 Asterisk (as of version 1.6.0 or greater) has native support for SS7
 with DAHDI interface cards in chan_dahdi.  I obviously have used it with
 quite a few Digium cards that have worked well.

Matthew,
So 1.6.0 or newer, with a Digium card should talk T1/SS7 no problem?
That's great news!  I have a Nortel DMS100 that we have configured for
DS1/SS7 and we were trying to figure out how to connect an Asterisk
PBX to it.

That is correct.  Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any 
issues come up along the way.  The sample chan_dahdi.conf has a section 
with an example of an SS7 setup in it, for reference on configuration.

Oh yeah, and also, there's an asterisk-ss7 mailing list at 
lists.digium.com where SS7 related discussion and questions usually take 
place.

Thanks - Last time I looked into this (back in the 1.2 days, things
were still under extensive development)

[asterisk-users] GSM and SS7 Questions

2010-11-17 Thread Matt
I have two questions for the group.

#1 - I'm looking to use some GSM SIM cards with my Asterisk PBX.   Can
anyone recommend a gateway?  I need about 10-15 SIM slots.

#2 - I'm also looking to connect Asterisk to an SS7 signaled DS1 (24
channels) for inbound and outbound voice calls.  Can anyone offer any
suggestions for cards to use there?

Sangoma has both - the card and the software.  I think you have to 
dedicate a box to SS7 though...
