John,
Thanks very much for the detailed response, that sounds pretty much like what i'm looking for (1x BT ISDN2e and 1x analogue). Are you using one of the Digium 4 port BRI cards, or what hardware are you using?
I'm using an AVM Fritz card with chan_capi. They're pretty cheap on eBay if you're suffering sticker shock... Of course, they're not as efficient as the active ones, but they're a lot cheaper and you already own the PC, I guess.
It would be my intention to use the ISDN primarily for incoming, and VoIP for outgoing to cut costs, and increase functionality. You mentioned your PSTN number is routed to you via IAX; can that number be included in local directories?
Hmmmm... Probably not. I'm using vioptalk.org's Prepay Silver which allocates a geographic number. But it's *voiptalk's* number as far as the network is concerned, so I've no idea how you'd get it into a directory. I chose this because, although the company is ex-directory, I want people to be able to phone back so I'll show the geographic number in outgoing CLI. Some providers allow you to specify your own CLI on outgoing SIP, if that's any use.
I don't think the analogue CLI should be a problem, since the ISDN should be taking most of the incoming calls. Does CLI work ok on the ISDN?
Oh, yes. Of course, it's not *quite* the same. Here's an example :
Analogue CLI : 01460 234068
ISDN CLI* : 441460234068
So if you want to call people back, you're going to have to play with extensions.conf...
* Yes, I *know* that's not what it's really called...
At this point i would intend to use only 1 ISDN card, so i'll cross the multiple card bridge when (and if) i come to it.
OK.
Drop me an email if you need any help (bearing in mind that paying clients get first dibs on my time!).
