Re: The PABX works!

[Pete Shew <ukha_d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It works! My rebuild of my PBX is working fine and better than before.
My Omnicom FS2828 died so I lobotomised it and threw a couple of PICs at
it and now it does a better job than before. A much better, to my mind,
human interface for domestic use then the original.

I felt I had to share my feelings of success :-)

OK - I know everyone is talking about VOIP these days, but VOIP phones
aren't cheap and they are overkill for the purpose. Asterisk would have
been nice, but the FXS interfaces are too pricey. My answerphone uses a
Dialogic card in a Windows PC with RYO software to email messages.

What I need to do now is to link the answerphone to the PBX to allow
turning on the message waiting lights, or maybe putting up Asterisk with
a link to the PBX.so I can use Asterisk Answerphone and VOIP routing
features. It would have to be a jigged FXO card though because they're
cheap, like me.

Onwards ...
