VoIP internal solution from T1 to desktop

[proudusa]

I am looking at implementing VoIP internally with software running on the desktops. Don't want to spend money on IP phones and prefer not using your standard gateway.

A T1 from the phone company would be coming in with 23 voice lines. The analog call would be translated into a digital signal. The calls would be forwarded to whatever IP address was associated with the particular extension dialed on the other end. If the person is at their desk the software on the desktop notifies them of the call. If the person does not answer it would be forwarded to a voice mail attendant running on another machine (or same if possible).

Just starting to do research this and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with something like this. Not sure if there is an all in one solution out there right now.

Thanks

sphericall would offer that functionality...

However, it does require slightly more in the way of servers (minimum of 2)

Take Care

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

try asterisk.org, use a free softphone like XTEN.

software is all free, just a server and a T1 card.

soon, I'll need a job.

Thanks guys for the replies. Checked out Asterisk and it looks like it might just work. Have you worked with that solution before?

Thanks
