Hey all, We have been using a TDM400 card at work to provide our IVR. We we have upgraded our server and now require the same capability, but on a card that goes into a PCI Express. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. oh, and it has to work with the zaptel drivers for linux. thanks all. sk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[asterisk-users] help with picking out a digium card.
Some rack-mount servers I've encountered have an option to have the older-style PCI slots available in at least some slots. If you're really just using four FXS/FXO ports, it's unlikely you need very much horsepower, and you could use an older system for the foreseeable future. If you really need FXS/FXO, but want new non-PCI hardware, you might be better off considering an asterisk appliance that would convert FXS/FXO to SIP and let your new gear do the SIP, or just configure asterisk directly on that appliance. You would probably save power consumption versus a new server or even the old server currently in use.
