What is the best cost effective solution for a small office: I need 3 FXS & 2 FXO. Can I hookup a TDM400P and 2 X100P on the same computer? Also, I saw some IP phones for $25.99 http://www.wosmile.com/cgi-bin/view_store_item.cgi?pid=4424&sid=5&category=1 Can I use them with asterisk? will they be able to do the same as the TDM400P? I read that to run the conference app Meetme you needed a Zaptel driver. Thanks, Dante -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Also it seems odd that you have to use 2 AA batteries for the calculator when if it ran off of the phone line, there should be enough power there, and if it was ethernet based, you'd be supplying plenty of power. If they work as standard phones and you like the looks, they will work _with_ the TDM400, but not replace it. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
Dante, IP is this instance does *not* mean IP as in TCP/IP ... Here are some I think it could mean..

Thanks Andrew & John, What about the suggestion for the SOHO? 1) What is the best cost effective solution for a small office: I need 3 FXS & 2 FXO. 2) Can I hookup a TDM400P (3FXS) and 2 X100P (FXO) on the same computer?

I do not think their IP = the IP you want in a phone. I still have not found out what it means, but It surely doesn't look like what we need.

I believe the term IP in this case is something like 'initial prefix' or similar. I've seen these on eBay, and looked into them. From what (little) I could find, it appears that you can configure the phone to dial some pre-defined number when you pick it up, or before dialing the entered numbers. (like it can do '9' or '10-10-321' or whatever) It is simply not an H.323, MGCP, SCCP, SIP or anything IP phone. I would say look into the Grandstream phones. http://www.grandstream.com/> I read that to run the conference app Meetme you needed a Zaptel driver.You can use the ztdummy driver that uses your USB controller for timing. -Andrew
