Paulo,
He is mentioning E1/PRI, so I assume the well known "collect call on E1/R2 thingie" doesn't apply to him.

Julio,

I have 1 E1 from telefonica and 1 from Embratel. Telefonica has a better deal for incoming calls (gave us more DIDs) but Embratel has better rates. I've had a real hard time trying to make E1/PRI signaling work with Embratel, with no success. In the end, I had to use MFC/5C. Telefonica and Embratel will not block collect calls for you, they dont care, its easy money.

May be he is linking to a smaller and more flexible telco, or may be he will put the * box behind another PBX that has better support for MFC/5C than libmfcr2. I'm just curious anyway.

The automated collect call system in Brazil is really dumb and unfair, and is abused so many ways... I want to beat the crap out of the genius who invented this system where the callee does not have to explicitly accept a collect call.

Anatel (the telco government agency in Brazil) dont even acknowledge this as problem, because they will not accept complaints against Anatel regulations, just against the telcos, and the telcos are following this dumb rules to the letter. Its because regulatory agencies in Brazil are here not to protect the citizens, just to extort money from private companies to burn in our corrupt political engine.

Sorry for the rant, but I would like to hear from other people running * in Brazil, how they address this trouble.
