Normally I can be quite critical of the sometimes brusque replies on this 
list but the reply Steven sent was filled with information. He started out 
by saying that he found your email hard to read and the reasons why. He 
then stated that you have a lot to learn about T1/isdn pri which is 
probably true. This is a complex subject and if you are not familiar with 
it it may be a good idea to hire a consultant who is. 

This list is really not meant as a general educational tool for digital 
telecom. There are such resources elsewhere on the net. Once you have done 
your homework and is more knowledgeable on the topics of telecommunications 
you are in a better position to ask questions regarding Asterisk. At that 
point you will probably receive a lot more help from the members of this 
list.
