My linux box speaks pppoe to external DSL modem. Nortel NTEX35 BAAB. It's up 24/7 and provides web service...etc. Has 6 nics, one of them is fiber. Asterisk is on the same box. Don't have any IP phones yet. The asterisk default is to listen on all 6 enet interfaces? (this is what I'd want). Etherape is showing me a healthy dose of subnet broadcast on each nic...which I assume is asterisk doing discovery, or it's announcing itself? asteriskdocs.org says this:> We now having a working example of a zapata.conf with > an FXS channel (1) and an FXO channel (4) that we can use. > Channel 4 can be connected to an analog circuit such as might be > provided by your phone company. > You can plug an analog telephone directly into Channel 1.The digium board will be in the same box. Does this mean: Channel 4 to incoming phone line. Channel 1 to DSL modem? Or DSL modem to the incoming line...and then the pass thru port on the DSL modem goes to Channel 4? Will this even work? I'd hate to have to switch to a cable modem. TIA

In our case a proper filter was supplied by the phone company when we installed the ADSL line. We Happily use Asterisk with an FXO card and an ADSL connection from the same phone line. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir@jbr.cohens.org.il | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend

Glad I got it now, even though everything seems to work without it. Thx again for the info.
