asterisk users - Nov 2003 - MGCP - Repost

I did not get any answers to my earlier posting. I hope I have better luck this
time- The question: Is it possible to use Asterisk as media gateway controller?
I know * supports MGCP, but does that also imply that I can use * to control any
third party media gateway (such as one providing media conversion from E1 to
AAL2). - DL

If you mean to use MGCP clients and an E1/PRI to the telco with asterisk
as the 'origo', that's what I do, so yes.

To be more accurate: Can I use asterisk as a Call Agent/Media Gateway Controller
for a third party Media Gateway?  E.g. if I have


PABX (not *)---[ Some 3-party Media Gateway ] -- AAL2 -->to somewhere

Can I use Asterisk to "manage" the 3-party Media Gateway using MGCP ?
In other
words:


PABX (not *) --[some 3party Media gateway]---AAL2---->somewhere
                           |
                           |
                          MGCP
                           |
                           |
                        ASTERISK (Call agent/MG Controller)

Is this possible ? thanks - DL
