Hi all,

I have a shed load of UK (BT) analogue equipment at our office (18 phones, 6 faxes) hooked up via structured cabling to an old Avaya ArgentOffice phone system. The on-its-way-out phone system has an IDSN30e PRI interface talking to the BT exchange delivering 18 channels. If I were to buy a 2 port PRI card like the TE205P would this allow me to put asterisk in between?
BT.EXCH <===> ASTERISK <===> Avaya PBX <===> Tphones/fax
               ||
            IP-Phones  :-)

My objective is to allow the introduction of IP phones at remote sites using an existing OpenVPN tunnels, and start the migration to new kit. I would reset the Avaya config to present its POT's FXS sockets as single channels on the IDSN and then do the extension routing and call handling with asterisk.

Questions:
o Can Asterisk inpersonate a telco over IDSN 30e well enough to please a PBX?
o    .. with pass-through CLID?
o Avaya PBX has some very old VOIP support, so does anyone know if the ASTERISK <===> Avaya link may be possible over IP?
o Has anyone seen this working?

Kind regards, and thanks for any thoughts you may share.

Chris
