1 A PBX is only really useful if you can get calls into it. Of course, you
2 can use Asterisk with VoIP calls (SIP, H.323, IAX), but you can also talk
3 to the real PSTN through various cards.
5 Supported Hardware is divided into two general groups: Zaptel devices and
6 non-zaptel devices. The Zaptel compatible hardware supports pseudo-TDM
7 conferencing and all call features through chan_zap, whereas non-zaptel
8 compatible hardware may have different features.
