RE: [Asterisk-Users] A bit of a survey: What do do if you need more than 4 C.O. lines

2005-02-21 Thread David Cook
I corresponded with Voicetronix around Christmas last year. Jim, there
is a dealer in Ottawa although I got better answers from emails to Aus.

There are two things that they don't do that the Zap cards do:
Distinctive Ring Detection and fax detection.

They went out of their way to say they were customer driven and
features get in because customers ask. The gentleman made a claim of
effort to get fax detection to work which sounded like it was a
no-brainer in their code. If it is easy as claimed, I would expect to
see it appear just because I enquired.

I am particularly interested in the Dist Ring Detection however for they
make cheap DID's for low volume like home offices, dedicated voicemail
numbers, etc.

  I haven't followed this thread closely but have you looked into
 the
  Voicetronix OpenSwitch cards?
 
  http://www.voicetronix.com.au/hda.htm
 
 
  I've looked at them, but never heard much about them. Is anyone
 using
  them? Can anyone give a comparison vs. the TDM400?
 
  I'm using a Voicetronix OpenLine4, and it works well under
 asterisk.
  Initially I had some echo problems, but Voicetronix support
  is excellent and
  solved them (I've just updated the wiki with the bal# values
  they gave me).
 
  I can't compare it to the TDM400, not having used one, but
  you can use
  multiple Voicetronix OpenSwitch 6 and 12 cards in one system
  without the
  interrupt problem of the TDM400.

 That sounds like the ticket, then.

Digium tech support recommends going with a t1 card and a
channel bank.  This is by far the simplest, cheapest and cleanest
solution that I know of.

 Folks,

 In light of all the troubles people report when running more than one
 TDM400 card in a system, I wouldn't mind hearing what your solution of
 choice would be when having to connect 5 or more analog telco circuits
 to an Asterisk.

 I'll try and compile the answers together and get them into the Wiki, as
 I figure this could be useful knowledge for the community.

 TIA,

 Jim.

The wiki is great, but this type of question is probably appropriate
for the FAQ section at the Asterisk Documentation Project website as
well :)

Oh, and I *know* you have access to adding FAQ stuff there now, so FAQ away! :D
