[asterisk-users] standalone PRI-to-SIP converter

[Matjaz]

Hi everyone,

i ended using Patton, right after a fiasco with overlap to enblock 
conversion
on a users PBX ...
Had to go out and pay more for a Voxip unit . That things serves me well 
and is
far less complicated to setup.

NOw using it to interconnect a PBX with aprox 5000 extensions behind it, 
without a problem.


But ... on the side note . MAKE THEM CONVERT TO IP PBXs .. ( though 
hardly possible on large installs )
