 Sure it is.  Just get a media gateway that does T.38 - and does it
 relatively well.


Wich the Pattons do quite well afaik.

 Just for the record, Sangoma Media Gateway does exactly that, leave all

 Asterisk through the Woomera protocol.

What is the advantage of doing Woomera rather than a complete SIP
gateway? Is Woomera hardware that much cheaper than e.g. SIP-to-PRI? Is
it easier to configure?

It can be argued that is easier to configure, but I'll leave that to
sysadmins to decide. The point is Woomera is not meant to replace SIP or
compete with it, is just an easy way to distribute your TDM interfaces and
not have them in the same server where you do media processing, IVR, routing
etc.

This should leave the picture more clear
http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-linux-asterisk-ss7

So typically you will send all your TDM calls to 1 or more Asterisk servers
running chan_woomera and any other service you want to provide in there
(including SIP outbound calls).

 I might even be willing to try out a more expensive PRI card if I knew
 it also supported BRI: just as long as I would no longer have to worry
 about the software support for it -- for both Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6.

 Thanks,

 Jaap


You can use Sangoma Media Gateway along with Asterisk (
http://wiki.sangoma.com/sangoma-wanpipe-smg-asterisk-bri-installation)

That is known to work pretty well for lots of people.

We use Patton BRI gateways. No problems so far.
If possible, we prefer to keep telephony interfaces out of Asterisk box.

 Hi all,

 For a while now I've been using Asterisk together with HFC-PCI cards  
 (Cologne chipset) for Euro-ISDN BRI support. However, I do not  
 consider this to be the most reliable solution and believe that the  
 most stubborn problems have always been software related.

 If my clients are willing to spend a bit more money on different  
 hardware, what do you think the best solution would be?

 I might even be willing to try out a more expensive PRI card if I knew  
 it also supported BRI: just as long as I would no longer have to worry

What a great idea! I'm going to remember that. Unfortunately, I  
believe that would be of no use if you also wanted to use your ISDN  
connection for a networked fax system, such as with Hylafax and  
IAXmodem.

Cheers,
