[Asterisk-Users] Advice on BT ISDN Services (UK)

[Benjamin Johnson]

Thanks for that Jon,

can anyone confirm whether Asterisk can pick up which MSN has been 
dialed and route the call depending on this - or does this functionality 
only work for DDIs. If I have to use DDIs can anyone recommend and 
active ISDN card which works with Asterisk and is readily available in 
the UK.

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm completely new to ISDN! ;-)

Thanks,

Benjamin
