Hello Brian,

First of all, thanks for replying.

I didn't realize until after I had sent the email that connecting the
phones to Asterisk isn't necessary: I could just put Asterisk in front
of the Toshiba.  This way calls would come into the Asterisk box, and
via the dial plan, be routed to either IP Phones or to the extensions on
the Toshiba.

I'm glad to hear that you were able to get the two working together.  A
few questions:

1) Why do you need the T100p when you have the analog extensions?  Are
calls coming into the Toshiba first, then sent via the T100p to
Asterisk?

2) Did you lose any of features on the Toshiba phones?

Well, I'm certainly willing to give it a try as long as the client is
willing to pay for the test run. :)  

Again, thanks for the info.

Regards,

Ranbir
