This will not be possible. A PRI is composed of 23 B Channels and one
signalling channel. with 12 BRI's you would have 24 B Channels and 12 16k
signalling channels. But hey, if someone has something to prove me wrong,
I want one too..

Subject: ISDN channel bank?

I am looking for what would basically be an ISDN "channel bank".

IOW, a box that would take 12 BRIs in one side and spit out
a PRI on the other - and vice versa. Sorta like a traditional
channel bank does with analog POTs lines and channelized T-1.

Why? In my situation, B channels delivered via a BRI are 1/3rd
the cost of them delivered via PRI. I use Newbridge channel
banks for POTS in similar applications and for similar reasons.

Thanks for any help or leads. This is to be used with PM3s until
the BRI interface comes out (if it does in fact get done).

Thanks.
