[Asterisk-bsd] Which hardware i should use?

[Oliver Schneider]

Hello all,

I am really interested in this thread, as I intend to do the same. My
main point is more the other way, to let my ISDN phones rings when I get
an call via ISDN or VoIP and second to use the user menu for incoming
calls on Asterisk, doesn't matter if VoIp or ISDN.

connecting an E1 directly to an PBX (I assume with an normal internal S0 bus)? 
I cannot beleave this will work. But the normal analog adapters should
work with the internal analog port. Of course no ISDN features and just
one channel.

PCI cards should be obtainable for about 80 EUR.

Second choice maybe to such an converter as the sipura to get from
Ethernet to (analog PBX).

I think the AVM PCI options isn't to bad for your demands, unfortunatly
not for me, as I wan't to act my Asterisk as real ISDN PBX. My ISDN
phones are just better than VoIP phones and cheaper.
