[asterisk-users] small homebrew pbx

[Tim Groeneveld]

Hey Lucio,

You will need a FXS port. I would recommend setting up something like Cisco SPA3102.

The SPA3102 can be found cheap on Ebay, and will be easy to setup in Asterisk.

Once the FXS is set up, it's just a matter of adding a ring group/pickup group:
