Thanks everyone for the valuable inputs... much appreciate. Correct me if I m wrong... - Use "chan_ss7" if only 1 signaling link available. - User "libss7" if multiple signaling link available. I have four TE420 T1/E1 cards and I'm planning to use two server with two cards each... I guess I have to verify with the Telecom on how many signaling link they are going to provide, correct? Once again thanks for the info... Have a nice weekend.
