Hi Please check out this product sangoma.com/products/hardware_products/data_networking/a301.html Does it work on Asterisk or Freeswitch ? Do Telcos provide an E3 connection ? One of our customers had an inquiry for terminating 6000 calls simultaneously. I want to do some homework before taking it further with him. If I use E1 lines, I will need 6000 / 30 = 200 E1 lines, which does not look feasible ? Thanks for any input you may provide. regards, Anita Hall, Simmortel Voice. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is not channelised to work as a PSTN voice card. So, no, it doesn't work with Asterisk or Freeswitch - unless you are looking for IP connecion for VoIP. Sangoma used to talk about producing a channelised revision of the card, but it looks like the potential sales have never looked promising enough to make it happen. Digium used to have an E3/T3 card on their web site, but I assume they canned it. You don't hear anything about it now. Steve

Also, the card you reference is for clear channel data only, not voice. However, you may want to give Sangoma a call. They are top notch when it comes to custom solutions and have some of the brightest people on staff. In my research into T3/E3 connectivity, I've found it's generally best to go with some sort of a MUX that will take your T3/E3 and break it down into individual T1/E1 circuits. If I recall, Adtran makes a few nice units for this. --Tim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Here is a starting point: voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+dimensioning Not really what you need, but still.
