asterisk users - Aug 2006 - ISDN BRI, and Trixbox

Hi,

I have 2 Billion BRI ISDN cards, and intend to set up a Trixbox
server.  I currently have a Asterisk 1.0 server which has been running
for a couple of years using Billion BRI cards and Junghanns BRIstuff.

Trixbox, if it works, seems to offer various useful UI elements, and
one "easy" standardised install.  Or would I be better off not using
Trixbox?  Astbill perhaps?

Does anyone have experience of setting up BRI in a Trixbox
environment?  I'll report on a good method for the record when I find
one.

Thanks,


Nigel.

I don't have experience with Trixbox but know that several people have
tried to make mISDN work and failed. The alternative for now is to use
vISDN which (sort of) works. Search the Trixbox forum as it has a well
documented report of these attempts (author Rehan iirc).
