Thanks.

I just have FXS cards in the channel bank. Does this mean I expect FXS
signalling from the T1?  If not, what more do I need to ask the Telco?

I'm not getting callerID, just DID.

Yes, of course...and I am planning to do exactly that. But before going to
that expense, I need to test my software (converted to AGI) under asterisk
with what I've got now.
