asterisk users - Sep 2003 - ISDN BRI active adapters with NT mode - any alternatives ?

Having ISDN FXOs and a bunch of ISDN DECT base stations, I went looking
for a CAPI compatible active BRI adapter capable of NT mode. I have
found that the 'Eicon Diva Server 4BRI' fulfills theses requirements.
However, at EUR 1387 for four BRI interfaces, it does not come cheap.
Are there other users of similar hardware that can point me to
alternatives ?

Hi,

i dont think that the Eicon Diva Server 4BRI's NT mode feature will
work with linux/capi. I think the feature in the driver is for their
PRI cards (where everything is always P2P). i may be wrong, though.
We are working on an alternative, a passive multiport ISDN card that
supports TE and NT mode with zaptel drivers for asterisk.

regards

Hello,

Not sure if it will do what you want, but have you looked at the AVM C2
or C4 ISDN cards (www.avm.de)? They work under capi on linux from what I
have read and that is what my work is about to use as soon as we can
source them in Australia (supplier here has not responded so far).

One alternative I'm considering is a stand-alone multi-BRI-to-VoIP
box, like this VegaStream:
  http://www.vegastream.com/pdf/ISP%20Application%20Note.pdf

Or a similar Multitech:
  http://www.multitech.com/DOCUMENTS/DataSheets/2046.asp

That moves the ISDN channels straight onto Ethernet.  (I'm having no
end of trouble trying to get National-ISDN to work with I4L under
Linux here, so a dedicated box looks pretty attractive.)

this sounds very interesting. Are there any details available yet?
