[Asterisk-Users] Any success with BRI in the US?

[Brian G]

Greg, Eicon gave me two resellers:
Alternative Tech 800 544-7674
Aliance Systems 800 977-1010

I don't believe I called either as the cards were too expensive.  Go
ahead and give Eicon a call.  They were helpful with me and knew
something about Asterisk.
