asterisk users - Jul 2007 - Viable Alternatives to TDM400P

I have now within 18 months had a second TDM400P die, the first time was
random call drops, and now it will not go off hook when making a call.
To summarise, the card stopped making calls, I replaced the computer
hardware, installed new OS and new Asterisk  (from 1.2 to 1.4) without
making a difference, the only factor in common is the TDM400P ... oh the
card will receive calls just fine, so it's not a surge that has blown
anything.

Anyway, are there any viable alternatives to the Digium cards for
analogue termination as yet. I need a minimum of 3 FXO ports.

Are the Sangoma cards any good (I noticed a 5 year warranty on those
ones)?

Regards, Michael.

I've used both and I can recommend them.
