[Asterisk-Users] At home Asterisk via Broadvoice?

[Luki]

My thoughts:

1) I would not run asterisk on a laptop, or on Windows (if you can get
it to turn properly via emulation like Vmware).

2) A 586 *might* be enough to handle this low call volume with no transcoding.

3) I know nothing about a Azatel 2 port adapter, but you could acquire
a Sipura 2000 (or similar) which can generate distinctive ring
patterns (I am not sure the Grandstream adapters can). Besides an ATA
you would not need other hardware in the asterisk box.

4) Be sure to check up the recent postings about Broadvoice. They
provided good service to me in the last year, but the last three days
were terrible.

5) Broadvoice does send the ALERT_INFO header for distinctive ring and
you can get asterisk to check this and handle the call differently. I
think they allow two additional numbers besides your primary number,
so technically three numbers per "line."

Good luck...
