[Asterisk-Users] UK install

[Tim Guy]

Well I'm slowly learning my way around asterisk although as yet I
haven't had the chance to actually hook the system up to an ISDN line.

I am going to migrate from an Argent Office setup. My only problem is
keeping costs down on the phones.

The Argent system is running about 30 POTS phones. Can someone suggest
the cheapest option? Should I get some kind of large scale FXS box or
would the cost of doing that on a large scale work out the same as
getting cheap SIP phones?

I have a large number of POTS phones with headsets so I would have to
take that into account if I replaced the phones with SIP's

In an ideal world Id like to convert a number of POTS to soft phones but
as always its persuading the users that they can operate in the same
way.

Our Telco is NTL offering us an ISDN 30 style package. I assume this is
a E100P card requirement? Any suggestions for good UK reseller or shall
I get it direct from Digium?

Anyhow, as I say I'm getting more functionality out of Asterisk than I
ever did with (personally thinking) a very confusing Argent setup. I
just hope that I can make it financially viable to do the install

Cheers

Tim
