[Asterisk-Users] Basic Asterisk capabilities question

[Gary Franczyk]

Whaaa?? So, to allow 24+ lines of dial in access, how would I configure it?

Would I need to purchase or lease a voice-over-ip box to connect our T1 or
phone lines into?  And then from there send the VOIP to the linux/Asterisk
box for recording?

(forgive me, Im new to telephony, but I need to make this work) :-)

Ive started looking for some good AGI examples...  It looks promising.

Thanks

Gary F.

Yes, but the TE410P is not required.  Only if you want T1
connections.  You could just use a regular linux box and
VoIP, for example.

This system is possible with Asterisk, using the Asterisk
Gateway Interface (AGI).  You could code it in your favorite
language, too.

It's not a turnkey system as downloaded from CVS.
