All, when it comes to VOIP, I was born yesterday (but I staid up all night). <br><br>I was about to buy a Digium TDM404E with 4 FXO (Red) Modules and eight Aastra 6755i phones when it occurred to me I probably should ask the FreeSWITCH community if what I'm about to do is sane :] <br>
<br>8 endpoints (planned to be aastra 6755i)<br>6 people using phones (four concurrent PSTN lines busy at peak usage)<br>(55 to 60 long distance calls at a current cost of $55 to $70/mo)<br><br>I hope to create a VOIP hybrid (at first) where just the long distance calls are done via SIP.<br>
Later, I would disconnect PSTN2 and PSTN3 and use the SIP DID as the roll over group/hunt group once I have the system stabilized.<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Inbound Calls<br>
