[Asterisk-Users] Hardware recommendations

[Dane Reugger]

We would like to test Asterisk in our small office - 5 users. We are a
small computer shop in New Orleans and would like to offer VoIP and
Asterisk to our clients but we are very new to VoIP and Asterisk. We
feel the best way to learn is to jump in.

We've signed up w/ Teliax and setup a D-link phone that works OK - but
our goal  is an Asterisk PBX. We would like to avoid as many costly
mistakes as possible. We plan on keeping 2 analog lines for emergencies,
VoIP down, 911, credit card machine, and Fax machine as we understand
Fax and CC machines are very unreliable w/ VoIP but plan on integrating
them in to the Asterisk with an FXO card

We are looking for recommendations for  VoIP phones and a 1 or 2 Line
FXO(?) card. I suspect the first is kinda vague and the latter is a
Digium card. Just looking for solutions, brands, and even vendors that
are known to work well.

Phone needs 4 lines, Hold, VM, Caller ID

Any advice appreciated

Thanks,

Dane
