Does it work on Asterisk or Freeswitch ?<br>>
Do Telcos provide an E3 connection ?<br>>

One of our customers had an inquiry for terminating 6000 calls
simultaneously. I want to do some homework before taking it further with
him. If I use E1 lines, I will need 6000 / 30 = 200 E1 lines, which
does not look feasible ?<br>>

Thanks for any input you may provide.<br>> <br>> regards,<br>> <br>> Anita Hall,<br>> Simmortel Voice.<br>>
<br><br>Putting that many calls on one system is not a good idea... you'll want
to spread those calls over multiple machines with some sort of
redundancy or failover.<br>
<br>
Also, the card you reference is for clear channel data only, not voice.
However, you may want to give Sangoma a call. They are top notch when it
comes to custom solutions and have some of the brightest people on
staff.<br>

In my research into T3/E3 connectivity, I've found it's generally best
to go with some sort of a MUX that will take your T3/E3 and break it
down into individual T1/E1 circuits. If I recall, Adtran makes a few
nice units for this.<br><br>--Tim<br></div></body></html>
