That is the thread I was thinking about and that I'm not exactly sure to
understand.

I'm not sure about the B410, but my home asterisk system has been

Would you mind if I asked you this :
- Which card did you include in your home system ? Are you using an ISDN BRI
access ?
- Is libpri necessary for ISDN BRI access ? I thought libpri was mostly
dedicated to E1/T1 access

Quoting previously mentioned thread :

Actually...

It'll probably work.  I have tested making basic phone calls, etc over
it, although I'm still tweaking it and making sure that the Q.921 layer
is more likely to pass testing.  Of course, YMMV.  I certainly don't
mind testers though trying it out and reporting issues that they find
with it.  That would help me out a lot.  You'll have to update your
libpri to trunk for it to work though.  That's where all the BRI
development is happening.  And NT-PTMP is not going to work, only NT/TE
PTP and TE PTMP.
