Hello. Second question. Should I be asking this on the dev list (that's not the question by the way). Q. - there are several mentions on the list that asterisk :- "can interoperate with almost all standards-based telephony equipment" "interconnection with digital and analog telephony equipment" "visual message waiting indicator" etc. etc, That seems that digital phones are extensively supported. Surely though, even something as simple as "visual message waiting indicator" has a different code to activate it on a phone, depending on the manufacturer. -- It's no longer a question of staying healthy.

Asterisk has support for analog phones, and digital trunking via E1/T1 circuits. This allows you to interconnect to phone systems that might use digital phones. You can also use it via a channel bank to link large amounts of lines to asterisk. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
Guys.. I have a question, maybe it's a simple one, maybe not but its puzzling me.. Avaya, Nortel, etc. use digital phones (are they ADSI?) on their PBX's. How can Asterisk take advantage of these phones? For analog, you cn use FXS, but what do you use for this phones? How can you take advantage or current infraestructure without the need to replace all phones?
Hi Anton, http://www.abptech.com/mainpages/products/citelGateway.html Have a look at these guys. They do have a gateway for Avaya and Nortel and they say, it is certified with Asterisk. Francois Lambert COO Aheeva Technology Inc. Tel.?: 514-223-2581 #2200 Cel.?: 514-570-4797
