VoiP PBX Type Question...
Say you have an office with one incoming PSTN line split to multiple
analogue phones ( incoming call rings all the phones )... You then install a VOIP router with FXO connection ( Sipura 3000 for example ) to pipe the incoming PSTN calls onto your LAN... What options are there for setting up a VOIP PBX so that the incoming call can be patched through to a single phone and / or transferred to another phone? Have looked at Asterisk - but I don't have the time to get my head around Linux. The Brekeke virtual PBX looks more promising to me ( runs on Windows ). Other than that haven't found anything that looks like it will do the job. Anyone got any suggestions? Are there any low cost hardware VOIP PBXs around? Thanks in advance! Rich Richard Moore |

Remember Software/ PC based PBXs hardware is cheaper but implementaion costs can be higher. Are you looking to use IP phones ? if so you wll need to Budget in £70 - £200 based on quality. As to hardware PBXs there are loads SWYX springs to mind, Or just get an * box built and supported for you. Ian Ian"at"cyber-cottage.co.uk |

Thanks for the info on SWYX, but looks a bit overkill for a single incoming PSTN line. I don't really have an idea of budget as I don't know what hardware / software is available ( hence the post ) - but in a similar bracket as the Sipura box would be good - though not essential. |
