asterisk users - Apr 2008 - UK POTS - Is there a better card than TDM400P available ?

Hi,

I am feeling very frustrated with the Digium TDM400P, I have 3 x FXS  
1x FXO modules and I have tried various things and different versions  
of Asterisk and Zaptel to no avail.

Clearly there are issues with this card, so I am wondering - is there  
a card out there that does the following without the inherent problems  
of the TDM400 ?

I.e a card that can reliably do:

UK CID
Distinctive Ring Detection.

Any pointers would be great.

Thanks.

( or is there an Asterisk version and Zaptel version in the 1.4 branch  
that fixes these issues ? )

Snap,

Well, after trying to buying a TDM400P and then getting persuaded to buy 
a TDM410P
because they no longer sell the 400 model I'd say I'm not impressed. It 
took three 2.6
kernel builds (zaptel 1.4 won't even build with the latest kernel 
release) before I finally got the
kernel to build and recognise the device. Can't get callerid to work, 
have followed the instructions
to the letter, does it really have to be this hard? Must say I'm tempted 
to just send the card
back and forget about it and just use Cisco CallManager. Digium's 
support to be fair have been
responsive but unable to help.
