    I have an Asterisk system that I've been using for years for both home and business.  I have used it over the Internet as well to have (local) access to my phone system while traveling, etc.

     

    I am wanting to perhaps setup some extra lines, and enable our growing mesh here locally to have access through the mesh to mt Asterisk server, and out to the PSTN (and hopefully inbound as well)

     

    Anyone doing this?  Any tips as far as getting the routing to work properly?

    Yes. I've done it. Just plug the Asterisk server into the mesh. Assuming you are using X Host Direct, nothing else needs to be done on the Mesh side (except for the possible ticking of Mesh Gateway). Dependent on your PSTN service, you might have to forward ports on your local network to point to the mesh node.

    I'll give it a try, but I can't imagine how that would work, how the LAN that the phone system is on would be able to assign the DHCP address for the phone system, while a mesh node is sitting between it and the Asterisk box. Even so, how would a VOIP phone reach it, since it's outside the mesh? To add insult to injury, the LAN happens to be a 10.x.x. subnet, which unfortunately is what was chosen (the entire 10.x range! ugh)by the developers of BBHN.
