asterisk users - Aug 2005 - OT: Are you using a Lucent?

Is anyone out there using Lucent brand equipment to handle an incomming 
DS3, converting all 672 calls to SIP (as G729) and sending those to 
Asterisk/SER over ethernet?

If you are and are willing to speak to my boss about your experiences 
(over the phone) with it, please contact me off list.

We have a possible contract with a local CLEC to handle their long 
distance, and they want to send to us using DS3 and SS7.

I'm trying to convince my boss to use a $9K Lucent, but he wants to 
spend much more by breaking out the DS3 into DS1's and stack up 6 
asterisk boxes with 1 4-port card in each.

Again, if you are using Lucent and are willing to speak to my boss about 
your experiences, please contact me off list so I can setup a call.

Thanks,
Matthew

Hi Mathew,

We are interested in doing this too, is it possible you can share the 
information with us?

We are looking at using a TNT MAX to terminate 8 E1's from the Telco, 
but we need a way of receiving the SS7 signalling and passing it to the 
TNT's via IPDC or whatever.

Regards,



Andy
