[Asterisk-Users] BRI cards, HFC, and bristuff - a general question to clear up my understanding.

[Zoa]

The bristuff has things built in to only make it work with junghanns
cards, although this is easily circumvented (legally since its GPL) you
might still not want to do that.

When patched it will work for any hfc card afaik. (at least it on our
card when we tried it).

We stopped with the bristuff as bristuff will break any other zaptel
cards in the same system. (pri seems logical, why the tdm card also
broke is unknown to me).

Have a look at chan_misdn, if it works for you specific setup it will
probably be quite stable, the main problems i've seen so far is for fax
passthrough coming from or going to a pri card.

If you need help with the setup of chan_misdn, have a look here,
http://www.asteriskguru.com/tutorials/chan_misdn.html if you are running
asterisk-1.2 beta or cvs-head you can skip the first parts as the misdn
code will already be included in asterisk.

Greetings,

Zoa
