Well, I'm not sure where you are going in Central America, but I'm sure that A: you know that SIP has a lesser probability of working in CA, and B: the telcos are quite vicious on any bypass termination.
IAX2 allows you to operate much more covertly (apart from all its other benefits). So, you should probably weigh that into your decision, assuming you don't have a telco license in your target country (or having explicit help from someone who does). -Michael -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Welter Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 9:59 AM To: asterisk-biz@lists.digium.com; asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-biz] Need Advice I need to place a SIP FXO gateway in Central America. I've been looking at Quintum products, but the prices are about $150/FXO port. I have a Dell SC400 on the shelf, and I'm considering just installing Asterisk and two TDM04B cards and shipping it down. Does anyone have multiple TDM cards in the SC400? FXO ports on a TDM card are about $75/FXO port. With the Dell, there will be the advantage of trunked IAX (we're paying for bandwidth on both ends). Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something. The mains are 110V. What about answer and disconnect supervision (I'm assuming there isn't any on the FXO circuits). Is there some other way to do this for around $500?
