Hi all, general query here --- I'm about to set up an asterisk box for use in Japan but can't figureout if it's all ISDN there or what? I have gathered so far that the two major providers, NTT and KVH both offer ISDN lines with .......INS1500 and maybe INS64 protocols? Not sure... But I'm seeing stuff about J1 vs. T1/E1 .... so does that mean I can't use a Digium card it there? Can someone please clarify what sort of system I'm looking at here and if I need a japanese retailer for the card or what ;-) Thanks! -- Chris Earle System Solutions Specialist -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Together with chan-capi it is fully functional with Asterisk/OpenPBX. Armin
J1 is just a T1, the J2 is also very common and likely what you would see. J2 = 48B+D if I remember correctly.

Armin, Why not use OCN etc and connect directly to their sip server? If you use OCN .office you can get multiple lines and multiple numbers...The quality is great. Jason
