asterisk users - Sep 2006 - mISDN versus ZapHFC with BRIstuff

Hi

Right now I'm running Asterisk with ZapHFC BRIstuff and it work, but
with some MSN addressing problems on the ISDN bus. I've had no success
solving the problem. Problem is making 3 MSNs ring on one B-channel.

I thought of trying mISDN instead.
Do I still need zaptel and libpri when using mISDN, or can I skip them
totally?
I thought maybe I needed zaptel for timing purposes?

I haven't tried MISDN yet, the installation looks much more complicated 
than bristuff but to answer your first problem...


Are you sure that your telco is passing calls on all 3 MSN's? Bristuff 
doesn't decide which MSN rings on which B channel.  It just detects and 
handles accordingly.

If you never see a call coming in on the console for that MSN I would 
check with your telco first. Increase the verbosity of asterisk to find 
our what is going on.
