G+_Erinç F?rt?na Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I have a show idea about seting up pbx at home and using ip phone with that. I found a linux software called Asterisk and also some linux based OS that using Asterisk called Elastix and AsteriskNow. Also there is small pbx devices with 1 line support for home. I think most of us will want to know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Brad Whitfield Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 You have to have a SIP trunk from your ISP, which is why most people don't do it. Supposedly you can do it through Google voice, but I have not looked into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Erinç F?rt?na Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Google voice not supported in my country so it is not possible. I want to figure out how to connect PSTN to PC or RPi so i can use softphones and ip phones at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Phelps Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 You can use cards with Asterisk to connect to POTS lines.http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Charles Reiche Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 My synology nas has asterisk built in but I really don't know how to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_iyaz akhtar Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Asterisk has been on my radar for years. I wonder if the setup got easier... I'll have to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 iyaz akhtar How about a series of shows about how to fix a lot of the problems in Linux so the average person can use it? That would take more than just one show. While support is ending for XP and soon for Win7, Linux is getting better. I just tried Mint 15 Olivia 64 Bit and it's great, easy to install and even looks like Windows 7. It loaded drivers automatically and most things work right off, even wi-fi. Programs are now easy to install and it has a lot of the same programs we are used to like VLC, X-Chat, Chrome, Skype, Picasa, etc. but has some serious drawbacks making it impossible to use instead of Windows for most people. First of all there's no way to do things that are easy in Windows like put a shortcut icon on the desktop. Also I can't find any way to print anything. That's going to be a deal-breaker for most people. Oddly the office suite can use the scanner but doesn't recognize the printer. There's no way to close an app that's frozen on the desktop. USB headsets don't work if you want to use one in Skype or just listen to music. While the webcam and it's mic work in Skype a headphone is not recognized. There doesn't seem to be any way to take photos or record videos with the webcam like I can do in Windows either. And of course it needs some kind of video editor and those are just problems I've found in the last 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
