    and after that we can connect all of our asterisks and make our own telco. li an intranet or vpn just for telephones. i was thinking about this for a while so at least we can call each others bbs with our modems for free.

    lol BBSing is what drives my curiousity about it also. ;)

    Dang, now I've got to check out the Asterisk PBX LXC container. I have a SIP line coming into a SIP phone here, assume I could have it land on Asterisk and ring my phone.

    Have you ever used IAX2 between a couple PBXes? It sounds so good!

    Never did. Most of my telco career was before that, running Nortel
    PBXes. Nortel started doing SIP, but it wasn't very open - it was mostly
    using their controllers to manage proprietary phones. We did do SIP
    trunking between switches, replacing MPLS, and I was going to look at
    SIP to SIP with Asterisk for an acquisition we purchased, but we ended
    up moving them into one of our existing offices.

    This was so early on that the way voice mail systems would exchange
    messages between sites was transferring sound files via 2400 baud
    modems.
