I'll leave others to suggest models and prices, but in my experience, you're better with a SIP-GSM gateway and cutting out the analogue loop altogether. They're a bit more expensive, but it'll save you many hours playing with echo cancellation and gain settings on the FXS module. Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.

They're a bit more expensive, but it'll save you many hours playing with echo cancellation and gain settings on the FXS module. You don't have to have analogue loop. There are a number of GSM PCI adapters, and all of them seem to have a separate signalling channel between the GSM device and Asterisk. For instance, the GSM support included in bristuff (used for the Junghanns GSM adapter) sets each GSM port as an ISDN-like device with just one B channel but still with one D channel. AFAIK, both the Bero.net and the VoiSmart GSM devices are likewise digital. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I believe you are correct about the one device per bluetooth dongle. I wondered about multiple dongles since they are so cheap but never went so far as to test it. If memory serves me correctly, you can have 127 USB devices (per controller I believe and they obviously must have enough power to run the dongle). What I am not sure about is the ability in chan_mobile to have multiple dongles or how many bluetooth devices can operate due to RF bandwidth in a small location.

Re: [asterisk-users] GSM SIM Cards and Digium, or GSM SIM Adaptor
I think what you need is a GSM Gateway You can find a cheap one at cyber-telecom.net The model you should be looking for is CT-G1000 or 2000 Plug the SIM in there and it will give you a RJ11 telephone port where you plug into something like X100P then you are ok to go..
