I don't think SER and SEMS supports any directly attached PRI cards. It is a SIP Proxy registrar, designed to deal with gateways (and Asterisk could be a gateway).
However, I don't think that Asterisk makes a very cheap gateway. Once you factor in the cost of the card, the G.729 codec license, and a fast enough computer to do the coding (since the T1 card does not contain any DSPs), it doesn't seem so cheap anymore. And you'll end up with a gateway which doesn't support VAD/CNG or G.723 either. A used Cisco 2621 with a HDV card starts to look good. You get dedicated DSPs for coding, and support for a variety of different CODECs. Plus working VAD/CNG.

Hi Juha,
Can you please elaborate the missing features? If we want to avoid buying the expensive cisco gw, what's the cheap PRI(T1) supported in sems?
Thanks, Richard

yes, you can do it, but at this point asterisk lacks many important features that are present for example in cisco gws.
