<BR>
Hey gang,<BR>
We currently have a class 3 switch (CSX) that..well..it sucks. It does<BR>
terrible CDR writes, doesn't support LCR, the list goes on and on. We want<BR>
to replace this with several asterisk boxes each running one or two 4 port<BR>
PRI cards.<BR>
The problem is: I can plug in 20 PRI lines into the CSX (from PSTN) and<BR>
have 1 come from CSX into asterisk. If 1 call comes in on each of the 20<BR>
pris, the CSX concentrates them into 1 pri into asterisk. Thus I only need a<BR>
single PRI card for asterisk box.<BR>
<BR>
If I want to completly replace the CSX, I would need several boxes with 1<BR>
or 2 4 port cards. But that is a big waste of money when I can concentrate<BR>
into less cables.<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone know of some piece of hardware (other than a carrier switch)<BR>
that will do the same thing? Keeping our current switch doesn't cost<BR>
anything except in terms of power consumption and physical space (its like<BR>
5U or 8U).<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
Matthew<BR>
