[Asterisk-Users] * point to point t1 solution?

Damon,
    I am not intimately familiar with what you are specifically trying 
to achieve, *BUT*, if the two Norstars are essentially just 
'interconnected' via teh T1 to provide either an E&M Wink "type" 
connection/private TDM bus between the two boxes so that extensions are 
'bridged' between the two PABX's.. then *YES*.. Asterisk can do that.

    I have a setup at present of an Asterisk box that has 1 E1 PRI 
coming in from a telco, and 1 E1 PRI going TO an Ericsson BP250 system. 
The Asterisk box transparently passes incoming calls destined for the 
BP250 to the BP250, and all the BP250 users can 'direct-dial' so to 
speak Asterisk extensions and vice-versa.

    Since your original question is a tad ambigious to someone not 
entirely intimate with your setup, I could have missed the point 
entirely, as there is quite a few 'ways' to tie PABX's together and the 
reasoning can be very different (Could be for 'switched' extensions, 
could be for LCR setup, could be for VoiceMail integration, could be 
cause thats what the original installer just did...)

    Hope that helps you a little. I'd suggest looking at "Connecting 
Asterisk to Legacy PABX's" and then extrapolate that information to suit 
your needs.

Regards

Adrian
