asterisk users - May 2006 - Quad BRI card

Hi all

Does Digium make a quad BRI card? I can't see anything of the sort on their 
page but I thought they might call it something else in the States.

Failing that, can anyone recommend a make/model that would handle 4 BRI ports?

They do, but it isn't released yet. Put B410P into google and you will get a
couple of hits. Digium's marketing page says it is available and the 
distributor I use had one on show the other day so they can't be too far 
away.

Many people seem to like the Eicon Diva cards.

Hi,
I am using some ISDN Phones with my Asterisk, there are some outbound 
routes to sip and to the telco, that make it necessary to dial >10 
numbers sometimes. But sometimes if you need some more time to look for 
the number the timeout in WaitForDigits is exceeded and it tries to dial 
the too short number. Is there a more advanced possibility, that somehow 
detects if the number exists or something?

btw. Can Asterisk recognize pulse dial tones?

Thanks,Chris

From what I understand the B410P  us intended for use OUTSIDE North 
America.  I contacted them a little over a month ago looking for a USA 
compatable card and was told that there isn't sufficient market for the 
hardware.  Oh well, so if you are in Europe or most other places you 
will have a Digium option soon enough.  Otherwise the Diva server cards 
are a good option (extensive, but come highly recomended from most that 
I hear).  Good luck and happy hunting.

What about the Gerdes Primux Cards. They can be used in NT and TE Mode.
Price ~ 670.- EURO
We have a 2S0 card running on a customer site with chan_capi-cm and all
looks good.
Have a look at http://www.primuxisdn.de

Perhaps it helps...

To legally connect any telephony hardware to the phone network in
Australia it has to be 'A-Tick' approved.

Last time I enquired, at least one distributor had obtained a
pre-release version of the card and was doing to A-Tick certification on
them, so yes they should be available in Australia at some point in the
near future.

Last time I checked with Telstra about 3 months ago, at 7 channels (eg
3.5 BRI services), a 10 channel E1 service (OnRamp10 from Telstra) is
cheaper than BRI in terms of monthly line rental (a fair bit more
expensive to install though). So if you actually need 4 ISDN ports / 8
lines to connect to the PSTN, then you are actually better off price
wise with an E1, assuming you can handle the installation cost. Also,
ISDN isn't available everywhere (rural locations), but I think that if
you want an E1 they pretty much have to do it for you although I don't
know how much of the cost they actually pass on to you.

One of the main uses I'd have for a Multi BRI adapter in Australia
though is for interfacing to legacy equipment, with an E1 facing the
PSTN. 4 ports is still more than I'd need though.
