I had converations with both Pika and Xorcom wherein the thought that it should be possible using their interface hardware. There might be some software changes to be made in their drivers, but BRI should be usable in the US.
I abandoned the idea for being more expensive when all costs are considered. Michael --Original Message Text--- From: Steve Totaro Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:37:37 -0400 I have done this. Why BRIs exist in the US is beyond me. If you can, don't go with BRI. Who is the carrier. There is someone on the list that will tell you it is impossible unless you use his code, which is not true.

More specifically a BRI 2B+D circuit where one SPID is used for the business and the other is used for personal. The circuit already exists, but is presently being interfaced to POTS phones via a TA. This configuration is not very common in the US, but we are fortunate that our LEC offers it price competitively with equivalent POTS services and it makes more sense, both in terms of voice quality (4 wire digital to the PABX) and flexibility. Ideally it would allow any combination of two calls, identified by SPID. If anyone has done anything similar, or has any experience with BRI ISDN, I would appreciate input and direction. If anyone knows where documentation exists on configuring ISDN, that information would also be greatly appreciated. Asterisk has a bit of a learning curve, and ISDN BRI isn't the most widely used or covered aspect of it. BTW, I have a strong telecom background, so the theory part of it will not be a problem, only the necessary documentation to apply it to Asterisk.
