BTW, I've worked in telecom for much of the past 37 years and I have run many systems, over copper & fibre. Incidentally, most of the phone system runs over fibre.
James, if I were to go out tomorrow and get myself a fibre connection, I would assume it to be for IP-traffic only - it's certainly not available just for telephone traffic :-). Apart from VoIP-devices, I have no idea how I would go about hooking up e.g. my DECT base station. What is the typical CPE equipment required for a hookup with fibre on the "last mile"? (whichever country or telco you have experience with)
I have voice over IP phone in my home. The cable company provided me with a box that connects to the cable network on one side and provides up to two POTS phone lines on the other. It is IP back to their office, over coaxial cable and fibre. I can plug in any device that can connect to a regular phone line. Here's a link to a device that can be used to connect standard analog devices to an IP service. http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=01313... This is not the device I have here, but it provides similar function. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
