Hi,
Get yourself a 'Fritz!Card PCI' - also marketed by BT themselves as a 'BT Speedway ISDN' adapter - these seem to be the most cheap and supported of low-end ISDN2 adapters
Will do - they seem pretty inexpensive (even for the BT Speedway card is only about �35). From doing a bit of poking, SuSE 9.1 seems to be the latest OS for which drivers are available. Is anyone using one of these cards successfully, and if so, on SuSE?
One more question (and probably a pretty basic one, but i'm not that familiar with PSTNs) - will i need two of these cards in order to use both channels?
Looking forward to getting this going now, and much more confident, thanks for your support!
Henry, hi;
I'm running a small Asterisk PABX under SuSE 9.1. I have one analogue (PSTN) line, a single ISDN2e connection (i.e. 2 channels - one adaptor card) and a London PSTN number which gets routed to me via IAX, and I support 2 internal SIP phones and 4 internal analogue handsets. DID and whatever CLID is called in ISDN work fine. CLI on the analogue line is a nightmare because the Digium hardware doesn't support BT's CLI, so I have a modem picking that up and inserting it into Asterisk with (so far) variable results. Outgoing calls go either via the landlines, or via the Docklands-terminated IAX channel.
All works pretty well - looks like just the sort of solution your client may need. Do be aware that supporting multiple ISDN2e cards might problematic. Not impossible, but problematic...
