Would I be better off looking at a fractional PRI? I'm only using 4

No one has any comments on this? No recommendations, or you are stupid

Daniel,

no you are not stupid. It's just that very few people have had a BRI
experience in the US. The only CAPI card with support for NI-1 is the
Eicon DIVA Server (single BRI or four BRI). They work with NI-1 BRIs
and chan_capi. And chan_capi supports the active echo cancelation on
the Eicon cards.
If you can wait for a while then you will be able to use the very
cheap hfc-pci based ISDN cards in the US, too (or our quad and octoBRI
cars). NI-1 support is already on my to-do list for the zaptel BRI
support, but i cannot give you an ETA yet.

best regards

Klaus

How about, I'm interested too?  I've had an ISDN line for ages, but I've 
always used a Terminal adapter.  Now that my office is looking into VOIP 
options and I'm the guinnea (spelling?) pig, it would be nice to combine 
everything with Asterisk.  I think.

I have a ASUSCOM passive card and a BRI circuit, but I can't get it to 
work.  I've tried both isdn4linux and capi.  I suspect problems with the 
card.

I couldn't find a supplier in the US so I got the card from a supplier 
in the UK.  With DSL in the UK, it's now hard to find passive cards, 
especially US compatible.  I'm reluctant to suffer the shipping costs to 
replace this card.

I'm thinking BRI for voice is a dead issue, at least here in the states.
Thoughts?

I've been running Nortel switches here in the states with BRI trunking 
for more than a decade. I am constantly told that  the audio coming out 
of our office is nothing short of stunning. BRI is a great thing for 
voice, although in this country the phone companies just can't stop 
thinking data when you talk to them about it.

Would really like to stick an Asterisk box between the CO and the Nortel 
switch if anyone comes up with a BRI card that works in the US. Another 
problem is that all the Euro-BRI cards are ST interface. Here in the US 
BRI is delivered from the LEC as a U.
