asterisk users - Jan 2011 - Selecting the E1 cards for the call

Dears;

I am looking for the card that does not need an electrical power, which one? Is
the PCI express doing this?

Bilal,

The only telephony cards that require a power connector are those with FXS ports
for plugging in analog telephones as extensions. Any of the E1 cards you are
looking at will not require any additional power beyond what the motherboard
provides to the slot.
