You just did Nah. > But can anyone contribute some practical knowledge of systems that take in > channel bank T1s or DS3s from "far away", and process the calls? Most of us are far too busy. These things are best learned the hardway. ============ Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. My Lucent 5010 Compact Switch with DS3 connections to 8 LATAs keeps me moderately busy but I still have time for Asterisk. I have learned everything the hard way. > I am looking for real world, been there, done that, or "check the 'Belchfire > Systems GigaFiber 65536' system". Its called Asterisk. =========== Thank you, and so you've been there and done that but don't want to help, just be cute? > Not to start the discussion, but "Is there a board that will take a DS3 (672 > channels) and a system that will handle the calls, or is that a silly > question?" There are many. The primary problem it getting a provider to provide you with a DS3. ========= Obviously I don't have that problem, and didn't ask for help with that. > Is there an IP box that would take the DS3 and then a system that would > handle the calls? My guess would be yes because the actual call load would > be far lower than 672 calls. Maybe 100-150 or so simultaneous. There are a few solutions here and several expensive chunks of hardware. Do you want to put all your eggs in one basket? =============== No, There are many eggs and can be many baskets. > Each line/call would have to have absolute caller ID. In other words, PSTN > call handling. That is between you and the provider. The technology exists on the wire. =================== Good, that is why I as asking for pointers. > Cary Gringo Malvado... ========== I know what "Gringo" means, and I suspected "malvado" but looked it up.
