My company is looking into voip (we do low volt wiring, and home
automation). I've setup an asterisk install in a vm (virtual machine)
on one of our computers, and would like to know what the group would
recomend for a card for the computer, and a handset (entry level as
this is a test bed)
Computer is on the network, and had broadband access.
Is there a FAQ for this group? Or something that would explain things
in a nutshell?
Thanks

Have you researched if additional computer hardware
is going to be available via a VM session? You may
check into that before investing too much more time.
Thanks,
Scott

I think there should be no problem with VMware as long as all hardware
interfaces via Ethernet/TCP/IP. Just don't plan on using USB devices or
PCI cards! You can easily hook up cheap chinese Ethernet phones like the
AT320 (make sure you set up fixed IP numbers or use a DHCP server). If
you need PSTN trunk access, there are many options for FXO gateways.

Ok. As I understand, the FXO would be the card in the computer?
Providing service between the outside and inside?
Yes I am a newb, but would like to have a working grasp of things
before deciding to throw team labor at this.
Lets say the Asterisk system is going to be sold to either a small
business, or home office solution. Other than the Asterisk box, what
is needed?
This is why I asked in the first message what was available for a
"dummies" guide or a faq. I know you folks have better things to do
than hold hands.
I am greatfull for your time and pointers of course.
Thanks

I would check out these sites:
www.nerdvittles.com
www.voxilla.com (check their forums, specifically the one for Asterisk)
www.trixbox.org (again, look at the forums)
