I have a residential (home) application that I'm trying to implement and not sure how to go about it. I currently have an analogue PBX with ~8 extensions, connected to a single PSTN line. The quality of the PBX is pretty poor and I want to replace it, ideally with a VOIP solution. I have an extensive network of CAT6 in the house, cabled back to patch panels and gigabit switches.
At this stage, I don't want to go for an end-to-end VOIP solution, but would like the flexibility to do that later. What I envisage at the moment is to have an internal VOIP network, with the same number of extensions in the house, all interfaced to the existing PSTN line. I want to be able to make internal inter-extension calls and make / receive external calls from any extention. I guess that I would need some sort of VOIP to PSTN interface but am not sure what I need or whether such a thing is easily available (and affordable) for domestic use.
I'd really appreciate any advice or pointers to where I can get the info that I need
Regards
Dave
