Here is what I am looking for: picture a cisco catalyst switch. (or any 24port rackmount switch thats 1U). Plug into ports 1-23, a single PRI. Plug a 100Megabit (or gigabit) ethernet cable into Port 24 that goes directly to asterisk.
Now you have 1 cable to/from asterisk that can handle all 23 pri's. kinda like a channel bank for FX but for PRI. got anything like that? -Matthew ----- Original Message ----- From: "W.
