Hmmm,

        You are going to price yourself out of the market if you go with
hot swap.

        If I understand you correctly that is.

        Your "residential" gateway sits in a home and connects to the
internet to do VoIP calls for the owner.

        What is your cost for this gateway? Doing hot swap is going to
add, let's say, $500 to the cost.

        If the system goes down because of the hot swap card who is
going to replace it? 
        The customer? Well if the machine is down then a reboot isn't
that big a deal vs. the extra cost.

        A service tech? Well if the machine is down then a reboot isn't
that big a deal vs. the extra cost.

        Besides you would have to have a spare card at the customer's
house. So every house has to have more expense and costs.

        Sorry if my assumption is wrong. I went through a similar
exercise once.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] asterisk compatible, hot swappable PRI card 

Hi

We are in a project where we will use asterisk as a residential gateway
for 
IP phone service.

We are aiming to replace the primary phone line so the service must be
up 
as long as possible so we are looking at ways to avoid shut downs.

We are looking for a solution to allow us to add/remove PRI cards
without 
shutting down the system

Is there such a thing as an asterisk compatible hot-swappable PRI card
and 
board ?

Someone told me to look at the C-PCI technology, it seems that telecom 
company use this.

Thanks

Patrick
