[cisco-voip] Transcoding/Conferencing on the same ISDN Gateway

[Matthew Saskin]

I regularly see single gateways handle all functions (PSTN termination,
conferencing, transcoding) for sites of all sizes.  I know of nothing
[design-wise] preventing you from doing this.  In fact, I can think of some
very large installations I've seen that were done by advanced services where
3845's were being used to terminate 10-12 PRI's plus handle a few hundred
transcoding sessions.
