[asterisk-users] Asterisk instances on VPS

[James Sturges]

Hi,

Don't know if it helps, but in AU you can tell the telco to place all calls
on 2 ISDN's at the same time.

That way you could have 2 ISDN lines on 2 ISDN cards (or Spans) and all
calls would be presented on both ISDN services.

That way each asterisk server can decide what call it takes.

Thanks

James

Salve Tzafrir, *!

I found Gustavo's mail on the vserver ml and it is IMHO 
not the primary problem with a vserver - but I know to 
less about ISDN to give him the right tip.

(without vserver)
Does this belongs to digium drivers or to ISDN in general?
Aren't there ISDN cards, where two diffrent aplications
could use two b-channels at the same time?

1. Where are documentation how to do this?
2. Is this possible with digium hardware, with TE110P, too?

Whithout this information I know only that a third asterisk on
the vserver could serve the channels for the two asterisk instances,
or probably a second TE110P card could help.

So it's not (yet) possible let two applications use one digium card?
AFAIK is ISDN access quite time-critical, so a hack with a script to
fake /dev/zap/ctl1 /dev/zap/ctl2 will not worth a try for Gustavo?
(Beside complexity for rules how to split /dev/zap/ctl for the fakes)
Right?

Would I be right that, that Gustavo should ask Digium directly about
this topic?

Greetings,
rob
