[Asterisk-Users] ADSI -- is it dead? Worth bothering with?

[C F]

While at this subject I would like to post this question regarding ADSI.
If I use a channel bank (like the Adit 600) with a digium T1/E1 card
connected to asterisk, can I still get to use ADSI phones? with all
the fun stuff?
If the answer is yes, if I go ahead and configure the Adit 600 to use
a CMG card for the FXS cards, will I still be able to use ADSI?
Thank You.
