Over here we can as well, but that requires cancelling the line it is on. That would mean we'd also lose the ADSL, and that would mean paying a penalty, paying connect fees all over again and then restart the entire provisioning circus all over again...

I have a PII-450 at home with 2 HFC-PCI cards (1 TE, 1 NT) with a few ISDN-DECT phones and a few IAX phones, which runs great. The only drawback is that starting AGI scripts takes a bit, so in and out bound calls take a bit longer to connect (10-20 seconds...) What I *also* would like to know is whether there's tools that people think would be better suited for this... IMHO a simple (*) box is the cheapest solution available, but I am always interested in novel ideas... ;-) -- F Peeters PII 450 - 1 GB - * 1.2 - BRIstuff 0.3.0 Pre 1 - Florz patch 2 Sweex HFC-PCI modes=2 sync_slave=2 timer_card=0 Cologne HFC-S pins #52, #54, #55 connected in parallel for synching.

[Asterisk-Users] 1 ISDN BRI to IAX2/SIP... (*) best tool or?...
I have a question, I have to provide a solution for an office that will be almost abandoned, and there will be one or sometimes two persons 2 days a week. The main number however should be preserved. They have several ISDN BRI connections, most of which will be dropped. Only one will be retained, for 2 reasons: 1) It has the ADSL link 2) The number has been the main contact number for over 20 years. What we are looking for is to put a single SIP phone in the office, and have it connect back to an (*) server in the central office, where all other servers are located as well. In the remote office a single machine should be placed to terminate the BRI connection and relay it to the (*) server in the central office. That way the old number can be retained and an active phone can pick up the line as necessary. The preferred protocol to use would be IAX2, obviously. My question is whether there are any tools better suited for this than an old banger (AMD 800 MHz) PC with a HFC-PCI card and (*) relaying (switch) the incoming calls to the central box. (No intelligence there, no AGI scripts, just encode and transmit. Also no phones would need to be logged in to that machine, and outbound calling would only take place in very rare cases when the lines *and* VOIP connections at the central site are all congested...)
