Hello everybody! I'm looking into implementing an * solution and I'm expecting to require 4 incoming FXO lines. Based on my reading of the mailing list archives and what I read on the Digium web site, I don't think that this can be achieved with X100P cards as it doesn't seem to be practical to have more than 3 X100P cards at the time (IRQs is the main problem I think). At four FXO ports, I can't quite justify something like a full T1 on a monthly basis. But, since I've never ordered one, I'm thinking that it's a "all or nothing" deal (i.e.: I can't order a T1 and pay for only 4 voice channels). It would seem that the best I can do is a 3x8 configuration according to the information on this page http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=wildcard_tdm400p
I know that ISDN never caught on in the USA, but here (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada), it is an option which is less expensive than Centrex lines or regular single business lines. Unfortunately, Digium doesn't sell ISDN cards, so I'm left to explore the options on my own. The WIKI page talking about ISDN (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-zaptelBRI) has a definite European feel to it as most, if not all, the cards mentioned are German. I find that Digium has a bit of a hole in their product line. They provide the required hardware if you need 1-3 FXO lines or if you need 1-4 T1 ports, but nothing in between, which ISDN would fill nicely. They do have a 4 port FXS card. Now all they need is a 4 port FXO card. Better yet, a 4 port ISDN card which would support up to 8 simultaneous calls. One option that I found seems to be an Eicon card, such as the Diva Server 4BRI (http://www.eicon.com/us/products/MediaGateways/DIVA_4BRI_8M.htm). Anybody has any experience with that type of card? Will * support it? It says that it supports Linux: TTY, CAPI 2.0 Application Interface.
