SPA-3000 Review/Guide: Affordable Home PBX

Posted by timothy on from the press-4-to-hear-the-monkeys-scream dept.

Kerbo writes "Seems every few days there is another news item about Asterisk PBX or Asterisk@Home, the open-source PBX system and associated installer package. You may have even been wondering what equipment you need to get started. The Geek Gazette has posted a review of the Sipura SPA-3000 ATA/Gateway with a complete setup guide on configuring it to work with Asterisk. This makes a very cost-effective way to get started by using your existing phone line as a trunk into the PBX."

    It consisted of two tin cans and a string, and it worked mighty fine!

    Sir,

    Hand over your geek card. We do things not because we have to, but because we can. ;)
