Joseph, Thanks man for the info... Yea, I am going to setup a separate box but is it possible to use SIP? I am planning to route the calls directly to the SS7 Asterisk box from my softswitch. The softswitch we are using only supports H.323 and SIP - "Nextone Softswitch". Orite let me start setting up...
