Thanks for that Jon,

can anyone confirm whether Asterisk can pick up which MSN has been dialed and route the call depending on this - or does this functionality only work for DDIs. If I have to use DDIs can anyone recommend and active ISDN card which works with Asterisk and is readily available in the UK.


I'm sure that Asterisk will work with MSN's, just that I've never used them ;)


Check out www.telappliant.com - they sell a load of very cool stuff that works with Asterisk. I've used the AVM B1 cards, and the Eicon Diva cards - the Eicon's are slightly better in my opinion (nicer to work with/have hardware echo canceller) - problem is, Active ISDN cards aren't cheap :(

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm completely new to ISDN! ;-)

Me too :)

You NEED a BT ISDN2e connection - the Highway stuff is a waste of space, and prolly won't work with voice. Call them up (You'll need to be a business, they don't seem to sell anything other than Highway to home users) and ask for an ISDN2e circuit, and tell them you want a bunch of MSN's (Multiple Subscriber Numbers, I think) and they should be able to sort it out. MAKE SURE you deal with Business sales, not Residential Sales. Other than that, it should be fairly painless. I've not used * with MSN's, only DDI's, but for DDI's you need a) lots of money and b) a p2p mode ISDN line, which I believe requires an active (rather than passive, as the speedways are) ISDN card.

We tend to use active cards here at work, but I've used chan_capi with a BT speedway before, and it works just fine. I'm not sure that I have the configs laying about, but if you have any specific questions, feel free to fire them at me :)
