Hi, folks! Sangoma has an informal user survey up on their home page (at http://www.sangoma.com) asking if people would use their A500 card for North American BRI, if it were supported.
I encourage anyone with an interest in voice BRI in North America to vote; this information will be used for deciding whether to make the investment in developing a National ISDN driver layer for it. Benefits to users of BRI include the vastly better call quality and call control signalling, without having to pay hundreds of dollars a month for a fractional T1. (Say goodbye to analog lines left open and the resulting busy signals!) For anyone who is curious: Sangoma is writing their own driver layer for this card, not using bristuff or woomera. In other words, if they decide to go ahead with it, this would be a new contribution to the marketplace, with the bonus of having Sangoma's solid drivers and excellent support behind it. Just having decent, affordable hardware will remove a big roadblock to going digital for sites with fewer than 10 channels. Full disclosure: I would like to see this happen, as I've got plans to move our own offices and some client offices to BRI. I encourage you to vote, as well as offer Sangoma your personal feedback, if you can spare the time. Cheers, -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
