I agree w/ Michael...if you've got 14 one-way Trunk Lines, you should be able to get a PRI for the same cost they are paying for the 14 Trunk lines, and then you will get 23 in/out lines and DID and all the other bells and whistles for those lines.
It will also save you the cost of a Channelbank since you'll be able to plug it directly into your * box. 8-) Tim Thompson Commercial Sales Engineer http://www.amatechtel.com (806) 722-2227 -----Original Message----- From: Jared Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 10:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] DID Trunk Lines and Caller ID On Mon, 2004-01-05 at 09:04, Steven Critchfield wrote: > On Mon, 2004-01-05 at 09:28, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I have an installation which is currenly using 14 DID Trunk Lines.

Some long distance providers provide the information on the channel, usually as *DNIS*ANI* or *ANI*DNIS*... I currently get something like *16665551212*17775551213*. It's not as slick as PRI, but it's often a lot less expensive.
