Do you honestly think that out the very small percentage of Asterisk users that would adopt BRI would change the trend of BRI dying in the US. I don't even mention Asterisk when dealing with carrier and turn up issues because 9 times out of 10 they blame Asterisk, followed by, we don't support that setup. Asterisk is a mere blip on the PBX screen but it has shown up and is getting larger. As far as partial PRI, I have no problems ordering these circuits in the mid east. Some have data, some just have 6 voice channels turned up (that is the lowest number of channels I have been able to find). -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) _______________________________________________ -- 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
