Hi Armin! Thanks for the detailed answers and isdn for Linux basics. I will take the opportunity to ask some more questions :-)

Shouldn't be the termination inside the DIVA Server? Until now (with quadbri and other isdn card) I only used CAT5 cables with BRI-crossover PIN layout. No resistors.

This means all kind of B-channel data (human voice, modem, fax, data ...) can be handled in pass-through also with the V-4BRI card? >> - For the hardware part there are also 2 choices.

(like RTP support which is used with newer chan-capi-cm as > well). On the Eicon homepage I find to source packages: version 7.7 (they call ist stable) and version 8.0 (they call it beta). To which one of these do you refer with "v3"? Or is there another version somewhere hidden on the homepage? What is meant with "newer firmware"? Is there a new firmware available which must be flashed into the cards? Is the new v3 ready to use in production environment? thanks klaus _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
