[Asterisk-Users] BRI Hunting, using both channels on one msn

[gw at adcomcorp.com]

Hello Armin,
I tried your new version of chan capi and it works well.

I did have one question about capi.conf.  I have a bri with 2 spids, but
I want to have the second go to a zap fax channel.

Right now I can direct it, but the echo canceller is setting up.  Do you
know a way to cancel it?  Fax works, but I suspect it would work better
with EC off on large faxes.
I tried the capi fax receive, but the images came out with the wrong
dimensions(on .05).

Also,
Is there a way to split each msn into a different call group in
capi.conf?  I tried a few combinations but no luck.
I was thinking I could disable the EC for the line in general.

Oh as per the hunt, I had verizon program a hunt into the line and it
seems to work now.  It is funny though, since I think my usrobotics
modem can also do it, I just don't know exactly how it is handled.  capi
just causes the line to report a busy.

And there is a new eicon driver that works on 2.6.


Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,

now I understand. You use NI-1 with spids. I'm sorry, I don't know
anything about this protocol. ETSI does not have this 'channel-problem'.

Maybe it can be solved with some load parameters for the BRI card.
You should use the latest driver and divactrl (possibly the SRPM from
Eicon).

regards,
Armin
