I would like to introduce myself. I am the new Development Program Manager
with Quicknet Technologies. From this point on I will be working to provide
support and a point of contact to those individuals and companies developing
business solutions based of Quicknet technology and products. Please feel free
to contact me if you should need anything or have any questions.
With regard to your question, the box you are describing would need a few basic
components.
First, you will need a server with an installed operating system. I am
assuming you plan to use Linux running on an Intel processor. This would give
you the best results as there are now quite alot of resources available for
such a PC based PBX. Also, a system that needs to be realtime and is not
running an embedded system would benefit from an OS that can be stripped down
to the kernel and tuned to be very fast and flexible.
This system would then need some type of a data connection to the rest of the
world. This could be a modem, ethernet card, T1 terminator or any other
available data line. It should all be transparent to the rest of the system
because the software running on the system won't see below th IP stack.
Third, the system would need an interface for the CO lines. The Quicknet
Internet LineJACK would be an excellent choice for this (remember, I am a
little bias). You would need 1 card for each analog trunk that you would be
bringing in to the system. Each Internet LineJACK will provide both an FXO
port for the trunk line as well as an FXS port for an analog handset for local
use. This configuration would also allow you to use the central PBX as a
gateway device. The Internet PhoneJACK would also work well for the remote
office connections to the central PBX.
The complicated part is the application that would be needed to operate the
PBX system and VoIP. The are numerous opensource resources such as
www.openphone.org and www.openh323.org available, but much of the feature set
would need to be customized. I would also recommend using mySQL as the
database engine for this PBX. It is very fast and would work well for such
things as voicemail.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

Looking for just an overview.
I would like to put together a business pbx that couls support multiple
incoming co lines locally and also incoming calls from our satalite offices via
voip. I would greatly appreciate it if someone with more experiance with this
type of system could tell me what you think would be involved in putting such a
system together. Very interested in what hardware would be needed. I have been
looking into the LineJack and PhoneJack products.
Some features that we would like to implement are
call parking or queing
call tranfere
call hold
music on hold
voice mail
voip (we use Cisco routers that support voip)

However, there's also something to be said for being supported *now*, and
being the cheapest readily-available option. ;) I know that Lucent-based
Winmodems are supported (and cheap!), but trying to find one is a big pain
in the butt. ;)
I tried to call. Give me a call please at 254-778-8028 x114
