If they will do atm over oc-n, perhaps that would work better. Ie, a perm virt circ for SS7 and as-needed vc's for ulaw.
Atm oc-n cards with linux sw support are widely available, according to goog. libss7 and and ast *might* need a bit of patching to work with it, but it shoudn't take too much. Sip/rtp over private ptp ethernet is an option with at least some of the ILECs. They may call it virtual-pri or some such. Of course, if they are installing an actual sonet ring, and not just a spur, that can have built-in redundancy, depedning on physical routing. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
