Yes, and it's the great thing of Usenet, to share one's experience, i
understand "Flash" points out that it's fast, not that a thumb memory
stick is used, and that it's based on a CentOS Linux distro, i'm also
interested in setting up a PBX server, to connect my normal POTS phone
to, Internet,(VoIP/SIP) and my incomming POTS landline,
What's better to use, i now have a SPA3102 ATA, also have a grandstream
GXP2000 now...or is a Digium PCI card, a better solution ? ( i want to
be able to receive normal landline calls too) for phoning mostly by
VoIP/SIP ?
