[Asterisk-Users] Anybody tried it from India ?.

[Mark Elkins]

I can not see that its illegal to have Asterisk in India. The TDM400P
card should work fine - but it may not be approved to be interconnected
to the phone system. (This never stopped me doing similar things).

I'm assuming that its possible to connect a 2-wire phone to the Indian
phone system - ie - if you have ever bought a 2-wire phone from the USA
and got it to work - then there should be no problem. In the UK - BT use
a 3-wire system, the extra wire for ringing a bell... but actually
provide 2-wire to the house. People seem to have little difficulty with
the TDM400 there. I've had no problems all over Africa - you should be
fine.

Asterisk makes a great (cost wise) and highly functional PABX
replacement. This in itself is reason to install Asterisk.

The fact that it does VoIP as well is an additional bonus - just don't
get caught using it?

Up until the beginning of this year, VoIP was illegal in South Africa -
never stopped most people. It is possible for telco's to monitor and
even recognise and record 'voice' on the internet - but they usually
look for common Codecs (u-law, a-law) and probably have better things to
do.
