Actual time this weekend to work on the new home server greenblatt. I'm seriously looking at setting up this server as Asterisk server to run our home telephony completely. I bought a Sitecom DC-105 ISDN card that can run in NT mode. I tested the mISDN linux drivers and after some iterations I found the working combination for getting a working drivers without a kernel panic. To thoroughly test them I'm running it at the moment in TE (terminal equipment) mode. A test call is set up analog phone → fritzbox → isdn → isdn card → mISDN driver → Asterisk 1.4 → SIP → another Asterisk. The first call was to a SIP phone connected to that Asterisk but for a longterm torture test I connected it to a very irritating music on hold channel. So both the driver gets a torture and the eventual listener. After three hours of music-on-hold I think the mISDN driver works. Now to find a way to test lots of call setups with the card in NT mode.I first tried to use an external Asterisk but with all the competition for port 5060 on the external IP that was not working. One of those things were NAT shows its ugly head.
