Isn't this a bit like cutting of the nose to spite the face.

UK PSTN lines costs £30 /Qtr  UK ISDN costs £65 /qtr, you could buy two
X100P's every year and still be in pocket by staying with PSTN.

There was a post on the list in the not to distant past where someone had
written two small scripts for getting the information from a BT50 and a
serial modification and passing it to asterisk.

Still seems the best way in the interim.

As has been said many times in the list Digium have given us this software,
we don't have to give them a hard time in return. Not a fair payback.
