That used to be true before Digium released their version 2 firmware.
Since then I have done performance tests comparing the Digium TE405Pv2
with the Sangoma a104u and they perform very close to each other and
the Digium card performs slightly better on RBS T1s than the Sangoma
card.<br>

I have recently put my test TE406P(Digium echo-can card) in production
and am awaiting an a104D from Sangoma to test as well. I will put the
review up after running them both for a couple weeks, hopefully in
November some time.<br>

I should not say the on-board resources "alleviate" the load on the host<br>CPU, but rather, they "lessen" the load. I think integrators who<br>use Sangoma products would agree you can run them on a slightly more
<br>lean CPU/RAM config than you'd want to use for a similar Digium board.<br><br>--<br>Cory Andrews<br>Senior Partner<br>+++++++++++<br>VOIPSupply.com<br>454 Sonwil Drive<br>Buffalo, NY 14225<br>+++++++++++<br>voice - 716.630.1555

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-biz] Sangoma A104D Shipping Soon<br>I'd imagine your standard Asterisk config would work. Intel P4 3.0 GHZ,<br>512MB-1GB of RAM. The Sangoma's do a lot of the "heavy lifting" on the<br>
board, which alleviates the load for the host CPU. I'm sure we'll see<br>some benchmarking on these soon.<br><br>
