[asterisk-users] Digium stopped TDM400P production: alternatives?? ?In-Reply-To: <47B59559.1030706@rhinoequipment.com> ?References: <47B5778F.2040609@fgasoftware.com> <47B5837E.6030800@digium.com> ? <ea18e54a0802150432k59198302p85b84f43483ccabf@mail.gmail.com> ? <47B58F8B.2080402@hillis.dyndns.org> ? <47B59559.1030706@rhinoequipment.com> ? ?You are kidding, right ??? ? ?A small user that just buys one card won't get a good support from ?Digium. It'll be just a waste of time on the phone. ? ?Practically any manufacturer gives similar support including ssh'ing ?in the users box. ? ?Right now they push the user to buy a 4 channel echo canceller which ?you can get from Octasic for $40. The card with 4 ports is retail ?around $640. ? ?You can get OpenVox or another brand TDM400P compatible for 1/3 of ?that + $40 for echo canceller. Now that's a Digium high marigin right there ?... someone has to pay the CEO salary and the mortgage for a ?new building :) ? ?cheers ? ?On 2/15/08, James Finstrom <jfinstrom@rhinoequipment.com> wrote: ?> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ?> Hash: SHA1 ?> ?> I would say email Kevin what he asked.
