PBX <-> AST <-> AST <-> PBX

[Ezequiel Golub]

The complete diagram should be:

[Analog Phone]
        |
        |    Std 2 wire phone cable
        |
[Legacy PBX]
        |
        |    Std 2 wire phone cable
        |
[* PBX]
        |
        |    Internet (AIX protocol?)
        |
[* PBX]
        |
        |    Std 2 wire phone cable
        |
[Legacy PBX]
        |
        |    Std 2 wire phone cable
        |
[Analog Phone]

Basically what i want is to disturb as little as i can the existing client
infrastructure, by letting them keep their legacy PBX and just adding a new
box besides it.

What im not so sure about is what hardware i need for the * PBX, FXO or FXS
? after reading some more i assume that i need FXO, but id like someone who
knows more than me to confirm it. Once i get that info i will see about
ordering some cards and testing it out.

Thanks a lot people! im eager to try this out!

Eze.
