Hi Jim,

Thanks for the explanation, I have couple of questions here.

1) Does the xorcom box support *8 Port PRI E1 Interface*. ?
2) Also the Primary and Secondary Asterisk Server can be any server which
will run Asterisk or AsteriskNow (http://www.asterisk.org/asterisknow)
Application and customizable or do i also need to buy this from Xorcom ? Not
sure i understand that.
3) How does the xorcom box communicate with the Asterisk Server which do not
contain any PRI Card inside the system.

Much Appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Kaushal
