It definitely works, but there are some issues that someone who has done it may be able to discuss. Otherwise, search the mailing list using google: bri card site:lists.digium.com 2.6 kernel site:lists.digium.com and any other search expressions you can think of. Do the same without the site: parameter too, replacing it with "asterisk". googling asterisk bri card brings up a lot of interesting stuff as does "asterisk 2.6" hth _______________________________________________ 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
