I got a new job and I have to make a lot of cold calls. I talked to my boss and I got the gist it was ok to setup my own thing as long as I didn't disturb other people (e.g. ask for a static IP address or extra equipment).
For testing purposes, I want to have asterisk inside a VM on my laptop (at least in the beginning)...or bring my Pentium IV asterisk server to work eventually.
On my desk, I have one cat5 cable /w internet access, one digital phone and one Rj-11 with access to the PTSN. I know there is a PBX somewhere, but it doesn't work with IP phones. I don't think the rj-11 is connected directly to the phone company, but management can monitor agent call time and everything.
The PBX was setup half a decade ago and the IT guy is for all intent and purposes not there to help me.
I'd like to use the company's landlines, will Obi110 be enough??? Also, in the Mary video there is a default menu that plays, but I want incoming calls to simply go to the digital hard phone without the menu, is that possible?
thanks
