I am looking for a good analog desktop phone to use with asterisk and my sipura ATAs. I know I want Caller ID, MWI, a few programmable buttons (for asterisk features), and no external power supply (so my users can dial 911 through the SPA-3000 when the power is out). I spent some time looking at the phones at Fry's today, without finding exactly what I need. Do any of you have any

When I set up my Asterisk box at home I didn't want to have to dial 9 to dial off premises, so I gave all my local phones three digit extensions with this format: 1[1,0]*. My thought is that there are no area codes that start with 0 or 1, so if I use those numbers, I can create 20 local extensions that can be dialed with 3 digits, and not have to use a timeout when dialing long distance.

I work for a telecom company that allows me to peer my Asterisk box to their system for free. Pretty neat. I have everything working except that I can't get inbound VoIP calls using the DID number that my company assigned for me.

In reality, pressing anything other than 1 sends the call to the rest of us by dialing both extensions 101

I would love to run Asterisk on an old laptop, in a mostly solid state configuration, with no HD. The laptop is slow (Pentium 233), and I need PCMCIA support (for my network card). Are any of you aware of a live CD that might work? Thanks, Dave

I have an old broken laptop that I am attempting to turn into a mostly solid state Asterisk box, mainly because I am worried about the fans or hard drive in my other Asterisk box failing (I already lost one power supply). The laptop has no screen or hard drive. But it does have USB and a bootable CD-ROM drive. It is a Pentium 233, with 64 MB of RAM. I have a PCMCIA ethernet card in it. I

Hello all: For fun, I am learning about Asterisk, and trying to get Asterisk working at my house. I installed Asterisk@Home. It seems to be functioning fine. I installed a couple of softphones, and have them registered with Asterisk. I actually work for a CLEC, and I have registered my Asterisk box with SER (which I don't begin to understand yet) at the office. In order to try to
