[asterisk-users] ISDN30 testing questions ...

[demuel at thephinix.org]

And how would you be able to make a test telephone call with ISDN30 when you don't have an E1
link? You gonna have two asterisk box connected peer to peer and have the other as the master and
the other as a slave. Or the other way of saying that your other asterisk box generates the
signalling/framing while the other is the recipient? How would you be able to know for sure if
this works?
