I have a Siemens Gigaset 4030 DECT station at home. It is an ISDN deskphone with built-in DECT access point. I have finally got 2 HFC-PCI cards running simultaneously in TE and NT mode, and will be connecting the 4030 to the NT mode HFC-PCI card soon. (I'd like to do it today, but my MIL has 'invited' us for ST.Nicholas (Dutch fest, usually on 5 Dec, with lots of children's gifts, similar to Xmas Eve in USA) today!) As soon as I have some test-experience with the setup I will: - Let the list know (both this thread and the '2 hfc-pci cards do not work' thread) - Write an extensive wiki article on the setup for others to learn from... ;-) Cheers -- Francesco Peeters ---- GPG Key = AA69 E7C6 1D8A F148 160C D5C4 9943 6E38 D5E3 7704 If your program doesn't recognize my signature, please visit http://www.CAcert.org/index.php?id=3 to retrieve the Root CA certificate. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
