Got my 2 dreytek adapters today... Dropped them on to my test system. After wadding thru my Memory of how to setup mISDN, I had it up and running within about 2 hours.
Both of them operating in ptmp with no echo cancel turned on at this stage. Seems to be happy. Will drop them onto my local production box next week and see how we go :D Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig Guy Sent: Sunday, 12 March 2006 11:40 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] MultiBRI in Australia - found one - maybe Being USB 1.1 is not a problem - there is more than enough bandwidth for a BRI in USB. The handsets used in the BRI install are Snom 360's with firmware 5.3 and internal users have complained of slight echo, however I believe this is more to do with the Snoms than the Draytek adapters. For faxing use we have installed a Grandstream ATA 286. I haven't had any feedback yet regarding problems or success with faxing for this customer. I would have expected to hear of any problems faxing by now but I will try to follow it up, however as long as the latency is consistent (ie minimal jitter in the USB stack) it shouldn't cause any problems for fax. At work in our own office we have two SNOM 360's and people with them also complain of slight echo. (We are using TE110p PRI for PSTN). The rest of our office use a combination of Sipura 841, Cisco 7960 and Grandstream BT101 and there are no echo complaints with any of these non Snom handsets, so at this point it doesn't appear that these BRI adapters have echo problems.

Someone from Cologne has commented that because it us a USB device, there may be some latency issues (which will amplify any echo problems) and I suspect that faxing may also suffer a bit. They are also only USB1.1, but I'm not sure if that's a problem. Have you tested faxing? Even if faxing doesn't work well enough to be useful because of the delays, I think this is a very nice solution to my problem (lack of BRI hardware in AU). Thanks again for bringing it to my attention!!!
