TNT. I don't believe they are rated to handle that much voice. The
APX1000 would be a much better platform, but I don't know if you can
find one used.
I will admit, I am a bitter X-Livingston employee.
First Lucent bought us for our cool gear, then they bought
Ascend for sales and marketing......
I still can't believe they kept the TNT alive and killed PM4.
The PM3 LIVES ON DUDE! :) I'm all about Livingson, and have refused to put the Asscend stuff in my data center. Seriously, Jake over at portmasters.com is doing some good stuff with the PM3. Now that we've got control of ComOS, it is just a matter of time before new ComOS releases start coming out for the unit. Several people have already rolled their own and added a few niggling fixes to the 3.9.1c1 code branch.
It would be great if we could find a way to use the PM3 as an inbound channel bank for Asterisk though. I have like 7 of them sitting in the back doing nothing..
I like that idea. I wrote all the drivers for the PM3 and it would fairly easy to do. Looking at the prices on portmasters.com, you could have a 2 t1 inbound channel bank for about $350. Add another $150 for an extra t1. I think we used the same Dallas framers that Digium uses.
I am a very big * fan and I am feeling a little guilty that I am using an ethernet
only solution. No Digium cards. I would really like to support Digium, but
I do not want to start pluggin any PCI cards into the box other than an extra
ethernet or 2. I would love to see Digium come out with a t1/e1 to ethernet
channel bank. Compared to when we made the PM3 there are some way cool
processors with built in TDM and ethernet.
Yo Digium, I am hanging out here in CA with nothing better to do than play with *. Why don't you contract out and let me and a few of my unemployed friends build a little channel bank for you.
