[Asterisk-Users] Oz ISDN

[Kimble Young]

David,

If you go the analogue route:

* You'll get poor audio compared to ISDN which is crystal.
* Each number will act like a seperate line unlike with an ISDN card where
you can receive two calls simultaneously on the same line.
* You'll lose cool ISDN features like call deflection.
* It won't be as reliable (speculation).
* It'll probably cost just as much for two analogue cards as a fritz card.

On the positive side you won't have to go through a lot of frustration
getting the fritz working.

In summary using an analogue adaptor on ISDN rather defeats the purpose of
ISDN.

Regards,

Kimble Young

In Australia, Telstra, the local telco provides isdn modem for isdn
connection. The modem has 2 analogue telephone jacks and a serial port
for connection to dialup internet.

My question is that will it be possible to use Zaptel TDM02B to connect
to the analogue jack instead of getting a fritz card to do the
telephony. Will there be less feature if doing so?
