asterisk users - Nov 2005 - Multiple HFC-PCI cards in mixed modes (TE+NT) won't work!...

I have seen several claims that it can be done: Multiple HFC-PCI cards
running both BRI_CPE_PTMP and BRI_NET_PTMP simultaneously, but *nobody*
has been able yet to tell me the exact setup to make it work...

My asterisk server breaks as soon as I turn one of the two cards in to an
NT card, which I suspect is an issue in the (Florz-patched) BriStuffed
chan_zap.so module, but as my cards aren't original Junghanns', they
obviously aren't supported by Junghanns...
(ZapHFC btw shows both cards active, one as TE Master, the other as NT
slave, so that seems to be OK! I therefore doubt it is the Florz patch!)

It's a pity, as I would have liked to install asterisk at 3 (low-budget)
locations (with a possibility of a few others to follow), but this flaw
disqualifies asterisk, as a Junghanns quad-bri card is too expensive...

Maybe it's worth a try, using chan_mISDN (experimental, but works!).. 
You can find the how-to pdf (for beronet, hfc, etc.. cards) on 
http://www.beronet.com/downloads/.

There also is an install-script that helps you through the installation, 
I have gotten it to work with a junghanns card and 1x HFC pci card. 
Didn't have a 2nd hfc around to try back then..

I you have results (good/bad) keep the list (or me) posted :)

Cheers.

And you're very scarse on details here. How about your zaptel.conf and
the relevant prts of your zapata.conf?

Also: if you want just one of the cards in NT mode and the other
in TE mode, how can you be sure which one os the first and which is the
second?

The mISDN and chan_misdn supports multiple HFC-PCI
cards in mixed modes. We are using this drivers in our
distribution (
