I have a tdm400p that has modules to support analog 3 phones and 1 POTS line. It cost around $400 (with the modules). It is analog. If you get a voice T1 you can get digital hardware that is better for talking to the phone company. There are other companies that make inexpensive (relative to what such hardware used to cost) telephony hardware, but I haven't seen any that have drivers upstreamed. In the past you used to be able to support a POTS connection with a much cheaper modem card (around $10). They didn't work as well. Digium stopped making them and I am not sure if Dahdi supports those devices any more. Currently I rebuild Dahdi everytime I update my kernel. Sometimes there are kernel changes that break the driver and you need to wait for a fix in Digium's tree. It worked all through the 2.6.33 development though. If you have a box dedicated to telephony, then that shouldn't be a problem as you can synchronize your updates with ATRPMs. > > Does SIPWitch handle voicemail ?

I briefly looked at descriptions of it and it seems more limited than Asterisk or Callweaver. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
