I've not implemented any form of channel bank with *, so can't offer much help on specific vendor/models. Since there are a fair number of folks using them on the list, try posting a new thread with channel bank in the subject, and summarize the responses in the wiki. Personal opinion is that throwing a channel bank at * (other then for better echo cancellation on trunks) is like taking a shower with your socks on; don't see any practical use. But, I'm sure some do. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
