Nice...so mixing and matching IP and POTS is ok and common then? <br>
<br>
I do care what the IP phones cost but then again I'm a gadget freak..if
it has a big enough "cool" factor I may be able to justify price. What
exactly does the Cisco phone get me over a Grandstream? I have an
NBX100 (3com voip) at work and while it has its nify features 3com
really dropped the ball on some of the features. Like 2K just to make
it a true IP phone and then it only works with NT and not a H.323
gateway..but thats a whole other thing that irks me.<br>
<br>
Can any of the IP phones play a wav file as a ring tone? What about
using an LDAP directory for dialing? I'd LOVE that and that may even
increase the "wife factor" too hehehe.<br>

Get the X100P and if you need 4 analog ports get the TDM400P..
I use an X100P and a S100U(2 analog phone cordless system) and then 4 IP phones..
Your choice of IP phones are..
"I don't care what it costs" - Go for Cisco..
"I do care what it costs but still want something stylish and feature packed" - Go for Snom200..
"Cost is very important cos the budget is tight but I still want a good usable phone" - Go for Grandstream 101 or 102..
I have 2 Snom200's and 2 GS 102's..
Hope that helps.. shout if you have more questions..
Just a note.. IIRC fax machines sometimes have some issues..
Later..

<pre wrap="">Hey all...I'm brand new to * and I want to convert my home into a pbx
type setup. I've figured out that I want a Wildcard X100P to bring my
single POTS CO into my Linux box. My problem is that I'm sure sure what
I need to do to get my analog phones connected up into a structured
phone system. It *looks* like I can go the route of the Cisco Analog ->
VOIP for about $100 on ebay. That will get me two analog devices on the
system. If I have four analog devices (2 normal phones, 1 fax and one 4
phone cordless system) is this the best setup? Do I need the TDM10B with
the Asterisk TDM Dev Kit or does that just let me do one analog phone
into the system? When converting from analog to VOIP do I get all the
same features that I would if I got a TDM400P (4 ports of analog devices)?
As I said I'm new and I would LOVE any pointers, HOWTOs or any good
advice from people who have already done something similar. This project
started out because I'm tired of the telemarketers calling and it looks
like this will be the best and most flexable way to get my phone system
wired up. I'm interested in any opinions on any real VOIP phones for a
house (assuming VOIP) is the way to go.
I envision that I could have a phone in every room, be able to do an
intercom, MOH so I can hear music in each room etc....ideas?
Thanks for the help and your patience,
Chris
