[Asterisk-Users] Multiple X100P in Asterisk box?

[Joe Dennick]

You can use soft-phones, but I've never seen a PC with true
'full-duplex' audio, so a user's experience on a soft-phone isn't quite
as nice as it would be on a 'real' phone.  Our company has been using
Cisco 7940 and 7960 SIP phones with a lot of success.  The phones are
business class (they should be for $350 each), with all of the features
that you would expect in a business phone.  A quick google search
identified a couple of places where one could purchase 'refurbished' or
'used' SIP phones at reasonable prices to test out and see which one you
liked the best for your purposes.  Our company bought five different
phones (IPDialog, Polycom, SNOM, Cisco, and Bugetel) to test out before
deciding on which phone we liked the best.

I've currently got an Asterisk system supporting 20 Cisco 7960 phones
with an ISDN (US) T-1.  It works well and the users are very pleased
with the functionality since their previous system was an old Executone
Key system.

Hi,

	I am the "IT guy" at a small startup based in UK. At the moment
we have 3 analogue (PSTN) lines and we will be adding another 2 or 3
soon. Later on we should be changing to ISDN30.

	One of the partners mentioned getting an analogue PBX now, and
when we move to ISDN, then get a digital PBX. I though of Asterisk. I
have seen the website in the past and I know that it can do the job
(even better than a PBX).

	I need to know, is it possible to have multiple X100P (5 or 6)
cards in the same Asterisk box? What phones should I use in the office?
Any suggestions? Are soft phones reliable enough on Windows PC's for a
small call-centre/telesales department (5-6 stations)?

Thanks,
Yiannis.
