You don't need T1 or E1 extra in the Asterisk machine, only one ethernet card. -- Paco Brufal <pbrufal@servitux.es> ServiTux Servicios Inform?ticos S.L. Tel. 966 160 600 / Fax. 966 160 601

It depends on the actual given environment, but you could also think about using Linksys' PAP2 adapter! mike wrote:> Dear list > which hardware solution would you suggest for connecting 60 analog > phones to asterisk ? > > thank you very much > .mike > > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
I would think channel banks -> T1s -> TDM card in asterisk server would work better than a bazillion ata adapaters Bill -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Thomas Artner Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 8:53 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] 64 analog phones It depends on the actual given environment, but you could also think about using Linksys' PAP2 adapter! mike wrote:> Dear list > which hardware solution would you suggest for connecting 60 analog > phones to asterisk ? > > thank you very much > .mike > > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users_______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

>Were those people -- who, unlike me, had done it and had problems -- wrong?There are more variables than the Digium card itself. Things like bus design, chipset etc all come into play. I've noticed that there is a concerted effort with Asterisk implmentors to often roll out Asterisk in a white box clone with a $129 integrated motherboard in an effort to drive down the cost which (IMO) is foolish. Why would you (not you, but people) spec a DL380G4 for a database server then turn around and use an ECS brand motherboard for a telephony platform - a platform which by definition requires sub-millisecond response time? Tier 1 boxes are *designed* for this type of application and are engineered to conform to spec + safety margin, wheras Taiwan clone boards are usually designed to roughly confirm to spec, and that's all (notable exception: I have used ASUS motherboards for Asterisk installs, and they all work flawlessly) I've said it many times before on the list: It's trivial to make a crappy Asterisk install. Anyone can do it. It's really, really, hard to make a *good* Asterisk install. You need cross-discipline experience, a lot of which is hard to come by in the closed, secretive telephony world. Tip o' the hat to SHSU. I wouldn't touch *that* install with a space tether.
