Hi Rob Not sure if you're looking for this, but the folks at
www.locustworld.com are MESH networking specialists and have recently started to ship Asterisk as standard - they also operate their own PSTN Gateway. No idea on costs etc, but it's all Open Source stuff from what I can see. They're also open to "silly" techy queries like is it possible to set the number of simultaneous log ons to 2 whilst a mobile source moves from one AP to another. Not sure about the hardware side though - ie PRI / BRI cards if you want direct PSTN access on site. BTW from a professional viewpoint I would always strongly recommend haveing at least one analogue PSTN connection to the PBX for use with 999 calls as it enables the blue light services to identify the actual location where you are as opposed to what the person mumbles over the phone which depending the nature of the emergency could be totally duff.

DTFM can be tricky but once you get it setup it works fine. If you have any troubles, please feel free to get in touch off list and I'll send you some example configuration etc...
