I think I have 3 PSTN lines because I can connect a normal telephone to them all and make calls between each of them. <br>We have 5 normal telephones and 1 panasonic. <br><br>From what I got I need a PC and a of PCI card to interface to my 3 external lines and my 6 internal lines. <br>
<br>For the PC I was planning to use the smallest PC posible like a HP Proliant Microserver but it doesn´t have space for this PCI card. <br>Is there another way to interface to 3 external and 6 internal lines??<br><br>Thank you for your kind help. <br>

Asterisk is open source and you can install in a normal PC itself and you can avail all the features that proprietary system has.<div><br></div><div>If you want to integrate with any VoIP service then a PC with Asterisk is enough or else if you want to integrate with PSTN lines then you need FXO card to be installed, its a PCI card. Vendors like Sangoma, Digium (from Asterisk) were selling these cards. And for internal for your agents if you need analog hard phones then you need to have FXS card you can avail these FXO and FXS cards in combination. These cards will fit in your PCI slot of machine. Configuring these cards are also very easy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If it is VoIP then you dont need these cards simply install Asterisk in a PC and you are done. </div><div><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 5:38 PM, Terry Brummell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:terry@brummell.net" target="_blank">terry@brummell.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Hi, My name is Francisco from México. <br><br>Here, in my work we have a very very old panasonic PBX(12 years old). We are growing and we need to increase our external lines(from 3 to 4) and our internal lines(from 6 to 10). Besides we need voice mail and voice menu too. <br>
<br>We asked for a quote to our panasonic dealer. The whole thing cost about 4,500 dollars. <br><br>My boss just saw a thing called Asterisk this morning looking for options in Google. He asked my to investigate what this thing called Asterisk is and if we could save some money using it instead of the panasonic solution. So, here I am. <br>
<br>I have some experience as linux sysadmin(we have 1 oracle linux server and 1 linux print server) nevertheless I don´t have any idea where and how to start this evaluation?<br><br><br>Please<br>Would you give us a clue where to see If Asterisk could work for us?<br>
<br>Thanks for your kind help. </p></div></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br>--<br>_____________________________________________________________________<br>-- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by <a href="http://www.api-digital.com" target="_blank">http://www.api-digital.com</a> --<br>
