[Asterisk-Users] Can I use Asterisk for a modified Hoot and Holler?

[BJ Weschke]

 What is it you're trying to accomplish? 

 Squawk Box---------->fxo----------->*---------->IAX2/SIP clients?

 or
 
 replace the 2 wire solution between the different locations with IAX2/SIP?

 The only thing I'd caution you about hear is as you're going back and
forth between 2 wire and IAX2/SIP along with conferencing/meetme in a
hoot/holler application be real careful that you've worked all the
kinks out with echo cancelation. Some echo thrown back into
conference, as you probably already know, could get real ugly real
quick.
