RE: [Asterisk-Users] OZ ISDN
I have installed and used the Fritz!Card with Telstra's ISDN OnRamp2. The configuration under capi was quite easy and the setup worked great. I would recommend the Fritz over analog.

Dunno if call deflection even works here, haven't actually got around to trying it yet. * It won't be as reliable (speculation). Well, as with any comparison between analogue/digital, the digital is definitely preferred. You *know* when the other side answers/hangs up/etc. This gives you accurate cdr (billing) information as well as call progress. Stops you from causing the line to be busy long after the other party has hung up. etc... * It'll probably cost just as much for two analogue cards as a fritz card. Probably, I'm not sure, but the frustration factor might in the long run... On the positive side you won't have to go through a lot of frustration getting the fritz working. Dunno about this, I got a fritz card about 2 weeks ago for a customer's pbx. Plugged the card in, followed the instructions available on the wiki, and basically it just worked. Perhaps if I knew less about linux, it might have been harder, but from memory, I didn't do anything specially fancy... If I was doing this for myself, at home, I would definitely use the fritz card. Also, AFAIK, there are no aca approved (old austel tick) fxo cards. In either case, I would suggest you discuss your options with the folks at www.atp.org.au, I've found them to be quite helpful, and definitely quite knowledgeable Regards, Adam ___ 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

So if you went the ISDN route, then they would most likely be able to assist you if you got into trouble. The above people seem to offer the same.

In Australia, Telstra, the local telco provides isdn modem for isdn connection. The modem has 2 analogue telephone jacks and a serial port for connection to dialup internet. My question is that will it be possible to use Zaptel TDM02B to connect to the analogue jack instead of getting a fritz card to do the telephony. Will there be less feature if doing so? -- David Kwok, CISSP Tel: 612 82315701 ext 1002 Iaxtel/FWD # 17001813482 ext 1002 CISSP, Certified Information System Security Professional smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

RE: [Asterisk-Users] OZ ISDN
You can connect to the internet via CAPI and even have it dynamically add/drop channels as calls are setup/pulled down by other applications. As for how to do it I have no idea because I have no need for that type of setup. It's not that hard to install and configure the card with capi. It's more that you may run into difficulties and trying to find the info required to fix them is a task. I'm pretty sure everything you need can be achieved through purely CAPI interfaces. There's a lot of info out there if you search for fritz capi ppp on google. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of dkwok Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 1:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] OZ ISDN Kimble Young wrote: If you go the analogue route: * You'll get poor audio compared to ISDN which is crystal. * Each number will act like a seperate line unlike with an ISDN card where you can receive two calls simultaneously on the same line. * You'll lose cool ISDN features like call deflection. * It won't be as reliable (speculation). * It'll probably cost just as much for two analogue cards as a fritz card.
