[Asterisk-Users] CE certification for Europe

Thu Apr 3 09:05:26 MST 2003

Thats what I specifically asked... Should the whole system be approved (eg.
Computer, cards, software) or just the components. The answer I got back
from two agencies was that hardware approval under R&TTE should be
sufficient. Same as ISDN BRI card manufacturers do...

Hi d hintion,

hmmm...getting approvals for europe isnt that easy.
because you get the approval for a combination of hardware
and driver software, so when you change the driver you loose the approval.

oh yes, sure you can produce the cards and sell them cheaper, but that
doesnt take the development time of the zaptel drivers into account. opening
up a competition against digium based on their software and GPLed hardware
design doesnt sound good to me ..... rather sounds like M$ style to me.

regards
