Hi all, I have asterisk installed and working just fine with a couple of Cisco IP Phones. I am now ready to pilot connectivity to PSTN and am wondering what hardware would be recommended to make minimum connectivity to the public telephone network. I am think ISDN as I would like a few external lines to be accessible. David A.

Well, a PRI-ISDN would give you 23/30 channels, so that'd certainly be plenty. Not exactly minimal, though. If you are talking BRI-ISDN, then you'd get 2 channels per BRI loop. The value and availablilty of BRI is very dependant on where you are in the world. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
