[asterisk-users] PRI Test Lab

[Lee Wilson]

Thanks Dave, I hadn't read up on Dynamic Spans before and will certainly take a look.  If anyone else is interested I did a quick google search and came up with the following links:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+TDMoE

If this is the correct stuff, it will give me something to start with.
