<DIV><SPAN class=685302900-16022005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
complete configuration of such a system requires a lot more of information that
the one you gave.But, at a glance, Asterisk + SER is a good choice for
this kind of venture. Asterisk can serve as the PSTN gateway (ISDN PRI
connections primarily) and Voicemail server. SER can manage the billing and the
VOIP-client part.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=685302900-16022005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You
can mount as many as Asterisk and SER servers as much as your traffic will
require. So, you don't have to spend a lot of $$$ to mount such a large
implementation. As I mention earlier, this is just a fast glimpse to a complete
solution, I personally have such an implementation, and let me tell you that
this works really great!!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

this helps</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I know this is casting a wide net,
but If you were charged with building a large, public VOIP network with
multiple PSTN gateways, the capacity to carry a lot of traffic and bill
clients accurately, what pieces (brands, makes, models) would you use to
assemble the solution? Assume that $$$ is not an
issue.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
