BRISTUFF never worked properly with US BRI.  Chan_dahdi MIGHT work but
I see a steady stream of Dahdi compaints, segfaults, not seeing
things.  Sound like Alpha code to me.

I will not be installing anything called DHADI on a production system
for another year at least.  Besides that, can you specify in
dahdi.conf or whatever what the SPIDS are?

Does it give you an option for US vs other BRI?  If not, it won't work
reliably.

If you don't mind missing inbound calls at random intervals, then it
should work fine.
