just wondering if my train of thoughts make any sense.
I imagine setting up asterisk on a virtual blade server irent, that also shows some web pages. My staff and i use ip phones in several offices and soft phones on smartphones to connect to the asterisk server for both incoming and outgoing calls. Asterisk would also serve as voicemail and conference call server. Asterisk should divide incoming calls to any ip or soft phone logged on. Internal calls between my staff and i use a short number to dial.
All i would need to make all that work is to buy an ip trunk with numbers from a voip provider to connect the asterisk server ( and us ) to the rest of the world.
Is that right, does that work, or am i missing something?
Take in account David’s comments, but generally the answer is yes. You are on the right track. But you will have to do a lot of work to learn about VoIP, Linux and Asterisk.
Well, thanks guys. That is encouraging. I administered many a network and node using Linux a.o. I will be cracking on asterisk and voip in the weeks ahead.
