Lucent TNT box price is attractive, but based on real experience it is not very VOIP friendly. You have to consider it. It is hard to interconnect with Cisco for example. I have no idea about Max TNT-Asterisk interconnection. We are using Nextone softswitch and able to serve clients and interconnect via Cisco's to Max TNT only via NExtone, but direct interconnect Cisco-MaxTNT almost impossible. However, if you are using TNT's on both terminating/originating ends, then it is extremely great solution.

Eight quad-span T-1 cards from Digium: $8,970 Three reasonable-quality asterisk servers: $1,000 One T-1/DS-3 MUX: $5000 Total system cost: $14,970 That actually sounds quite reasonable to me. However, if I were doing this myself I would look hard at getting a MAX TNT with VoIP capability off eBay. The price would be equivalent or less, the interface would be more complicated, but all the DSP would be done by the MAX. --Ernest _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
