Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a telephone card that will fit into the PCI slot on my PC and work with the UK telephone system (BT) ? I would really like the retailer to be based in the UK if at all possible ? Also, is there any way to set up asterisk so that only certain phones can make external calls, but all phones can receive incoming calls if they are routed to that phones by some sort of auto attendant ? Thanks in advance, Paul. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20040409/6122df5a/attachment.htm

Phones can all be told to start from the same context or can start from different contexts, as you see fit. You can then include other contexts into the various "top-level" contexts you set up, as appropriate for your application. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.biz _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/

[Asterisk-Users] Re: Analogue telephone cards for the UK
Thanks for all the replies. Can someone tell me if it is possible to put two of these X100P cards into the same machine to order to gain access to two BT landlines ? Would it also be possible for someone to outline in a bit more detail the procdue for limiting which phones have access via the card as I am new to Asterisk. What happens when someone calls the number of the line the card is on - Do all phones ring or what happens ? Is that auto attendant thing a real possiblity. What I would idealy like is this... Welcome. If you know the extention you wish to call, press * now and then dial it. Otherwise, press 1 for Family A, 2 for Family B and 3 for Family C. If the user Presses 1, Press 1 for Person A, Press 2 for Person B. etc ? Is that possible ? Thanks, Paul. ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Tyreman To: Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 10:07 PM Subject: Analogue telephone cards for the UK Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a telephone card that will fit into the PCI slot on my PC and work with the UK telephone system (BT) ?

What I want to do is have the asterisk server sat in my house and used by my family to access the BT landline and to recieve calls made to that landline. If it is not possible to do the auto attendant thing then so be it, I will just have all phones in my house ring when a call is made on the BT line. That should be easy, right ? In addition to running the server just for my house, I want to have other memebers of my extended family link up to the server via their broadband connections so we can make free calls to each other over the internet connections. What I don't want is for other members of my family (who are not resident in my house) to be able to make calls on my BT landline, but I do want them to be able to make unlimited calls to other extentions on the asterisk server. Since I already pay monthly for broadband, I am not very keen to start paying more for an IDSN line which will only be used for this project. I don't use / need caller ID on external calls, so thats not an issue. Does that all make sence ? Thanks, Paul. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of WipeOut Posted At: 10 April 2004 11:16 Posted To: Asterisk-Users Conversation: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Analogue telephone cards for the UK Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Analogue telephone cards for the UK It sounds like you are trying to share the PBX between multiple people.. I would suggest getting an ISDN BRI line and an AVM Fritz card (using the chan_capi driver).. This will give you two lines onto which you can get 8 MSN's (an MSN is another number coming in on the same BRI).. You can setup Asterisk to route the calls to the correct phones or group of phones based on the number that was called.. If you are in the UK there are plenty of Fritz cards around and this method will also allow you to have CallerID if you want it where the analog cards have issues with CallerID.. Later.. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20040410/a214a9fe/attachment.htm

Sorry to sound stupid, but where can I get copied of the Asterisk manual ? What is the VoIP wiki and where can I get that too ?
