Hi, This is not strictly an asterisk questions, but... ive got a client with an old digital pbx phone systems connected to an isdn30e line. I've been shown a sip gateway that can connect to asterisk on one side, and also has an ISDN30e socket that the old phone system can connect to. But it's a bit pricey. Is there such a thing as an ISDN30e PCI card which can be used with a copy of Asterisk, that can act like a voip gateway between the old phone system, and our asterisk box? Or can anyone recommend a gateway that isn't too expensive? They use 8 channels of the isdn30e Many thanks Dan Dan Journo Kesher Communications (UK) Business Phone Systems<http://www.keshercommunications.com/> | Hosted PBX<http://www.keshercommunications.com/hostedpbx.html> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You should be able to route calls from anywhere (LAN, ISDN30, PABX, internet) to anywhere else, with the right dialplan. -- AJS Answers come *after* questions.
What type of phone system? And what type of connectivity are you trying to give the old pbx?

TE200 series. I use them like this to connect to old ISDN PBX. There's no need for an extra box in the middle, just put the ISDN PCI card directly into your Asterisk system. cheers, Paul.
