[TriLUG] Suggested Asterisk voip setup

[Hadrian Zbarcea]

Thanks John,

Actually I have 3 lines, one I use for the fax.  I could use all three  
trunks I guess, but the 3rd one to send incoming calls to the fax  
machine, but then I'd need a FXS port too.

I saw good reviews for trixbox.  It just moved to the top of my list :).

Thanks for the info!
