[Mac-telephony-list] Does anyone have any experience conecting asterisk/openPBX to a PRI ?

Mark,

I am in a similar situation, our company's aging Comdial DSU 8 line  
16 station phone system is due for replacement.  I have been  
monitoring this mailing list to watch asterisk (now openpbx)  
development for some time now.  I have been waiting to hear of some  
real world installs, and the methods used.

We are a Mac only manufacturing company and would likely follow a  
similar solution (run on a mac).  I would be very interested to  
follow your deployment and learn all I can of its successes and  
failures.
I already have some questions...:
	How are you connecting the land lines to OpenPBX?  (is that the  
Cisco 2600? I will google it as sonn as I finish this email)	
	Do you need OS X Server or will plain Tiger work fine?
	Are you going to consider the new Linksys(cisco) voip iPhone?
	Will you use any soft phones?
	
I have a million more questions, but I hope simply reading of your  
posts here will answer a lot of them.
I'm sure you can't possibly post daily updates or anything, but even  
to hear the final results would be great.

Anyway, Good luck on this project, and thanks.

Brody

p.s. I love your shop (smalldog) and have been an occasional customer.
