I need to place a SIP FXO gateway in Central America. I've been looking at Quintum products, but the prices are about $150/FXO port. I have a Dell SC400 on the shelf, and I'm considering just installing Asterisk and two TDM04B cards and shipping it down. Does anyone have multiple TDM cards in the SC400? FXO ports on a TDM card are about $75/FXO port. With the Dell, there will be the advantage of trunked IAX (we're paying for bandwidth on both ends). Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something. The mains are 110V. What about answer and disconnect supervision (I'm assuming there isn't any on the FXO circuits). Is there some other way to do this for around $500? Thanks for your help, Mike

However, for FXO ports, I'm using the Digium Wildcard X100P's which can be obtained on eBay for $9-$20, usually. Much cheaper price-per-port, although the TDM would give better expandibility. Just a thought. Nathan
