Folks,<br><br>I appreciate both sides of this one.<br><br>Yes, you should google everything prior to asking for help -- but you can get much better answers from people.<br><br>I wanted to install a doorphone and yes <a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+phone+door">
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+phone+door</a><span> has valid info if you try to search for <span style="font-weight: bold;">specifics </span></span><span>it doesn't help all that much. I had a heck of a time finding a vendor that sold the Viking products who actually had a valid description of the differences in models and accessories. Also didn't find anything really about the video.
<br><br>As far as paging goes:<br><br>The wiki has better information here, including some specific models of equipment: <a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+Paging+and+Intercom">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+Paging+and+Intercom
</a>. It seems to me that the best way to handle paging is with an FXS port (card, ata, etc..) connected to either a Bogen or a Viking paging system.<br><br>Hopefully that's the information that you were looking for.<br>
<br>What would help is if once you setup your paging system -- you post a detailed HOWTO. Tell exactly what equipment you used, if you found a good source/vendor, show examples of your *.conf files and tell of any limitations. Then if someone asks again point them to this.

<div>Ditto. I still have newsgroup posts of mine asking about setting up Wildcat 4.0 BBS with some very silly questions attached. Those were the days before we had PPP. But luckily I think my internet fee was only $3/hr for dialup :)
