Cheap PBX with PRI capability ?

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. Does anyone know of a cheap PBX system that will accept a PRI feed. This is basically for my home, as Videotron will deliver a free PRI line for 2 years, but I'll need something to terminate the line. Cheap probably means less than ?500. Maybe second-hand ?

A. The Cirrus 8 got very good reports in CompuServe UKIT Forum - it costs about 500-600 pounds and uses POTS phones for extensions. ISDN2 plus up to 8 extensions, *and* it copes with MSN. If you're interested I'll trawl my CIS files for the supplier's address. Besides the three options below, does someone know of a free or cheap PBX software that can run on Windows? This is just for SOHO use. Asterisk on Win32 (still using 1.0.10; don't know how reliable on Windows, and what hardware it supports) http://www.asteriskwin32.com/ OnDO PBX and SIP Server (don't know the difference between the two; free for personal use) http://www.brekeke.com/products/products_pbx.php Axon Virtual PBX Software (free) http://www.nch.com.au/pbx/index.html?ref=google&ref2=pbxs&ref3=fr&gcl... To connect to the POTS, since the Digium PCI cards only run with Asterisk, and unless you can recommend other (affordable) PCI cards, I'm thinking of buying a VoIP gateway box such as the Sipura 3000. Any other recommendation? Why do you care about Windows? Run http://www.trixbox.org/ on a dediacted machine, and you'll be much happier. You have to have a dedicated machine anyway, or your PBX isn't going to be very reliable... Because I don't have any Linux server, and I'd rather not have to set up another host just to route calls. That's why I'm looking at free/afordable PBX software for Windows.
