You can use a Norstar T1 or E1 card to interconenct with asterisk. T1 card
is supportted in DR5 but for E1 card I thing that you need Software release
6. There is an upgrade kit for norstar, includes hardware, software and key
codes to enable PRI functions

 Will this work?
When PRI us used, you can use Nortar target lines in order to redirect
incoming calls based on incoming digits
