asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Asterisk & ISDN-card

Hi!

If I install a CAPI-compatible ISDN-card in my server, will that:

a) enable me to connect that server to the public phone net
b) allow me to connect an ISDN phone to the server and use it as a SIP-phone
c) all of the above?



Regards,
   Evert

Only a) would work. b) (or c) for that sake) can only be archived with HFC-S
based passive ISDN cards at the moment and either zaphfc/qozap modules/channel
drivers or mISDN/chan_mISDN, when talking BRI.

Yes

No. An ISDN phone is always an ISDN phone.

But with the right card (and magic, e.g. proper termination) you can 
connect an ISDN phone to Asterisk.
