[Syphic]

How would someone setup the following and what services would you recommend?

- Setup a PBX box for a Business Center; meaning multiple offices, different extensions for each office with voicemail. Each office is rented to a different business but if someone rents out 2 offices needs to be able to let them transfer between each other but not the whole office. Or any thoughts would be appreciated.

- After PBX box setup; who are some good suggestions for services?

I have thought about using Asterisk but if there other options; please provide. I am new to Asterisk just the only Open Source system I know if.

You can use FreeSWITCH as the media/pbx server instead of Asterisk. Maybe you should also think of using a OpenSIPS proxy if you have a crowded LAN with VoIP users there.

Get decent multiproc boxes for your server setup and proven PSTN interface cards. Media servers require CPU power, do not under-rate your servers.

This would be an ideal task for Asterisk, but you're probably not going to get far with FreePBX. All phones are put in the same context by default.

If you put each phone in a separate context, they should only be able to call other phones in the context.

There's a lot of great info here for making that work

Also, if you're new to Asterisk, try to build it from scratch without FreePBX. You can do a lot of cool stuff with * once you're familiar with it.

I have been very satisfied with Ring Central for over a year now! They offer the most features from what I have seen.

Vonage was good.

Skype is nice as well but it causes problems with other voice and speaker applications that I run concurrently...
