RE: (ASCEND) BRI solutions?

["Troy Settle" <st@i-Plus.net>]

If you're talking about setting up something like an ISDN Centrex
connection, you can do this, but it'll be tricky getting the order through
the telco, and probably way to expensive.

The long and short of it is that you order a PRI on a centrex.  Then, order
a BRI on behalf of your customer on the same Centrex group that your PRI is
on.  Once installed, your customer should be able to maintain a 24/7
connection at a fairly reasonable line cost (in VA, it's ~$45/month/centrex
loop).

Your better solution for a single customer in this situation, would be to
start with a P50, then work up to a Max 1804 (I think this is the 4 BRI
solution), then an 1800 as the # of customers with this service grows.

Currently, we're servicing 10 128k and 1 256k dedicated ISDN customers in
this fashion, and it works beautifully well.  We've explored the PRI Centrex
option, but found it to be a little too expensive at this time.

** Hi,
**
** I currently have a few Max 4004/4048 boxes with free T1
** ports..i'm running
** ftik.m40. We support dialup and ISDN users over PRI lines.
** Now we have a customer that wants ISDN BRI access (2B+D)
** Can we use the 4004/4048 for this? If so, what would need to be done?
** Would a single BRI customer take up 1 T1 port or can we bring a PRI line
** in a allocate 3 channels accordingly for each customer?
** How much memory/CPU load would this incur on a box? I know when we ran
** more than 2 PRIs on a box we had problems..heat, load, memory..so we just
** kept every box at 2, now wondering if we'll have this same problem going
** with a third for this different access.
** If this CANT be done, would you recommend a pipeline 50, a superpipe 95,
** or something else for this task?
**
** Thanx,
**
