  1. Re:cheap, turnkey asterisk systems? by Dare+nMc · · Score: 2, Informative · on Asterisk Open Source PBX 1.0 Release

    and
    http://voipstore.atacomm.com/shops/Search.aspx/279 34028032.htm?search=asterisk
    also some much worse deals on ebay.

  2. Re:ETA by brc007 · · Score: 4, Informative · on Appropriate Music for Callers 'On Hold'?
    I assume by "ETA" you mean the estimated time until their call will be answered. That is nice, but most phone systems do not support that. The ones that do usually require an additional license to enable that module.

    If you haven't heard of it check out the Asterisk PBX. It's GPL licensed and comes with ETA announcements built in :).
    It supports VoIP (SIP protocol among others) and Analog phones, T1's, etc.

    Check out the 2 port SIPura ATA to interface with 2 FXS ports which allow you to interface with normal Analog phones, or the
    SIPura 3000 with two FXS ports and one FXO port which allows you to interface with a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line from the telco.

    Stop by and say hello in #asterisk on the irc.freenode.org IRC network (Sorry you've gotta register your nick with nickserv to get in...we've had huge problems with spambots :\) /nickserv help register

    /nickserv register mypassword

    /nickserv identify mypassword

    /join #asterisk


    Hopefully these spambots will go away eventually.

  4. Re:Roll Your Own? by gozar · · Score: 1 · on Suggestions for a Home VOIP Provider?
    It seems like the best way to do it (and cheapest) would be to call from your computer over the internet to a computer in the city you wanted to call to, which would then hook up to the regular phone line via a modem. I was looking for something like this, but haven't found anything on freshmeat, etc. (Any links out there?)

    Look at Asterisk for the server side of things and at least one IP phone (the Grandstream BudgeTone series are around 70-80). Put a X100P FX0 to give the Asterisk server access to an outside line.
