I am both "IT geek" (I prefer IT nerd) and "switch hack" here. My supervisor wants to do the VOIP thing and fortunately he hasn't put it in my budget. I am quite happy with my out of date Option 11 with no VOIP capabilities. Keep my network free of my telephones!

My company is allowing me some research time with Asterix. Initially I will have a hacked Vonage router and 2 Nortel IP phones. What distro would be recommended for getting my "feet wet" so to speak. Some info about us to give an idea what direction we are going. We are a small private...

If you put the same MCR key twice, you get a busy (or busy treatment) if the second call comes in while the first call is ringing. You do get the ability for one call taker to answer another ringing call while on or after finishing a call on the other MCR. You can use a ring group (is that...

I have good news, I don't have host the technical part of conference call! (denomination HQ does that for us). Thank you all and sorry to waste anyone's time on my now non-existent problem.

The book is telling me to go into LD 15 and add new NIT data, will this affect my current NIT data?

Ok great minds I need your help. I have been tasked with setting up our Polycom Sound Station (an analog conference room phone thing) so that our Board of Directors can telecommute to their board meeting in two weeks. They want to assign it a DID so when a Director calls they would be...

Thanks for the info! Sorry I am in NY not WI

@Donb01 what is the appliance? We would like to have better locations on 911 calls but setting up PS/ALI with a vendor will increase our monthly phone bill by 60%ish. Thanks

Is there a solution that will take an analog line from our PBX and send it out over the internet and convert it back to analog? We have a telecommuter and a small satellite campus that we would like to have easier access to. Our PBX is not a VOIP system. Cost is a consideration and we...
