Hello, Has anyone tried "chan_misdn" in USA? Does anyone know "chan_misdn" support Lucent 5ess or US National ISDN-1 protocols? I live in North America and I want to connect my BRI Phones (Tone Commander and Lucent i2021) to the BRI Card in Asterisk. I was trying to use "bri-stuff" S/W but the S/W handles only European DSS1 protocol. Does anyone living in North America connect any "USA BRI Phones" to Asterisk successfully? Thanks Ken -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10

ISDN4Linux did not support 5ess or NI-1, beyond the HiSax driver, that at some point seems to have implemented support for NI-1. This is purely TE-mode though (connecting the ISDN card to a ISDN line). Also of course active cards, like the Eicon Diva Server ones do 5ess and NI-1. http://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/i4lfaq-27.html#ss27.6 explains some of the issues regarding US ISDN. mISDN is a complete reimplementation of the ISDN4Linux project, that implements CAPI etc., but no mention of NI-1 or 5ess. Also looking at the modules, i only find a "l3udss1" module, which tells me that mISDN probably only supports DSS1 (EuroISDN). This is looking at the CVS snapshot from 2004-09-24. You might be better of talking to the ISDN4Linux Team (especially Karsten Keil) to get this confirmed. Sl?n leat, Martin List-Petersen Dublin, Eire (contact info on --> http://www.marlow.dk/)
