Hi all, With the gamut of FXO cards out there, I'm looking for a recommendation for home use. I have a nicely working Asterisk 1.4 system that just requires an FXO card to connect my NTL PSTN to it. My previous X101P clone seems to have kicked the bucket. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards Kyle -- Kyle Gordon kyle@lodge.glasgownet.com http://lodge.glasgownet.com

This device does not connect to the PCI bus, at all. It has two RJ11 ports that can connect to a LAN, or directly to the asterisk box so it may be possible to "make it work", somehow, but it cannot "replace" a TDM card, which is what I thought you were suggesting. I missed the original posting. Since no one else has spoken up, perhaps I am off base. Please help clear up what I am missing. joe a.
