[Asterisk-Users] Digium T100P T1 Card

[Wiley Siler]

Well, I wont say my time is cheap or that I know everything about the
T1s.  However, I did manage to build my PBX on *, implement Polycom IP
500 phones pulling configs from the network, and script my own
extensions all with an initially minimal understanding of Linux. I have
dealt with problems as they arose, sought out solutions on the wiki and
elsewhere, learned more about Linux and I am very comfortable with the
system now.  

Telecom is complex but that does not mean that only a contractor can get
it done.  If I had money to pay a contractor, I would probably have had
money to buy a boxed PBX in the first place.  Cost effective has always
been the greatest selling point to me regarding my * PBX.  Just enjoying
the challenge and learning new things has been good too.  I have no
question that I am capable of implementing this.  How long it will take
and how hard are of course different questions.  That I have only myself
as a resource is not.

After reading the wiki on setting up the PRI it does not look that
complicated to me.  The recompile is the only portion that looks time
consuming.  That may prove wrong or right.  Regardless, I will be going
the course alone...  And that's OK.  8)

Thanks,
Wiley

The telecom system is really a lot more complex than most people think. 
Getting someone who knows the field is really a good idea for almost
anything more complex than a single analoge connection. If you do know
the stuff yourself, great. Otherwise your time will have to be pretty
cheap to compensate for the time it takes to know enough to build an
isdn pbx with voip.
