asterisk users - Oct 2005 - TE411P and TE406P stability

I am getting ready to purchase my first Digium card to start experimenting with
Asterisk.  Before I make my purchase, I wanted to make sure I'm not going to
have issues with these cards (need to see what the specs are on my box, 5V or
3.3V PCI ).  I will be using Asterisk @ Home, so will be Asterisk v1.0.9.  I
took a quick poke at the lists, and it appears several people have been having
issues.  Am I better served with a TE410P until 1.2 becomes stable and released?

Do you specifically need hardware echo cancellation?

If not you may want to try the TE405P/TE410P first and if you find that you
need the hardware echo-canceller you can upgrade the card for $900(for some
strange reason actually saves $100 over the list price of the TE411P)

TE405P = $1495.00
quoted upgrade price for TE405P to TE406P = $900
upgraded TE405P to TE406P cost = $2395

TE406P = $2495.00

So it may save you money anyway if you go the upgrade path.

As for a version, 1.2beta 1 is very stable, we've been using it on two
high-volume production servers for over a month now with only one crash in
that time. I would recommend Asterisk 1.2beta1

Hope this helps,

Hi Matt,
    Thanks for the response.  I wasn't aware you could upgrade the card.  In
that case, I think I'll make my boss happy by saving money and going with
the regular card first.

I'm basically checking out how well Asterisk works before putting into
production for our office.  I figure I'll start with 1.0.9, and hopefully
have time to check out 1.2 before we go production, and in that time, the
stability will increase even more.

Thanks,

James Texter
