[asterisk-ss7] SS7 + T1 on Asterisk?

[Matt]

In this case, our supplier is ourselves.  We have a DMS100, but the
switch guy is someone other than myself - I am the IP guy.

So basically if I understand you properly, I should be able to do the
SS7+T1 and get proper operation, provided the configuration on both
sides is right.
