[Asterisk-Users] Avaya Partner ACS system, pre 7.0

[C F]

It realy depends what you are trying to accomplish, if all you want to
do is add more extensions that happen to be offnet using VoIP, then
you could just add analog extensions, and use FXO in * and then IP
phones in the remote offices.

We had to add Data and Voice for 20 users in a remote office (about 8
miles in the same town), we were using an Avaya Difinity G3. So we got
a leased data line (Full T1), using 2 Adit 600 (not even Asterisk
involved) boxes, configured with 24 FXS ports on one of the Adit
boxes, adn 24 FXO ports on the other, and a 24 port station card on
the Avaya Difinity, got us everything done. However this only allowed
us to use analog phones (yikes), since the Difinity doesn't support E
& M. But it is still running fine.
