Also, what is the present status of the OpenSS7 stack in Asterisk? What can it do now? The SS7 stack in asterisk is still under development. Any comments mattf? SS7 support is in trunk right now. We can always use more testers for the stack :-) To use, check zaptel-trunk, libss7, and asterisk-trunk svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/trunk zaptel-trunk svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/libss7/trunk libss7 svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk asterisk-trunk Compile, and look at the README file in libss7 for zaptel configuration and the sample zapata.conf for asterisk configuration.

I'd like to see that done, however, I've been mostly focusing on making sure that its current feature set is solid.

[asterisk-users] TDM bus extension.
In reference to an old post from 2002: http://www.marko.net/asterisk/archives/0203/0103.html How does one go about doing this? Also, what is the present status of the OpenSS7 stack in Asterisk? What can it do now? And is there any possibility in the future of developing a DS3 card for it, if only for the purpose of mostly DACSing? Which is still a level of intelligent call control on the TDM bus that is highly in demand for VoIP applications that require PSTN interconnection. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : +1-678-954-0670 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Of course, even if you can stack a PC to the brim with quad-T1 cards and expect it to actually work, there is the pervasive problem of the fact that it still can't compare with something as relatively cheap -- and exponentially more featureful -- as a TNT, which can process multiple DS3s and serve as a fairly high-volume, high-density media gateway. How to compete with that when you can't even take DS3s? -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : +1-678-954-0670 ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
