size=2>Asterisk can use SIP gateways which offer PSTN access. For example

<DIV><SPAN class=604224616-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Is
this correct? And if it is, than any incoming calls through that service, could
be redirected by astrisk to its users?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Santiago:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Just internally speaking for 20 users with very little room
for growth you could purchase a T100P (T1 card) from Digium. Place the T100P
it in the Asterisk server. Connect the T100P to a Zhone Z-Plex channel bank
(or any other supported channel bank). The channel bank will break the T1 out
in to 24 analog handset ports. Ports you could plug any analog phone in to.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Next you worry about how to connect Asterisk up to the PSTN,
using ISDN, PRI, or what ever is available in your area. It will necessitate
the purchase of another card, something Digium can provide, but there are
other options out there such as the ISDN cards supported under Linux. Actually
if you have good bandwidth without any telephony cards you could choose PSTN
access through any number of VoIP providers using SIP and IAX
protocols.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Hope this helps. Post a little more details and someone will
jump in and lend you a hand, or contact me off list and we can discuss
further. Good luck,</FONT></P>
