[asterisk-users] multiple sip trunks

[John Taylor]

Thanks - have done that and am now trying a one out. However, I'd
still like to know whether 1 asterisk server can support multiple
trunks/registry entries. Does it cause problems?

Thanks

John

Rather than trying to configure/code/etc around the problem with the ITSP, use an ITSP that does things correctly. There are many people here on asterisk-users that can recommend a proper ITSP. If you want pure business response, head over to asterisk-biz and ask there.
