[VoIP] Switcher in training

[Dennis D Hock]

Welcome Frank.  You have joined a good group of folks who are scattered all over the world and enjoy the discussions about switching both old and new.  Crossbar may be very difficult to come by and a small demo Strowger (Step by Step) system would be much easier to come by or assemble.
 
Good luck and when you get on line you can give me a call.  Caveat I am not often home to answer but when I am I try to get to the set.

Good afternoon, all.

I am in the beginning stages of building an Asterisk switch, then ultimately an legacy switch.  

I have an extensive background in electronics and computers, and I have worked in microwave radio as well as operating a medium sized System 75.  I've read the documentation on Asterisk and, combined with my System 75 knowledge, I feel pretty confident about putting up an Asterisk PBX/tandem.  When I start to put my legacy switch together, I will most likely reach out to the group for some help.

One question I do have is about crossbar switches.  Is there equipment available to build a small switch?  I live in a typical Northwest tract home, and floor load is an issue.  I don't know if my floor will hold a larger switch.  Any information will be most helpful.

Oh yeah, I was also in broadcasting as a DJ and broadcast engineer.  East Hill Radio is my other spot of electronic and computer insanity!
