[asterisk-users] Newbie´s question about Asterisk...

[Gopalakrishnan A.N]

Asterisk is open source and you can install in a normal PC itself and you
can avail all the features that proprietary system has.

If you want to integrate with any VoIP service then a PC with Asterisk is
enough or else if you want to integrate with PSTN lines then you need FXO
card to be installed, its a PCI card. Vendors like Sangoma, Digium (from
Asterisk) were selling these cards. And for internal for your agents if you
need analog hard phones then you need to have FXS card you can avail these
FXO and FXS cards in combination. These cards will fit in your PCI slot of
machine. Configuring these cards are also very easy.

If it is VoIP then you dont need these cards simply install Asterisk in a PC
and you are done.
