I know the X100P cards are not supported by Digium any more, but for home office use, are they still acceptable? I have two POTS lines, one residential and one business line comming into the house. I'd like to get both into my * server and $15 total compared to > $100 for the newer TDMxxx card sure is desirable. Having said that, will the sound quality, functionality, stability, etc. be as good? I don't want to spend any more than I have to, but if the X100P cards are crappy, unstable, whatever than saving a couple bucks is not worth it. - Gary
We are having good luck with these cards up to 4 cards in a server. However make sure they do not share IRQ's or you will get weird noises on the line. Anything over 4 lines and we use a TDM card. We also do a six line server that is a 4 line TDM and 2 X100P's and that is working great also. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Gary MacKay Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 6:41 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Dual X100P cards I know the X100P cards are not supported by Digium any more, but for home office use, are they still acceptable?

I've had two working and since have replaced them with a tdm card. If you are in the US, the cards can be made to function but you'll need to pay attention to the motherboard in use, shared interrupts, etc, etc. For the small difference in expenditures, I'd seriously consider a pair of spa3000's or something like that. They will give you far more flexibility and a lot less support problems.
