*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* In setting up Asterisk, I'm looking to dump my current phone system (Nortel Venture). I presently have three POTS lines. I would use a VOIP provider, but now are presently available in the Toronto, ON, CANADA area that support user owned hardware/software. I need a 416/647 area code number. In looking at FXO cards to atteach to the lines, I've seen the Digum single port FXO card and their multipoort FXS cards. So far, the cheapest route seems to be to buy three Digum FXO cards; however, the system I want to use them it only has some three/four PCI slots. Having one card with three FXO ports would be useful. I'm also open to using an external device. I bought a DLink dual port MCGP FXS device and that works well. The name of the game is CHEAP though...and Ebay has not been very useful. Any recommendations? Experiences? Mark

Assuming that they're priced similarly to their FXS ports, that would give you 4 FXO ports in 1 slot for around $300 US. Scott

Ebay has these unit's in good working order for around $ 400 to $ 500.00 dollar mark. Your setup is a small one and all you need is a basic PC with around 256mg of ram. PIII 800 or better. You can use your current Analog phones and add the sip later on!> Any recommendations?

A quick search on eBay turned up this 4 port FXO external box for US$299: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3087347715&category=51279 ...anyone know if it's compatible with Asterisk? Tip: Search eBay for "FXO" and check the box saying search titles and descriptions.

There seems to be a problem with the rc14 zaphfc drivers. The latest version RC16 seems to resolve the problem.
