OK, I asked this about a week back and met with no repsonse at all. But perhaps its worth trying again. Does anyone on-list have * running BRI to their local telco? I'm considering this as an alternative to my TDM400p card.

Not sure if this is a helpful answer, but we have looked and haven't come across anything yet for the US.

I'm seriously considering running them into a Cisco 26XX with a ISDN VIC BRI card and seeing if that works. This one bit of the puzzle is the big thing stopping us from going to a VoIP solution, which I'd really like to do. I've even tried things like hooking up a Sipura 3000 to the POTS ports on a Netgear RT338, but that doesn't work reliably, since the Sipura seems to have some trouble detecting line state properly (probably the Netgear's *fault*, but it works fine with our analog phones). ...

BRI in the US is a pain to deal with: their is no number portability into BRI services (at least in Qwest territory, you can port numbers out, though), setting up hunting and other advanced features on the telco side is difficult because they have so few people who understand it... It could be a useful alternative to analog lines/cards (and maybe even cheaper), but you're putting yourself in a position of using a product that the telcos really don't want to sell any longer and have difficulty supporting well. If it works for you then it will be a very good thing, but if it doesn't then you'll have a hard time getting it fixed.

As I recall, I could receive incoming calls but could never make outgoing calls. Had to do with SPID (service provisioning id?) was/is not supported in the software.
