asterisk users - Nov 2003 - Using Asterisk as a VOIP gateway

Is it possible to use * as a VOIP gateway?

 

Can I connect asterisk to one of the trunks on my current PBX and on the
other side of the world connect another * to the trunk of another
regular PBX - is it possible to transfer calls from here to there?

 

I guess I'll need one port FXO card for each asterisk, but I can't
figure how to configure the thing.

 

I know I'll need to configure the regular PBX to forward certain calls
to the lines connected to asterisk (by prefix, or just have everyone
dial 8 and get a line)

 

Does this scenario make sense to anyone? Or am I barking up the wrong
tree?

yes you can but may not be all that economical though.
on the other hand, if you can replace or do away with
at least one of the pbx with * at either end,
i think you'll be ahead of the game :-)
