Hi, Sam. I live in Rio de Janeiro (Brasil) and have read your blog. I found lots of good information and hints about Asterisk usage and configuration. But there’s a doubt of mine that I could not see: is it possible to use an IP phone outside one’s LAN, connected to Asterisk PBX inside this LAN? This question is due to my family being split between Brasil and London. I would like to set up an Asterisk PBX at home, but having an extension at my sister’s home at London. So, I would be able to call her anytime, and the reverse, as an internal connection using VoIP over the Internet. Is such procedure possible?

Thanks for your kind attention.

I’d like to use trixbox for VOIP of course but also for DTMF recognition. Does trixbox can inform an other program that a DTMF code is received and transmit the value?.
Of course I can do that by hard, but it’s more esthetic to use soft.
Thanks

What kind of digital card can you plug into Asterisk to get a Numeris (RNIS or ISDN) dual channels line?

Thanks!

Hi Samuel,

I’m living in north of France. I bought few weeks ago two gigitnetworks X100p cards. I put them on a PC with AAH 2.8.

I just asking you if with your card you collect callers number

I try with AAH 2.8; Mandriva 2006 + asterisk 1.2.7 or Trixbox 1.0

I answer the line but I never get the caller’s number.

If I put an analogic phone on this line I get the caller’s number on it.

My question is simple :

Do you collect the caller’s number on your PSTN interface with FT ?

If yes, can you tell me if you had a problem to collect it and how do you solved it ?

What are your version of asterisk and Co ?

Thank you for the time you spend (or waste) to answer me.

Sincerely

Please excuse my english, I’m a french who speak only two languages : The french and the Ch’ti

This does not answer my question. Mainly because that analog line is widely used and published on the telephone directory.

Thank you very much Samuel for your swift answer.
I need some advices:
- Can Asterisk be run on Windows (as seen in voip-forum.org although not mentioned on the Asterisk.org website) ?
- If Linux preferable (yes ? No ?), which Linux distribution should be used ? Redhat ? or just Asterisk@Home which includes CentOs?
- I understand if I just want to do VoIp, I don’t need an interface telephone card ? Right ?

Thank you very much

redouane : why use an analog line at all when you can avoid it?
