[Asterisk-Users] Announcement only Devices that work with Asterisk for Dedicated 24/7 Conferencing

[C F]

For starters, an old fashioned cassette player that holds the button
in with auto reverse will do, since when the power is out it will
still play it. Connect that to an ATA (radio shack sells a plug that
will connect to a phone line and take the input of a regular headphone
jack to the phone line). Take any ata and configure it as a hotline,
put the cassette player with a regulare analog phone on the port of
the ata, make sure the phone is off hook, so that the ata makes the
hot line call, and viola you are in asterisk. Of course other ways to
do it is: to use an external pager (bogan makes one), that allows
external MOH, and that uses a FXO port that you make sure asterisk
always keeps off hook.
