Re: [asterisk-users] OT - mISDN and B410P questions
Have you tried Digital calls over the B410P, using DAHDI and B410P as bri_net_ptmp? See https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16151 Useful when a business is E1/T1 connected, but need a BRI connection to a remote warehouse, without needing a dedicated BRI line.

Re: [asterisk-users] OT - mISDN and B410P questions
2009/10/24 Darrick Hartman dhart...@djhsolutions.com Oliver, I have some comments, but am looking for a good answer to this as well. 1). 2.6.27 kernels to include a version of mISDN v2.0. It's not as up to date as the full version on the mISDN.org site. that would be great if someone with inside knowledge could jump on this thread and further explain the situation (differences between misdn versions in 2.6.27 kernel and the one downloadable from misdn.org, 1.x and 2.x) 2). From my understanding chan_lcr is the preferred way to connect Asterisk to mISDN v2.0. From what I've read it does require some form of the LCR software to function. It was a whole level of added complexity that I didn't want to add to the AstLinux project (unless we're forced to do so to support mISDN in Asterisk 1.6+). yes. For me the main issue is, I may be wrong, I don't remember seeing any evidence in this list of people using chan_lcr. From a project maintainer's point of view, having mISDN functionality in dahdi is a total win, provided that enough European ISDN hardware is supported. A more interesting approach are these new ISDN cards that appear as a network interface to the system (using a Realtek chip I believe). A few of the ISDN users who use AstLinux are starting to look at those cards. What we've decided to do at this point in the AstLinux project is to continue using mISDN v1 with Asterisk 1.4 releases. We have not been successful in building chan_misdn against Asterisk 1.6 (but then again, we haven't tried very hard either since we're hoping for a better solution as mISDN v1 has more than it's share of issues). I could successfully build yesterday misdn 1.1.9.1 with 1.6.2.0-rc3 but didn't try it yet.

Is it correct that Asterisk MUST use chan-lcr to access this mISDN software or is it still possible to install mISDN 1.X to be able to use chan_misdn ? 3.

Sorry if that my post was not clear. I'm using Dahdi because I'm happy with it. It works and is simple to set up: it does not need any external patch / software. Before BRI support in Dahdi, I used BRIstuff, which worked fine, but didn't follow Asterisk releases. And it was more work to set up. I tried mISDN, but then I depended on specific kernel versions. I also had echo problems. So I quickly abandoned mISDN. The conclusion is that I'm very happy with BRI support in Dahdi. I've been waiting for it, probably for more than 5 years !
