asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Asterisk and VoDSL

Hi, I'm new to telephony Software and Hardware, so please excuse my
questioning.

I plan to set up a little system, using Asterisk and VoDSL via Belcacom
or Scarlet here in belgium.
We are yust a little 2 man company and we are not always in our office.

My idea is, to get VoDSL and set up a system that works as following:

A customer sends SMS or phones to our office-numbers, if we are out,
Asterisk checks the CallerID or if hidden, sends back an sms or says,
that the customer should send or type in his client-number.
Then Asterisk send an sms to the one, who is working on that customer,
so that we can make call-backs if nesessary. 
Connecting Nagios to the same system, could also send sms, if something
on our servers goes wrong.
I also want the system to be able, that of course more than one caller
can be handled at the same time.

I know that Asterisk can handel this, but does "sms via fixed line" by
Adrian Kennard work, using VoDSL??
And what other hardware do I need (except for the server with digium
cards) to get this idea running??

As externals I'm planning to use 1 analog phone and maybe 2 headstets
for each of us if we are in office.

thx, Sascha

You are on the right track to get this working...
Use provider who can offer you SMS service for more then one user
You will need a custom AGI to inform "account manager" and other
functions
required.

As for sending, SMS messages accross * server, I think SMS application does
that.

AFAIK, one can just send SMS via smsbug.com, but I want to be able to
receive sms, without using an external sms-gateway wich should work with
the sms-applikation if sms-ing is supported by VoDSL.

Greetings, Sascha
