I'm looking to add a single FXO port to my Asterisk box. It looks like my options are a Digium Wildcard X100P off eBay for $6.99, or a Wildcard TDM400P with an FXO Module from Digium for $125. Can anyone explain the tradeoffs (other than the ability to put 4 FXO/FSO modules on the TDM400P). What about RTC for the system - I know the TDM400P provides it. Does the X100P? Thanks!
Port count should be the only net difference.

They seem to only support US style analog lines(600ohm). If you have trouble, you are most likely on your own. TDM400P with FXO daughter card includes 1 hour of Digium support. It is supposed to support other line types. If you have trouble, it is likely you will get direct support from Digium and from the community here. TDM400P card is also capable of adding more ports without increasing interupts on your server. If you need to add another X100P later on, that will double the interupt load on the machine. With no one really making much money on the X100P card and I don't think anyone is making them anymore, you may not get new features added to the driver. The TDM400P card will probably be developed for a while to come as it the current option. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
Steven is totally right BTW. No support for clones. However, I will tell you this. I built my first box with a clone so I could see if I could do all I needed on this system. Then I promptly purchased my two TDM400s for my 8 POTS lines. Wish it were PRI but those are the breaks for this building. My recommendation is that you can test with a clone but when it comes time to build for real, put your money where it counts and get original Digium equipment. You get the support and you are giving back to the people who released Asterisk at NO CHARGE in the first place. If that is not motivation enough, I can guarantee that the clone equipment does not work as good as the real thing. Good site to buy from http://www.thevoipconnection.com $0.02. Good luck!
