Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk and E1 Cards
That is up to you. I have never really looked at the pluses. Personally, it is not for me, especially if you have to do a bit of tweaking.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk compatible E1 cards
It's not the card's fault, it's the lack of a software driver fault. R2 has a country dependent implementation. Some countries even have two incompatible standards internally.

Digium E1 cards dont work for R2 type signalling. Can anyone suggest me asterisk compatible E1 cards which would work on R2. Also if anyone on this list is from INDIA and uses asterisk and E1 lines please let me know what type of cards (which vendor) do you use and what type of signally your E1 line uses. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
