As already mentioned, you most likely don't need austel approved hardware, but, it isn't a bad idea to use austel approved hardware anyway in case you want to remove the PBX from the picture some time in the future. Definitely talk to the helpful people at ATP, in the meantime, I would suggest one of the following options, in this preference order (my personal preference), though it also depends on volume of calls. TE4xxp (quad PRI E1/T1 with austel approval on the 3.3V version) Fritz! card, or whatever it is called. (Single BRI with austel approval) TDM04B (Quad FXO port card, I think it is austel approved also) Failing the above, I would get some sort of sipura/cisco/grandstream ATA device. Regards, Adam PS, I have no connection with ATP except that they have helped me out more than they needed to a number of times so far. _______________________________________________ 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
