I have a new client who is about to order an Integrated PRI T1--eight voice channels and the remainder data. He's not sure whether Qwest will provide a router to split the voice and data. I remember we had a lot of trouble with HDLC in Linux kernels past 2.4.19. Have those problems been fixed in the 2.6 kernel? Will I be able to split the voice and data channels using zaptel?

I haven't tried it with an integrated voice/data T1, but it was a straight forward install and config per instructions for regular voice PRI. Works like a champ. Mike Clark
