asterisk users - May 2007 - T1 interface

Would anyone care to recommend a T1 interface method for Asterisk that 
would function as an (external) alternative to a PCI card like the 
Digium TE120P? Like some sort of T1-SIP gateway?

Also, would anyone with experience using these products care to comment 
on the practical value of the TE207P vs. the TE205P?

You could get yourself a cisco universal gateway or a Audiocodes Mediant
1000 Single Span T1 SIP Gateway.

With regard to the cards: In my experience, you want an echo cancellation
card if you are connected to a carrier without echo cancellers. Typically,
LEC circuits do not have echo cancellers and long distance carriers do. I
personally do not buy Digium hardware anymore. I've had such an abysmal
experience with Digium's hardware quality and overall support in th past
that I now only use Sangoma equipment. I have never had a problem with
Sangoma's equipment. Their service is exemplary and they have even offered
me free professional services in the past to optimize my gateway setup.

I wouldn't spit on Digium hardware if it was on fire.
