[VoIP] Cisco MC3810-V3 Question(S)

[Charles Graf]

Shane,
    Space and power is not a problem for a standard computer of which I have several to choose from. Do I still need a PC interface board with a FXO/FXS function?

    I have no problems with editing the router for static routes and opening ports, etc. I am currently on dynamic IP address and will look into getting a static address, although my better half prefers a changing address... security issues with her work when she works from home.

    I have been unable to locate where to download Red Hat Linix from, but did find and got the Fedora version. I already have the Asterisk software.

    Forgive my lack of knowledge on telephony terminology, how is the term 'tandem' used in this case? Is it used as in a remote PC controls the function of my 3810 via the Internet? If that is the case, then my own PC and the 3810 with a hub between them and a connection to my router would be all I need, correct? Other then loading the software and configuration files and the usual software debugging I see mentioned on the list.

Don't worry about the postage, sorry it took me so long to get it in the mail!

As I mentioned before, the technically less complicated route would be  
for you to get your own Asterisk box.  Without it, we'll have to get  
your 3810 to tandem from somone elses, which will require a bit of  
work in your firewall or router.

How comfortable are you with editing rules in your router/firewall?

Do you have a static IP address from your DSL provider or do you get  
one out of a pool which might change somewhat randomly.

Do you have any space or power concerns for something that could be as  
large as a standard PC?

It would be kind of an interesting experiment to see if we can get it  
to work off of someone elses tandem.  I think it would be a good way  
for more people to get involved.

Let me know about the questions above and we can go from there..  I  
have a tandem in a data center we could connect you to and try it out.
