asterisk users - Sep 2005 - What ISDN hardware would you recommend?

Trying again...

*Summary:*
I need to have 2 machines with 4 BRI connections, 2 in NT mode, 2 in TE
mode and 1 machines with 2 BRI connections, 1 in NT mode, 1 in TE mode;
What card(s) should I put in to these servers?

*The long story:*
I have 3 locations I want to connect using (*) servers.

1 of those has a single BRI with a Siemens DECT PABX.
1 of those has two BRI's with 2 Siemens DECT PABX's, each serving a
different area.
1 of those has two BRI's and a 2 port Nova Compact PABX with DECT

First step would be to set up the (*) servers and have them
interconnected. When all of that works we'd go on to connect them to the
ISDN and connect the existing PABX's to the servers so we can - for now -
maintain the existing environment but use (*) to route traffic on a least
cost basis, as well as allow SIP/IAX connections from out of office
locations.

The machines themselves will not pose much of a problem, but what ISDN
hardware would you recommend for this? (1 site with 1 TE and 1 NT mode
port, 2 sites with 2 TE and 2 NT mode ports)

TIA!

I cannot compare with other cards, but I recommend the Eicon DIVA Server 
Cards (like 4BRI). I only use them and they work very good.

Armin

Quad or octo-bri from www.junghanns.net

  We use a few of these and they are not cheap but they work without any
  hassle.
