8 StuartYeates 26 LindsayDruett would just love to try with the [Cisco] [IP] Phones, [VoIP] Gateways, etc with this software, basically use it as an alternative to the CiscoCallManager using the Cisco Products but without the baggage like product distribution curfews, etc. Also product licensing costs would be substantially cheaper as you can then purchase IP Phones without the CiscoCallManager user licence.

13 LindsayDruett 28 LindsayDruett is looking into this further, if you're keen to use Cisco's IP Phones, Gateway's, etc then email Lindsay [mailto:lindsay@wired.net.nz]

8 StuartYeates 31 Note that if your Asterisk machine is connected to a PABX, that's fine (assuming your [PABX] has a telepermit), but if you're connecting directly to your phoneline, you need to make sure your FXO/FXS device is telepermitted. To the best of my knowledge, not many of the devices are. If anyone knows, list the legal ones here....
