Has anyone fed a Nortel BCM from Asterisk? I'm interested in switching our company over, but don't want to replace all the handsets in one fell swoop. I imagine some of the PRI cards can "emulate" a switch? I'd still like to pass CallerID into the Nortel, etc but all the external traffic would be VOIP, not TDM.

What that means to you is that any Asterisk-supporting T1/E1 card can operate in PRI mode and act as the network end as well as acting as CPE. Many people use Asterisk in exactly the fashion you are describing. -- Kevin P. Fleming Senior Software Engineer Digium, Inc.

Many examples of this on the voip-info wiki. -- Kevin P. Fleming Senior Software Engineer Digium, Inc.
Asterisk with Digium's single span PRI works just fine with BCM. Contact me off the list if you need details.
