I was wondering two things: I am running Asterisk Current Stable. Is there a way in Asterisk or using other equipment or through the TelCO that I can make a channel bank such that say I have 3 Phone number either with the use of FXO Cards or by using 3 connections via IAX to a service that could then provide PSTN connectivity where when Line 1 is called the call is then switched and held on line 2 or 3 such that Line 1 phone number is always free to receive calls. Secondly, does anyone know if there is a PSTN server provider that I can connect to via IAX protocol so I don't have to use a FXO device (I think this will provide better QoS) and also that has no service fee. I just want to pay by the minute because it is going to be a FAX line only. However it needs to have a number such that it can do both incoming and outgoing calls. Please get back to me if anyone knows anything thanks! Matthew H. Franz matthew.franz@gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Asterisk-Users] PSTN IAX Connections / Line Banks
Ummm this would be the purpose of using hunting or circular hunting... The premise it sounds like is you want to always ensure there is a phone number people can call you on... so... 123-4567 123-5678 123-6789 roll in a circular hunt group... give customers the 123-4567 number and all calls will roll to an available line... thats how I got my h323 pstn lines configured w/ telco _____ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Matthew H.

Terminal hunt would provide a busy if all paths are in use, and is preferable, as the caller most probably will call back. Terminal hunt into voicemail is probably best. John Novack
