X100P Clones, for the ast time (was Re: [Asterisk-biz] Sipura replacement)

[bob bowles]

I bought a batch of the Ambient MD3200 cards and they work just fine.

FCC Part 68 ID is 5RJ which claims to be:

5RJ|AMIGO TECHNOLOGY CO LTD|4F 12 LANE 609 SEC 5 CHUNG HSIN
RD|||TAIPEI HSIEN TAIWAN|

as the manufacturer.

Echo seems non-existent (though they are plugged directly into Vonage ATAs.
