I dont see Aculab as an competitor to Digium at all. Their cards does cost about 3 times as much as the TE410 that I use now. Why would anyone even consider using these cards then ?. I have myself been using them for 10+ years so I have a bit of experience with their cards. If it was possible to use an Aculab card and a TE410 in the same server then we would be able to dump the last of our old servers and replace them with '*' servers. The reason that we use the Aculab cards is because of their C7/SS7 ISUP support which is a 'must' in several of our installations. In addition to this they do support a large number of legacy R2 protocol and they do carry PTT approvals for using these protocols in almost any country. I think that the card they have with 4 E1's / H323 and ethernet could be considered just as a MG seen from the '*' side and that might be the most easy way to go if you dont want go all the way and make a channel driver. My 1c on that issue. Freddi

The Aculab acting as an endpoint should be able to register at the '*' (allthough I haven't actually tried it). The voice will not be using either the S.100 or PCI bus, it would be coming via the ethernet. You can think of it just like a MG that speaks SS7 against the PTT and H323 again '*'. The program that uses the Aculab API would just be a 'dumb' bridging program. The other benefit you get is that all the G723 and G729 to ulaw can be done on the embedded DSP on the board. Freddi
What about their FAX support? Looks like they support T.37 (store and forward) fax and T.30 Lee Goodman ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Roberson" <twisted@indigent.sytes.net> To: <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 7:07 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] I hate to do this but..> I hate to bring this thread back to life, but... > > > it may be possible to get it supported, do you think the price > >point is remotely competitive with Digium hardware?

We are using the TE410P but what I was writing is that we are NOT considering to replace the TE410P with boards from Aculab, we are replacing Aculab boards with Digium boards BUT we would need more Digium boards IF we could use both Digium and Aculab cards in the same server. The reason being that TE410P doesn't support SS7-ISUP so we continue using only Aculab cards in the servers that must support SS7/ISUP. Freddi.
