:In order to provide 56K service to one of our POP's that does not have
:either 'channelized T-1 (supertrunk)' or 'PRI' service our local telco
:is suggesting that we purchase 18 ISDN BRI circuits to replace our 36
:analog lines and connect ISDN modems to our PM2e-R.
:Has anyone tried this soution? If so, can each ISDN modem terminate two
:analog calls?
Yes but it is not as good. We tried with Motorola Buttsniffer Pro's first,
with 2 external modems tied to each. You end up loosing a port and sometimes
the bitsurfers would get "stuck". And you dont really get 56k because there
is a digital to analog converstion to the pots port. So what next...
Then we tried with the courrier Mp8i only to discover that they dont work
very well either, even tho they were supposed to do the job in theory.
Ive seen several list members dumping them.
BTW, Im wondering how they can offer BRI but not PRI, since the CO equipment
to do either is the same. But anyway, lets say they are only willing to give
you bri.
Another alternative, albeit expensive, is to buy the bri's, feed them into a
switch like the Adtran Atlas 800, which can covert them to a Channelized PRI
and then feed that into a PM 3 or other.
Another alternative is to use OR-U-AP's but then you only get 1 analog port
Also, look into alternative carriers in that area who might be able to give
you ct1.
