[Asterisk-Users] BRI Newbie - What Hardware, PCI, in the US?

[Tertius Smit]

Hi Mr Gee
I am using the Duxbury HFC PCI Bri card and found it to be very stable running asterisk-1.2.4 with Zaptel-1.2.3 with bristuff-0.3.0-PRE-1 on FedCore 4
Only problem is that you can only have FXO OR FXS on a card and not both on the same 1 port BRI card

My 5 cents worth is if you use Bristuff stable you must use Asterisk-1.0.10 ( Old version ) If you use Bristuff 3PRE1l you will have problems with FXO cards as I did.
Bristuff3PRE1l is not Stable use at own risk!!!

Consensus certainly seems to be the Junghanns cards are amongst the best, but not exactly cheap. If you only need to service 2 BRIs, you might want to look at some of the passive options. We have a number of sites here in the UK running 2 HFC-S based cards in a box, all of which seem quite satisfactory (no echo, etc.). Over here you can pick up HFC-S based cards (the ones we use are these: http://www.solwise.co.uk/isdn.htm) for under £20, so they're probably even cheaper on your side of the pond.

Chris
