channel. As a 56k or 64K channel, it is not a great deal different, as far as
stress goes, than a D channel on a PRI. (Only discussing stress on the
system.) You do have to have two SS7 channels per the SS7 standards, for
reliability. From there on, there should be little to no difference how many
64K channels of audio/modem-tones you can handle. IMO.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

PRI to an AS5300, the AS5300 was exactly handling analog modem calls.<br>
Works ok, as long as the CPU is always lightly loaded.<br>
Changing one E1 from PRI to SS7 should make no diference whatsoever if you're
using libss7, since libpri uses DAHDI and chan_dahdi for bridging the call.<br>
It was like 6 years ago, so I don't even have the scripts. Just saying it
should work, specially with faster (newer) CPUs.<br>

We will try receiving SS7, routing via SIP, answering on the AS5300, then
looping back to itself (out PRI, in PRI ports) in order to invoke the modem
termination. This way we may be able to spare the TDM cards in Asterisk and reuse
the E1 ports installed in the gateway.<br>

<br>
ZapRAS seems to work only with ISDN calls. "This command is not for use
with<br>
analog lines; it does not provide a modem emulator."<br>
(<a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+ZapRAS"

<br>
You need something doing the modulation. It seems that iaxmodem is your best<br>
bet, and you'll have to make a good bunch of work on it to be able to use as
you<br>
want to.<br>
<br>
If your client has the cisco gateways, I'd suggest you to keep them. They are<br>
very reliable and tested, and with MICA cards they have not a high resale
value,<br>
so you'll probably end with them as paperweights unless you happen to have some<br>
stack of C549 cards to repurpose them.<br>
<br>
Saludos,<br>
