I can appreciate the desire to avoid reconfiguring existing hardware, but that is part and parcel of what we are discussing: reconfiguring hardware. Without further specification, it has no bearing on how to preserve application behavior, which is what we are trying to accomplish with this discussion.

I don't wish to second-guess your analysis of the business requirements - you are the authority - but your initial post expressed a desire to move toward an Asterisk configuration as one of your goals. Toward that end, development of an appropriate dialing plan ultimately must happen, and I would think if done properly, would not change dialing patterns or extension numbering unless this is what you desired.

I must agree that fax and modem performance is problematic, but here again, this would be an issue anyway when you transition completely to Asterisk, as you implied about your long-term plan. So perhaps now is the time to address this matter.

Are you sure you really want to do this at all?

what are the application implications of this? In other words, what system behavioral changes will your users experience in the various scenarios (pure circuit emulation vs. relay via IAX or similar)?

circuit emulation will;

1. eliminate the need to reconfigure the exisitng hardware.
2. improve the chances that fax and analog modem devices will still work.
3. NOT change any dialing patterns or extensons numbering.

there are other, but they are less significant

My goal is to run an asterisk box at each end ... with the goal of migrating 
off of the
norstars eventually.
