With this you are able to connect different locations via a VPN connection. At a low cost per phone, compared to other VoIP PBX.

Sounds like it would fit perfect into what you have. »www.packet8.net/about/virtual_office.asp

You could have 2 ext. at one location and 1 at the other. They would both connect over your existing Internet Connection and you wouldn't have to mess with a VPN setup. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13356718 Sun, 08 May 2005 00:04:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13353988 garys_2k : Hmm, some WAGs...

If you have computers with XP Pro at both ends you should be able to establish a VPN between them. The one at the main greenhouse (let's call that PC "main") should be able to bridge from that VPN to the Internet.

The other PC ("remote") should then be able to see the Inteternet via its VPN connection. Next, put a second network interface card on that PC and put a VoIP ATA into that. You should allow that second NIC to access the VPN. This is sort of what's suggested for people living in areas that block VoIP, to tunnel through a VPN to another PC that has access to it.

This should give you two phone lines connected through the main's Internet connection, but I'm not sure what all of that would do for you. You'd still need an Internet connection at the remote end to make it all work, you could use your phone adapter with that line directly.

Do you want some sort of "inside" line? If so, Skype or FWD would likely be a lot easier.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13353988 Sat, 07 May 2005 17:14:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13352641 kooj : Hello all,

I own a nursery and would like to do more with my business' small WAN. Currently, the main greenhouse is connected to the Internet through a T1. My other, smaller nursery, located in a town that’s about 20 miles away, is connected to the Internet via DSL. I've heard that I might be able to establish a VPN between the two nurseries and use it to carry telephone calls. I am wondering what kind of new equipment I would have to buy, and how much this might cost. I would like to compare the cost and network design options for using the business’s existing telephones versus buying new, digital telephones. My main greenhouse has three telephone extensions and the other greenhouse has only one. I would like to compare the total one-time setup costs for both options (existing and digital).

I would like to do the purchasing and installation myself but I don't know where to begin. Could any one point me in the right direction or, even better, explain to me exactly what I should do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13352641 Sat, 07 May 2005 12:57:03 EDT
