Hello.
It seems very very
strange to me that nobody talks about connecting ISDN lines to asterisk using a
device with RCAPI Support.
There are some
devices (most of them isdn routers, like the famous Cisco 800 family) that
support this protocol. It basically is an ISDN to IP gateway. There used to be
software that used this technology to send and receive faxes, act as voicemail
and even ISDN softphone.
RVS-Com is such an
example.
This allowed you to
have a single ISDN router shared between many computers running the
software.
Since the full ISDN
functionality was available thru IP, it seems logic that the conversion to
sip/IAX/whatever should be relatively simple (without having to deal with
hardware drivers, IRQ problem and weird cards...)
The current ISDN
support in Asterisk is still weak...
We need some
'disruptive' idea in the ISDN scene (and no, I don't think that RCAPI is *the*
thing to do it...)
