It is not such a dumb idea !! I am using The ericsson tigris platform for our few remaining PRI's for our dialup pools. We are currently hanging asterisk off these using drop & insert (both ways)... Now if we could actually get some code to get the voip working to/from asterisk we could do away the the PRI cards....
