Hello, I wish to use asterisk in my home, the poor man's way.
Can asterisk be used in a home environment with plain analog modem ? I wish use the modem to listen the line, basically simulating the regular phone device. In the old days you could receive caller id on the signal that was sent by bezeq on the first ring tone... can I do the same with asterisk? Plus I'm a bit confused with all this FXO / FXS telephone hardware and would thank any one willing to clarify this for me in a line or 2. Why do I even need this FXO / FXS telephone equipment if I can simply plug the VoIP phone into the LAN socket and have it receive the voltage from the switch ? I did goolgled, and alos done my reading on voip-info.org, but still couldn't find a concise answer to my questions. Thank you for reading. -- Cheers, Maxim Vexler (hq4ever). Do u GNU ?
