[Novalug] Re: [Ma-linux] Questions about open source PBX applications (such as FreePBX)

[Stephen Chapman]

(1)You will need a Computer to load TrixBox or FreePBX onto  something 
that has maybe 512k mem and is at least an Athalon 1.8ghz for good 
results.   Probably a monitor and keyboard temporarily as you can remote 
manage it after install.  

(2)Then you will need a device like the PAP2-NA  which basically will 
connect to the asterisk machine and become an extension... Then you can 
tie all your phones in the house to this box....  its about 69 - 99 
dollars depending on where you look.   a good place to buy is 
telephonydepot.com

(3)Then you will need a cheap SIP phone provider.... there is one that 
is a prepay that i think is the best..  Vitelity.net  You set an account 
up and put some money in there not sure of the miniumum maybe 30 or 50 
bucks... but all that will stay in your account.... a did will run about 
1.49 a month  and minutes will be about 1 penny a minute.    you will 
then tie asterisk to that service.  that will give you a phone number as 
well you can port the phone number you currently have to vitelity and 
get a temp number until the port is complete. 

if you need to know more a good site to visit is voip-info.org
