[Freeswitch-users] BRI for North American switch types

[Kurt Albershardt]

Have a number of Atlas 800 and 830 boxes here and use them all the time for PRI testing and inteop.  No VoIP module for those - just confirmed with Adtran to be certain.  So yes, we could use an Atlas to convert BRI to PRI, but then we need a PRI card/gateway and we are again adding a lot of parts and expense to a simple setup.

I see there might be some hope for the Eicon (now Dialogic) boards via CAPI <http://www.dialogic.com/support/helpweb/slnxen/asterisk.asp>
<http://www.dialogic.com/products/tdm_boards/system_release_software/Diva_for_Linux.htm>

Will FreeSwitch talk to CAPI?
