I am assuming you are in the USA, correct me if incorrect. You want to call your telco and see what the cost of a PRI (T1) is to replace those 10 lines. You have 10 analog lines should be at the point where it is about a break even, if not call a competitive carrier. You do not want to use a channel bank to convert analog to digitial, even if it could be done you are putting bandaids on a huge wound. You will get a lot of features with the PRI you can not get on analog, not to mention it will work, what you are talking about doing makes no sense from a practical standpoint. Do it right, get a PRI and a single PRI digium card (or another PRI terminating device like a T1 chabbel bank)/ _______________________________________________ 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
