Great. I can definately show how that's done. What do you mean
however by a SIP-to-POTS bridge? Do you mean using an FXO/FXS card to
hook up an Asterisk server to a POTS line or do you mean something more

Re: [BLUG] Asterisk/VoIP presentation

i was interested in asterisk for making an answering machine that would
record to sound files in your home folder, but the configuration docs
always made my eyes glaze over.. also wanted to try a SIP-to-POTS bridge.

so, i'll try to be there.
