It isn't immediately clear to me whether I need to get two existing PABXs programmed to forward occasional calls along ordinary phone lines to each other, at minimal cost, or to buy a complete new installation for two buildings at ... not-minimal ... cost, or to save teh congestion on our lines and some call charges by eg plugging two of the little Linksys boxes in, one at each end, and having them forward calls between the boxes. Or build or have built an Asterisk setup. Which looks moderately amusing and would fit with several of the above ideas. So I'm reading and fiddling. -- A -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
