Well, I wont say my time is cheap or that I know everything about the T1s. However, I did manage to build my PBX on *, implement Polycom IP 500 phones pulling configs from the network, and script my own extensions all with an initially minimal understanding of Linux. I have dealt with problems as they arose, sought out solutions on the wiki and elsewhere, learned more about Linux and I am very comfortable with the system now.
Telecom is complex but that does not mean that only a contractor can get it done. If I had money to pay a contractor, I would probably have had money to buy a boxed PBX in the first place. Cost effective has always been the greatest selling point to me regarding my * PBX. Just enjoying the challenge and learning new things has been good too. I have no question that I am capable of implementing this. How long it will take and how hard are of course different questions. That I have only myself as a resource is not. After reading the wiki on setting up the PRI it does not look that complicated to me. The recompile is the only portion that looks time consuming. That may prove wrong or right. Regardless, I will be going the course alone... And that's OK. 8) Thanks, Wiley -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Svensson Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 4:27 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Digium T100P T1 Card On Wed, 5 Jan 2005, Wiley Siler wrote: > A consultant so I can get a T1 PRI on my wall and use it with my > Asterisk box?

Getting someone who knows the field is really a good idea for almost anything more complex than a single analoge connection. If you do know the stuff yourself, great. Otherwise your time will have to be pretty cheap to compensate for the time it takes to know enough to build an isdn pbx with voip.
