If you succeed in doing this, i.e., turning asterisk into a softswitch, you'll 
be quite famous, at least to me and a few others. For background on the IPCC
softswitch and related technologies, you can browse this url:

Connecting a VoP (VoIP, VoATM, VoFR, VoMPLS) cloud to the PSTN via SS7 is one
of the great challenges, especially if you want to use open-source software from
asterisk and other projects. There are proprietary solutions, of course, but
I assume you're looking for something more cost effective since you're using
asterisk.

Good luck. and plz post your results if you succeed.
