My company thought about that once. Are only concern was stability at
that point. While I rarely have any concerns over asterisk stability
anymore, you need to be at that comfort level.  

Remember in that configuration you have listed, any failure of the
asterisk box is going to effect the old pbx. If your users are not
prepared for the interruptions and have expectations set about usage,
then you may end up with upset users. 

You should feel comfortable fixing asterisk config problems in a crunch.
If you are down because a config problem in the middle of the work day,
do you feel you can get it back together quickly?

Once you have the above 3 items down, then you do want to do what you
suggested above.

Hi All,

I have a PBX on a PRI ISDN30 line on a particular project. I would like
to migrate to *.

Just as I can currently go between an analogue line and handset using
Line -> X100 -> * -> TDM -> handset so I can create a transparent
migration, I would like to do this with PRI.

Example: PRI -> E100P -> * -> E100P -> OLD_PBX is what I would like
to
achieve. Can this be done?

Many thanks,
Stuart.

Many thanks for this.

This is more proof of concept than mission critical. I will need to
pinch some channels and send them to SIP phones etc.

Am I correct in assuming that the hardware I suggested will do exactly
this, or even a E410 so I could connect a couple of PBXs in my workshop
for configuration and testing?

Best regards,

Stuart.
