asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Four single-port FXO Cards in one * box

Hi,

I have found some cheap single port FXO Cards on ebay. They are 
apparently X100P compatible like the cards sold by Digium

My question is 1) Are they any good 2) will 4 such cards work in a 
single * box without too much trouble?

Thanks
Andy

Hi, I have one Ambient MD3200 based modem, and it works. There are
problems, but I saw reporting of such problems also with Digium's
official hardware. I know that everyone should buy official Digium
hardware, because of their marvelous job with Asterisk, but US$ 100
was just too expensive for me, as I have only personal use for it.

1) they will work.  Can depend on the phone system in your area and how far
you are from the telco office(in cable feet).

2) 4 would be hard to make work.  Each card needs a different and unique IRQ
and hates to share IRQ's with anything.
