Currently it is disconnected and I have a friend that wants acquire it and port it to my system. I have Googled and have found people that do this for a living, but surely there must be an easy way to find out without paying a couple hundred dollars. Sorry for this not really being Asterisk related, but there might be some telecom people on the list that might point me in the right direction.
