I'd second Dave. Trixbox / AAH is the way to go. It's a complete Linux + Asterisk + management tools package on a CD. Makes life a lot easier. What do you want to complicate life with VPC for?
Other points (from running an AAH installation for about a year now): - it (Asterisk) is rock solid IME - PSTN in, VOIP out, as you are contemplating, is a good strategy - Sign up with a good VOIP provider, don't go for the cheapest (we use Gradwell) - Only slight problem you _will_ encounter is call quality degradation at semi-random times. It's liveable with but noticeable. - As with everything in life <g> it's not _quite_ as cheap as you think - We went for digium cards. Not the cheapest but there are plenty of stories of cheaper cards that caused problems / were faulty. - you need a good router that allows for QoS Tristan Leask wrote: > Thanks all > > Hmm, I didn't know about TrixBox.
