Building your own PBX - Update

I have updated my Building your own PBX article with some additional information and a simple network layout of my system.

Nice. What did you make the layout in?

Also, you didnt include the internet cloud for IAX exchanges.

I didnt include it because I didn't use it for the creation of the article. I am working on a followup that includes that.

I went with BroadVoice because I only call in-state 99% of the time so it was the cheapest plan.

As for using VOIP providers, I will be doing a followup article soon.

Great article Kerry, I've put the ISO on my old Dual Celeron 433 machine and the Asterisk@Home install even used an SMP kernel. Nice. My card to tie in my PTSN system is ordered from ebay, and I am looking forward to the VoIP update. I use packet8 but I don't think it will be possible to tie Asterisk in with it, they are the only provider with a local number though.

I didn't notice any delay when using the cheap card from eBay. I also did not claim that the hardware used would be good for a production environment. The $6.95 cards, in my opinion, are the ideal solution for experimenting and testing or for an inexpensive backup card. You also want good quality components for the rest of the system if it is for production use.
