You want the Sipura SPA-3000 ($100) http://www.voipsupply.com/product_info.php?products_id=203 With this device and Asterisk you can convert your whole house to VoIP, without needing SIP phones or analog adapters for each device. Phone line coming into the house --> SPA-3000 (FXO port) --> SPA-3000 (Ethernet port) --> Asterisk Server --> SPA-3000 (Ethernet port) --> SPA-3000 (FXS Port) --> Phones. Download (513MB) and watch this video, everything will then make sense: http://downloads.revision3.com/torrents/systm/0005/systm--0005--asterisk--large.xvid.avi.torrent Go here too: http://revision3.com/systm/asterisk/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
