You could get an E3 fed into an M13 mux (at least, that's what a DS3<->T1 mux is called in North America) and break 28 E1s out of it and dump them into individual Asterisk boxes.
As far as Asterisk being a worthwhile choice for this endeavour, it seems this question is somewhat complicated. On the one hand, Zapata supports E1 interface cards. On the other hand, if all you're doing is routing, you'd be much better off using OpenSER or some other SIP proxy and not dealing with the limitations imposed by handling media in any fashion whatsoever. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : +1-678-954-0670 Direct : +1-678-954-0671 _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
