Its been a few days, I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas on how to get this to work?
If not, could I ask a the direct question as to if anyone here has (or knows someone who has) successfully got something like a Cisco Router to successfully establish an ISDN data/Internet connection through the Asterisk PBX? >From a telephony perspective it must be possible as our existing Nortel PBX >does it, just don't know if Asterisk can. I feel that I've spent too much time that could have been better spend on this and am now at the point where I think the boss should just cough up and get a couple of ISDN BRI lines put in. Thanks again for everyones input so far.
