[nsp] Trying to connect Nortel Meridian Option 11 to SL100 us ing Cisco voice modules

[FILYURIN, YAN]

I probably could if I wanted to, but I was hoping to avoid any kind of PBX
reconfiguration, which is pain to do in our company.  If I would be setting
it up for the first time, it would be a way to go, but I am moving it from
IDNX WAN switches to the routers, so I'd like to keep the set up the same.
Now could I do it without changing the PBX configuration or asking our voice
people to do minimal changes?

Is there anyway you can do PRI instead of CAS??

Depending on the loads in your Meridian, you should be able to.

PRI is simpler (IMHO) and allows passing of CALLING party information
without dual-step outpulsing on the CAS (quicker call setup times with
CALLING party passed).
