what are folks using for PRI gateways these days? Obviously there's lots
of folks using TE410s and related cards, which work well, and I know
reasonably well.
However, anyone using anything standalone that stands out as being
particularly stellar?
Anything that:
* takes a couple of PRIs or more (or, if it's not costly, I'm not
opposed to two of 'em)
* does a good job of echo cancellation (128ms? what's the standard now?)
* isn't horrendously expensive
* straightforward to configure
* doesn't leave you annoyed every time there's a problem
More looking for real world experiences rather than vendors trying to
sell, of course. Devices that you've plugged in, configured, and then
forgotten about (since they never give you trouble) are generally the
most sysadmin-friendly!

The installation has been in place for over a year. To (try to) answer your specific questions:> Anything that: > > * takes a couple of PRIs or more (or, if it's not costly, I'm not > opposed to two of 'em)Takes up to 4 PRIs.> * does a good job of echo cancellation (128ms? what's the standard > now?)Haven't faced any echo issues so far with up to 400 simultaneous calls on a single box, load balanced over multiple Redfone/PSTN gateways.> * isn't horrendously expensiveYou could get pricing from them.> * straightforward to configureFairly straightforward. The scripts supplied by Redfone work for a single device connected to a computer. We're connecting up to 6 devices (6 x 4 x 30 = 720 lines), and have made our own set of scripts to handle that.> * doesn't leave you annoyed every time there's a problemAs far as I know my client's blood pressure has remained stable over the non-Redfone <=> Redfone transition :) Regards, -- Raj -- Raj Mathur || raju at kandalaya.org || GPG: http://otheronepercent.blogspot.com || http://kandalaya.org || CC68 It is the mind that moves || http://schizoid.in || D17F

We've had really good feedback from users since they were released, and they certainly meet all of your needs listed above (and there are a few more, like T.38 FAX support on all channels). -- Kevin P.
