<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm in the process of setting up Asterisk in a SOHO
environment using ISDN for trunking. More specifically a BRI 2B+D circuit
where one SPID is used for the business and the other is used for
personal. The circuit already exists, but is presently being interfaced to
POTS phones via a TA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This configuration is not very common in the US,
but we are fortunate that our LEC offers it price competitively with equivalent
POTS services and it makes more sense, both in terms of voice quality (4 wire
digital to the PABX) and flexibility.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ideally it would allow any combination of two
calls, identified by SPID.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone has done anything similar, or has any
experience with BRI ISDN, I would appreciate input and direction.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone knows where documentation exists on
configuring ISDN, that information would also be greatly appreciated.
Asterisk has a bit of a learning curve, and ISDN BRI isn't the most widely used
or covered aspect of it. BTW, I have a strong telecom background, so the
theory part of it will not be a problem, only the necessary documentation to
apply it to Asterisk.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
