Actually ISDN is the same just about anywhere. The easy thing to do is to find out what sort of switch the service is provided from. Options that are most used are Lucent 5ESS or Nortel. Canada was pretty big with Nortel gear till they filed for bankruptcy and they went with Lucent 5ESS. I know as I almost became a remote tech for lucent to handle NYS, Canada and PA. Canada was jumpy about the Lucent switch as they were very unfamiliar with it so they wanted on-site techs. Yes, BRI is old school, but still very popular on a number of fronts. Scratch your idea for VoIP as it sucks. ISDN is fairly cheap for what you get. Parameters Lucent 5ESS BRI 2B+D National or Custom National is used everywhere. Custom seems to be based in Rochester, NY (Another whole story) You MUST be sure the CO matches what you have and it is YOUR gear that must be compatible with the phone companies.

Big reason for his interest is his feeds are BRI and soon SIP; with POTS to history. There's a major advantage to have BRI terminate intelligently in the PBX, not as a series of POTS trunks. I know the 30 was never sold in the US but was in Canada. What I'm not clear about was did it support North American ISDN or only EuroISDN? Anyone in Canada or here using one? _________________________________________________________________ KX-T Mailing list --- http://kxthelp.com/ Subscription changes: http://kxthelp.com/mailman/listinfo/kxt _________________________________________________________________ KX-T Mailing list --- http://kxthelp.com/ Subscription changes: http://kxthelp.com/mailman/listinfo/kxt
