| I have used PBXInaFlash
Its a great system - especially if you want to set something up remote - over the web for multiple remote offices.
We have people in TX, OH, NJ, PA, MO, and GA using this - its great to direct dial to each other...
Ours runs on a Semperon 2800 with 1GB ram - Wonderful.
We put Trixbox some time ago to bed--- i can tell you offline about that experience... in short - when the system started phoning home and giving root access - we k-lined our install quickly.
PBX In a Flash is nice -
We use Linksys SPA962 phones as well as the Polycom 501 and 601 phones... I like the polycom better personally.

Your phone extensions can all be softphones such as X-Lite running on almost anything. A microphone is required to use the softphone I suppose. At my office I set up a server with some FXO and FXS cards to interface with POTS lines and use some nice Linksys phones as the three extensions for three people. I use AsteriskNOW after experimenting with a few others over the years, it works quite well and is easy to set up. If you like messing at the interface of phones and computers (I do) then Asterisk is a dream come true. My next plan is to set up interoffice communication across the Internet which is supposedly easy enough though I have not done it yet (jinxed myself too I expect). Oh, I'd recommend an O'Reilly book "The Future of Telephony" as a good primer. -Andrew On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 11:01 PM, Casey Bralla <MailList@nerdworld.org> wrote: Pardon my ignorance, but what type of hardware (phones, I/O cards, etc) do you
