I have a client that has 4 analog DID trunks which are wink start lines and are the incoming lines. Each trunk line has 20 DIDs assigned. We are in the process of migrating them off their current system to Asterisk. We need a way to get these DID trunks into Asterisk so we get the DID information to route the calls. While the DID setup self is not the issue. The issue is I am looking for an inexpensive way to get these trunks directly into the Asterisk box. Since they are analog DID we need to supply the voltage to the CO. I have looked at using something like a BrookTrout card but these are costly. Also looked using something like the DID-200 to convert the DID trunk to loop-start again these have a high cost. I also considered having the client order and switch to PRI and all the advantages this brings however I think this might be overkill for this client. Not sure of the month costs with this I was thinking depending on the term this may run about $500 per month. I also thought about BRI but searching Google and such first it looks like you can't do DID over BRI. So I guess my question is based on the above have I missed something and is there any inexpesive way to bring these DID trunks right into Asterisk keeping the current analog DID trunks? If so what hardware is required? Cheers Joe
Hi Joe, In hardware terms a TDM400P does what you need. I don't know if anyone has implemented the software support for using it in this way, though.

hello, You can do DND over BRI !
