[General] VoIP For Home Usage

[Majed B.]

Faisal,
What is the difference between FreePBX and Trixbox? I admit that I
didn't dig much, but I'd appreciate it if you explain the difference
for me. I'll my digging at the end of this week since I'm busy with
some reconstruction work at the moment.
I know that FXO ports are those that you plug into the wall socket and
FXS are for the analog phone devices.

There's a reseller in Dubai for Digium. I'll compare their pricing to
Amazon (+ Aramex) and see which fits.


Burhan,
That's great news! Any idea how much it costs? What about the phone
devices that you use? How much do they cost?

Thank you guys!
