All, I know you can use, say, a 2620 w/2 port FXO card as a SIP gateway. Clearly you can use the 5300, 5800, and MGX8850 too. Does anyone know which cards, if any, exist for a 7206VXR to act in a similar capacity, either as a T1/PRI, DS3, or POTS FXO/FXS? What other Cisco routers can act as SIP gateways today?

Also, don't limit yourself to Cisco. There are many vendors out there that make SIP trunking gateways... ----- Original Message ----- From: "David C.

There are VoIP NM cards for those platforms, though they are NOT cheap, even on the used market. You'd be much better served from an economic standpoint by getting a slew of el-cheapo rackmount PC's and using Digium cards. Even if the failure rate is higher (which, in my experience, is not the case,) you can do failover quite easily (easier?) using IAX2 to your edge devices. Plus, in my opinion, the Ciscos are lacking many features that Asterisk provides as a gateway device. ("Can you compile your own software on your Cisco?" and many others which are obvious and on which I will not elaborate.) Cards: NM-1v or NM-2v for POTS NM-HDV-1T1-12 - 1 port, 12 channels NM-HDV-[1,2]T1-[24,48] - 2 ports, 24 or 48 channels There are equivalent E1 cards, change the numbers to match (30 or 60 ports) JT
