How I build my Own VOIP For Personal Use?

[JorSlz]

I just want to know if someone here knows how I can build my own VOIP service just for my personal use. I want to connect some SPA-1001 to a server and get dial tone from the SPA-1001 to make a call, like VOIP call to PSNT number.

Like

Server
SPA- 1001 connect it to the server thru the internet no matter where you are and when I pick the phone that will be connect to the SPA I will get a dial tone from that country local line and that way I can dial a number and start calling people without paying the rate charge for the call or a service provider for the service.

Someone here knows what equipment I need to buy to setup this. I want to use this only with my family, like 10 peoples.

You can do what you want with an Asterisk PBX system. You have to interface the pstn line(s) to the Asterisk computer and a broadband internet connection to the computer. You get an ip address from one of the free services, and you setup each SPA1001 as an "extension" on the Asterisk system. You need to buy a separate computer for the asterisk system. You can use the free, downloadable, Trixbox package for the software (formerly called Asterisk@Home).

The pstn lines can be interfaced the the computer with a hardware attachment card or it is possible to use an ATA like the SPA3000 which has a capability to interface to a pstn line.

It will take some study to set this up as it is not trivial. Start by reading the NerdVittles web pages and the Dumb-Me guide for Trixbox.
