[Asterisk-Users] Can I use Asterisk for a modified Hoot and Holler?
Hello wonderful asterisk users list. I have some energy traders that are currently using 2 wire hoot-n-hollers (squawk box, always open direct line) to different trading floors throughout the country. Each box has one hoot-n-holler line. I would like to make these boxes IP based by connecting the 4 lines to a TDM400 with 4 fxo modules, providing SIP or IAX extensions for each hoot line and giving my clients a softclient on their desktop. Will it work? Is it reliable? Is it the best way? Thanks in advance for you Asterisk wisdom on this little problem of mine.

What is it you're trying to accomplish? Squawk Box--fxo---*--IAX2/SIP clients? or replace the 2 wire solution between the different locations with IAX2/SIP? The only thing I'd caution you about hear is as you're going back and forth between 2 wire and IAX2/SIP along with conferencing/meetme in a hoot/holler application be real careful that you've worked all the kinks out with echo cancelation. Some echo thrown back into conference, as you probably already know, could get real ugly real quick. On 4/18/05, Machen, Matthew T. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello wonderful asterisk users list.

Will it work? Is it reliable? Is it the best way? The probability of making that work with a TDM card is rather low. The primary reason is the TDM card (and drivers) are oriented around ringing come in, some action performed (eg, dialplan), and aswering the call. Hoot-n-holler circuits don't have those same functions. In most cases that I'm familiar with, the actual circuit used for these is four-wire (not 2-wire) and the TDM does not have a four-wire interface. Could someone modify the drivers to do that? High probability, but that isn't going to be an easy task for the uninitiated. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
