Well, AT&T are trying to be as helpful as possible at the moment so who knows. We ordered a PRI from them... they delivered IP Flex. It took us the best part of a month of going backwards and forwards trying to understand why I couldn't send faxes properly before they actually admitted it wasn't a traditional PRI service. Of course, they will deliver a PRI service but it's wildly more expensive, can't choose another carrier because of the discount we get on corporate cell phones... blah blah blah.
Now I did purchase a Mediant 800 to plug the T1 into which is, as is my understanding, an SBC. I assume I'd be substantially better off using this than Karoo ? On the other hand, I do have a deep hatred of Audiocodes so if someone wants to tell me to try Karoo instead I'm just fine with that. Thanks for the help !

It however is not as robust as specialized products from Ingate, Acme Packet and the like. Additionally, some SIP trunk providers will only work with their certified products. So, leveraging the certifications of a big name SBC let's you get around this. So, the real questions, if AT&T will let you connect a SIP trunk directly to sipXecs are, will they route to 5080 udp, and does sipXbridge have all the settings that you'll need. I believe there's a template for them already in the system.

I guess I've never really understood correctly the role of an SBC. We're just going to have a Flex IP trunk straight into SipX (at least, hopefully). The AT&T pipe will have a 1.1.x.x address and SipX will also have an address on that network. It's a VM so I can just throw another vmNIC on it. Do I still need an SBC or can I just get AT&T to point all the SIP traffic from their end to port 5080 on my SipX ?

It's not on AT&T's "officially approved" list so they're reticent. I did see a post from Ranga about it working well but that was from a couple of years ago. Just hoping to make sure the situation is still the same.
