[asterisk-users] ISDN BRI vs SIP Trunks over EDIA

[Mark Engelhardt]

Hello,

I am installing Asterisk in a small office with just 4 lines and 8 Extensions. 

I have two choices from my local telco (Fairpoint): 

1) Old School ISDN BRI lines which I would connect to Asterisk with a OpenVOX B200P
2) Telco supplied SIP trunks over a service called EDIA which is 1MB ethernet over several pair of copper lines. 

The ISDN BRI solution is less than 1/2 the price of the SIP solution. 

Any recommendations? Pitfalls?
