Hello Folks, I'm trying to decide here between a few cards for connecting an Asterisk box to a single E1 channel (either PRI or R2 signaling): - Digium E100P: has been replaced by the TE110P below, but can still be had at places like digitnetworks.com for $475, and I guess there's always a place for good-olde-obsolete cards in the world as long as they work :-) - Digium TE110P: replacement for the above card. Costs $595 at the Digium webstore; aditionally can be configured to work with both E1 *and* T1. - Sangoma A101: billed as "compatible with Asterisk" on Sangoma's page at http://www.sangoma.com/products/p_a101-102-specs.htm; also for E1 and T1, the specs list only compatibility with CAS and PRI signaling, but a pal asked Sangoma directly and they said that the card is compatible with E1/R2 signaling. Cost is also $595 at voipstore.atacomm.com. On the side of the E100P/TE110P there's my wish to support Digium in any way I can for the nice work they are doing with Asterisk; But then, I've been using Sangoma cards for almost 9 years now on data (frame-relay, PPP, etc) applications, and the first card I bought from them is still working on a production machine(!); Also, the A101 works with Linux for data-only connections too (something I understand the Digium cards can't do at the moment) and can be upgraded to a dual-E1 A102 for an additional $300. So what I would like to ask the knowledgeable guys and gals here is: 1) Can anyone tell any good/bad/nice/ugly experiences with any of the above cards and Asterisk, specially in an E1/R2 configuration? 2) Can anyone point me to nice on-line sellers of Asterisk-compatible hardware, specially E1 cards? The only ones I know are the Digium webstore, and the above mentioned digitnetworks.com and voipstore.atacomm.com... I'm about to spend a fair chunk of money from my own pockets in this, friends, and all your comments/suggestions/advice is very, very welcome. Thanks in advance, Telmo. ---- SeeqMail - the only email you'll ever need Starts Here Sign up for FREE personalized email today: http://www.seeqmail.com http://www.Grassroots.org/ - Make Change! ----

[Asterisk-Users] E1 card for Asterisk
Hello, I use TE405 and TE410 for more than one year, they work perfectly! For me, Digium Cards are the best choice (if they feet the need) for different reasons: 1. They support Digium that is supporting Asterisk. 2. Digium offer free support to install their card when you buy from them. 3. I think they are more used by asterisk developers than others (so more stable ?)

Follow-up to the list: The boss decided to take over my private project (so the money's no longer coming from my own purse -- yeepee!) and, after doing some research of his own and talking to the Sangoma people, he decided to go the Sangoma way. I will keep the list posted on our success/failures, as I will be heavily involved with this on the technical side. Best Regards, -- Telmo.
