Phone number via SIP

Question

SIP

There is an unused telephone line and a Linux server connected to the Internet.
Advise on how to use this phone line for calls via SIP in an easier way?

Answer 1

The easiest way is to use an FXO-SIP gateway such as the LinkSYS SPA-3102.
If you still want to tie this case specifically to the server, then put an asterisk on it, it easily docks with such gateways.
well, as an option, purchase a PCI / PCI-E board with an FXO port (s), plug it into the server, install any PBX, I advise again * (asterisk).

Answer 2

Yes, what an asterix. An unprepared person can understand it for at least two weeks. Too complicated for such a simple task.
The gateway from LinkSYS is the most it. On eBay they were $ 60 apiece, though with the delivery of troubles, such as only in the USA, but there you can negotiate with the seller.

Answer 3

SPA-3102 is our everything. I note that the periodically recommended Linksys PAP2T does not know how to fax ...

Answer 4

Install an asterisk on Linux, buy an fxo board for connecting to a telephone line on the server, then you can call some client through an asterisk with some kind of soft dialer or sipphone.

Answer 5

The best option is to install a gateway piece of iron, the guys have already indicated the models above, quickly set up and use it, but if you still want to connect all this with an asterisk, then please contact me for advice or show you exactly where you can read on the issue.

Answer 6

You can find a regular analog modem instead of a board
