Ok I have searched the Archives and can't seem to find anything that would give me a hint on if it is possible or not. What I want to look at having a Small Home Office setup were I can use the 1 BRI for both DID and Internet at the same time. Is it possible to use something like a FRITZ! ISDN BRI card to have full time Internet on one of the B channels and have the other B channel for * for both incomming and outgoing calls? and even to be able to have 2 BRI's in the future and have them split between internet and external lines. Thanks for the advice in advance :) David
Probably be easiest to use something like an Eicon Diva T/A which breaks down a BRI to 2 pots or 1 data and 1 pots or a 128K data- you'd use the Diva as a bridge to the BRI. It'd sorta look like: PSTN---- | |----64K serial-----Your PC |Diva | | |----POTS----X100P---Asterisk ISP----- I have used Diva T/A's with success before in this config, although not with * - the POTS just terminated with a regular phone.

However chan_capi apparently cannot tell if a B channel is already in use by another application (that manages your dial-up). So that means you either need to have devices=1 (instead of 2) in /etc/asterisk/capi.conf to permanently assign one B channel for Internet dialup only, or you live with the fact that once in a while chan_capi will return a busy when you try to use two (outgoing) B channels while Internet traffic is on. Not sure how i4l works in this respect.> and even to be able to have 2 BRI's in the future and have them split > between internet and external lines.Should work, although stability *might* be an issue. There are even reports about 3 cards in one system. Philipp
