[Asterisk-Users] Noob question on connection

[Alistair Cunningham]

Andy,

There's no such thing as a noob question. Everyone has to start somewhere.

FXS can only handle one call at once. You can get a second FXS phone, 
use a protocol like BRI that can handle more than one call at once, or 
use call waiting.

Two Asterisk servers can be connected over ethernet using a VoIP 
protocol such as SIP or IAX, or using Asterisk's special TDMoE system. 
Both of these options can handle many calls at once.

If you'd like commercial assistance planning and installing such a 
system, please let me know. My company, Integrics Ltd, works extensively 
with Asterisk.
