<div><div>Howard,<br>Actually you have tripped over another bad point and issue I have with Digium. First.. see my point about QMail and Dan B.... but to address the other issue. Up until recently I have been purchasing Digium cards; after all.. what better way to support the company that makes the PBX system I use?
<br><br>However, we will not be purchasing any more Digium cards until Digium realizes that PCI is an extremely old standard. As it stands right now, and someone may correct me if I'm wrong, all Digium cards are PCI-X, and hence have issues with sharing IRQs. Unfortunately, as you will see if you do a search on the mailing list, most new motherboards insist on sharing IRQs with things... this causes audio issues.
<br><br>Until Digium gets with 2007, we will be purchasing Sangoma PCI-express cards. I hate to do it, because like I said I want to support Digium, but their hardware is not staying with the times.<br><br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
This is not intended as a sermon but please remember that Asterisk is an<br>open source project that Mark Spencer tripped over into as a business<br>plan. The quality assurance process is for those of us who use and sell
<br>Asterisk systems to perform. We contribute, we use and hopefully we buy<br>interface cards from Digium as a thank you for maintaining Asterisk as<br>an open source project.<br><br>For if it were up to Digium to do all of the exhaustive quality
<br>assurance that you imply, Asterisk would not be open source, freely<br>available or as useful.<br></blockquote></div><br>
