<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The configuration I'm building replaces an existing PBX with Asterisk. There are 8 existing modems that people use to call in from the outside to connect to PC(s) on the inside to transfer data, etc. Callers access these modems by calling the main number and then dialing an extension for the modem they want to talk to.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What are my options for supporting these modems with Asterisk? Here are two ideas and some pro's and con's:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. Use 4 Sipuras (approx. $400). Only problem is, I can't get this to work! Sipura says use the G711 codec but it's not working for me. Anybody have this working?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. Use 8 FXS ports (approx. $700). Haven't tried this yet but it is more expensive.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Other suggestions? Advice?</FONT>
