There is a commercial product that does just that. I cannot reveal
the company name since they are clients of mine but they have a BTS, a
retractable 15 foot tower, a laptop or small PC running Asterisk and
either do VoIP over VSAT or connect via T1/E1.

Mostly government work but they are busy and growing very fast.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

Google multitech CallFinder 100, has both FXO and FXS interface you can
connect.

Problem is you call out and don't get simulated ring back while the GSM
call is being setup.

When you say GSM gateway, do you mean using cell phones as FXOs or do
you mean using Asterisk coupled with a BTS and having your own little
cell?

Thanks,

I've used a 2-channel one too. They also do 4-channels ones - relatively
economical too - compared to PCI cards, and as they're Ethernet/SIP based
then in-theory you can put dozens of them online with no need for drivers,
or PCI slots, etc.

Actually, Portech make 8 port units already, and much larger ones. The
1, 2, 4 & 8 port units are all based on the same hardware, just with
multiple instances of it in the same chassis.

They have the classic problem with interrupt sharing. At least the
card we bought does. Welcome to the 21st century.

If the card happens to not share interrupts, all is well.
