Can't you leave the picking up of the cli to the isdn line? Even if it is an ISDN1 (just a B-channel and a D-channel), the chances of tranferring channel info, like CLI, is better. I would leave the pots-interfaces for the people stuck with an ordinary phone (or fax).. Did you consider sipura 3102? Easier to scale than analogue cards. And perhaps easier to deploy, no spof,.. hw _______________________________________________ -- 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
