I expect to fight this battle, yes. :-) > This actually depends on the kind of PRI service you have.

To be more clear, what I'm after is to have *someone else besides me* place calls out their PRI, and then TBCT those placed calls to my DN. By the time the calls get to me, they should just be standard phone calls. So I expect the call-placing-party to need TBCT, but not me. > I believe that only DMS100, NI2 and 5ESS PRI signalling protocals are > capable of TBCT with the current zaptel code-base.

And I'm probably not concerned with whether Asterisk can deal with TBCT, because Asterisk probably won't be involved at that stage; just once the call's transferred to me. But before I inquire of said second party whether they *can* do that, I wanted to confirm it was possible. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
