(Is there another T1 flavour? I thought PRI was it :) BRI isn't T1 anymore) There are some parts of the world where you can't get partial PRI anymore, and there's an ugly unserved gap in between analog lines and a full PRI :( $650 minimum for a full PRI around here. You need 17 lines before that makes financial sense. -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --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
