Keyword for searches here is X100P or X101P. This is basically a soft modem of a specific type. This is just the FXO card: you can use it to connect your PBX to Bezeq, not to an office phone. The cheapest of that kind cost less than 10$: they're simply soft modems. Natuarally you can't expect support for such a price. The quality is not as good. But it's good enough to get you started. OTOH, a simple initial setup could use VoIP internally (sip/iax). You basically don't need any VoIP hardware, as you can use soft-phones (software-only implementation of VoIP client). If you do that, though, be sure to use decent headphones and microphone, as those make a huge difference in the quality of sound. A hardware phone has some obvious atvantages in terms of availability: You don't normally consider expect workstation as available as your phone. And don't want to miss a call just because you've just logged out. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
